Filtered and ESD protected USB connectors are available in a variety of configurations and protection values. The current standard SCI product is a Type A style of socket connector. These are available in a through hole or surface mount termination design. The connectors have integrated chip capacitor filters or ESD suppressors, and are a drop-in replacement for standard unfiltered connectors. The connectors have capacitive filter values ranging from 10pF to 1000pF. ESD protection uses Little fuse components to offer ESD protection without added capacitance. These connectors will meet the latest USB 2.0 specifications. Custom filter values and configurations are also available.
