USB 3.0 Type-A Male Solder Connector

This Fervit connector is a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug designed for soldering onto a 6.0 mm outer-diameter cable. It supports Super-Speed at 5 Gbps, Hi-Speed at 480 Mbps and Low-Speed at 1.5 Mbps. The aluminium alloy shell provides mechanical protection for the plug body. The package includes the connector, top cover, bottom cover and screw nut; cable and screwdriver are not supplied.

DIY cable builders and OEM integrators

Suits hobbyists, technicians and OEM/ODM projects that need a custom-length or custom-wired USB 3.0 Type-A termination. Not suitable for users who want a ready-made cable, lack soldering equipment, or require a connector for a cable with an outer diameter other than 6.0 mm. Also not intended for applications demanding throughput beyond the USB 3.0 5 Gbps specification.

Solder-type termination for 6.0 mm cable

The defining specification is the solder-type termination matched to a 6.0 mm cable outer diameter. This determines whether the part can be used in a given cable assembly. Verify your cable dimensions and soldering capability before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much current can the USB 3.0 Type-A pins handle continuously before voltage drop becomes an issue?

The connector is rated for USB 3.0 Super-Speed 5Gbps, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed 480Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed 1.5Mbps signalling; sustained current capability depends on the wire gauge you solder into the 6.0mm cable.

Does the aluminium alloy shell get hot enough to burn fingers during all-day data transfers?

The aluminium alloy shell is designed to protect the plug and improve signal integrity; it does not act as a heatsink, so temperature rise follows the cable’s own load and ambient conditions.

What tools and cable stock must I have on hand before I can assemble a working plug?

You need a 6.0mm OD USB 3.0 cable, a soldering iron, solder and a small screwdriver for the screw nut; the package supplies the connector, top cover, bottom cover and screw nut only.
