When designing VFLEX, here are some of the requirements that we considered
- Low cost
- High Retention Force
- Durable
- Capable of 5A current with low contact resistance
- Small Size
- Easy mechanical integration with plastics
- Stack height that is coplanar with USB-C
- Surface Mount assembly
- Endure high temperatures during manufacturing
- Overmold-ability for Mating connector
After evaluating many connectors, there really was not something available that was simple and met all of these criteria. This was the genesis for our X-Connector. It solves all of these problems in a very elegant way.
