USB Side-Flange Mount Jacks with 24" Wire Leads Provide Unique Mounting Options

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – December 2, 2011 – L-com, Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of wired and wireless connectivity products, has introduced a new USB mounting option with its new UPMA-LEADS and UPMB-LEADS part numbers.  These items use a side-flange to mount the USB jack, and provide 24” long wire leads for custom wiring through panels or enclosures.

L-com has long carried a popular line of “ECJ” style USB jacks for mounting with a flange that extends above and below the connector.  The new jacks provide mounting options for product designs where there is not enough room above or below the jack to mount the connector. They also come with longer leads than the previous styles, and mounting hardware is included.

“We created these new products in response to the increasing demand for designing in USB connectivity to OEM, military, and aerospace equipment,” said Steve Smith, Product Manager. “Our superior manufacturing capabilities allow us to offer our customers more off-the-shelf options for this demand.”

The new jacks will be stocked in North America so they can ship the same day as orders are placed. They will feature 30 microinch gold plating on contacts, 24 AWG UL1007 style tinned copper leads, with one lead connected to the jack shell for shield draining. Engineering drawings and 3D CAD models are available for free on the L-com web site.
