L-com Launches New USB 3.0 ECF-Style Panel Mount Couplers

L-com has launched a new series of USB 3.0, ECF-style, panel mount couplers for use with data acquisition, test and measurement, and PC peripheral interconnect applications.

These new couplers allow high-speed, USB 3.0 connections to be efficiently passed through panels or enclosures by utilizing L-com’s unique ECF flange design.

Coupler options include A to A, A to B, and B to A connector combinations in addition to both chrome-plated, shielded and unshielded ECF housing designs. The chrome-plated models electrically connect the connector shells, and ground to the housing's plating and are perfect for use in applications that require grounding your coupler to your panel or enclosure.

Additional features of these new USB 3.0 ECF couplers include 30-microinch gold-plated contacts that provide reliable connections with repeated mating cycles and easy mounting using two 4-40 screws, which are sold separately (L-com part number ECF440).
