A customer has asked us to solder a surface mount mini USB connector to a board. They need the connector housing to center on an opening in a plastic panel. The question is how much does the solder process add to the overall height of the coonctor, e

We have a customer who is using a standard USB Type A Connector on their assemblies. They don't want to add a housing to the assembly, but want to shield the metal USB connector housing from potential shorting with surrounding electronics within thei

Hi, I really don't understand your customers (or yours for that matter) problem with the shield - shorting? Please explain in more detail. Placing a tape seems to me to be the worst thing you can do, in terms of life-time. In what type of applicatio
