San Jose, CA - Kycon introduces a new innovation in USB connector design with the release of two new series of low-profile products. Available in single and stacked styles, the KUSBL-SMT and KUSBL provide dramatic space-saving benefits to designers of computer laptop and desktop systems, as well as peripherals such as keyboards, scanners, and USB hubs. The low-profile design lowers the profile height of the connector above the surface of the Printed Circuit Board, allowing for the PCB to be mounted in a thinner chassis or closer to the other components or PCBs. The single-port KUSBL-SMT enables space savings of up to 64% using surface mount technology, while the stacked KUSBL provides a 31% space savings using a through hole design. Both provide equipment designers with new opportunities for achieving lower-profile system designs with height reductions up to 5mm when using these new Kycon components.

Both the KUSBL-SMT and KUSBL are fully compliant with USB 2.0. Both styles are available in standard gold flash or 30µ" gold contact plating and the KUSBL-SMT is also available in tape and reel.
