BACK-TO-BACK PCB USB CONNECTOR

摘要

A double-sided USB connector (201) may include a first PCB (40) that may provide a first set of electrical contacts (42) on its first side and solder pads on its second side. The first PCB may further include a components side, solder pads, and signal traces. The double-sided USB connector (201) may also include a second PCB (38) that may provide a second set of electrical contacts (35) on its first side and terminals (46) on its second side. Contacts selected from the second set of contacts (35) may be connected to selected terminals (46),.for example through via paths in the second PCB (38). Contacts from the first and second sets of contacts (42, 35) may selectively be connected to components on the first PCB (48) using signal traces rather than wires. The first PCB (40) may be joined to the second PCB (38) by using the terminals (46), and the two PCBs (40, 38) may be packaged using a common molded body.
