USB 3.2 Gen 1 Micro-B Plug for High-Speed Data and Power
The Hirose ZX360-B-10S-UNIT(30) is a USB - micro B plug connector from the ZX360 series, designed for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Superspeed USB 3.0) applications. With 10 contacts in a single port, it supports the full 5 Gbps data rate of the standard while carrying up to 1.8A per contact for power delivery.
10 Contacts vs 5 Contacts — Why It Matters for USB 3.0
The 10-contact count is the defining difference between this USB 3.2 Gen 1 micro-B plug and a standard USB 2.0 micro-B plug, which uses only 5 contacts. The extra five contacts carry the SuperSpeed differential pairs (SSTX+, SSTX-, SSRX+, SSRX-) plus a ground return, enabling the 5 Gbps signalling that USB 2.0 cannot support. Compared to the ZX80-B-5SA(30) (5 contacts, USB 2.0) or the ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) (5 contacts, USB 2.0), the ZX360-B-10S-UNIT(30) is the correct choice when the design requires USB 3.0 data rates or the additional power delivery path.
10000 Mating Cycles — Built for Frequent Field Connection
The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance across those cycles, while the steel/stainless shell provides mechanical durability.
