Stan's Notebook: Hold Your USB Connections Together

The world is fast adopting USB as a useful, cost-effective connectivity tool. But, one issue slowing acceptance is the connector itself. Without a strong retention mechanism, USB has been deemed inadequate for many industrial applications. Manufacturers have responded with proprietary connectors or cables featuring a custom thumbscrew. While this attempts to address the problem, it adds cost and size. Worse yet, it requires the purchase of a custom USB cable that you certainly won’t find at your local electronics store when stuck on a job site.

Here at B&B Electronics we’ve got a more elegant solution. On most products we are incorporating a high-retention Type B USB connector. This interface meets Class1Div2 minimum withdrawal requirements of 15 N. You can rest assured that your USB connections will hold together in those demanding applications!

USB Isolators

The world's most compact USB isolators

USB Isolator This product will draw power from the upstream USB port, eliminiating the need for an additional power supply. Conveniently connect this device in line with no need to purchase additional accessories. The Power LED will light when the product is actively receiving power from the Upstream USB port. Isolation designed to protect both your PC and expensive equipment Extremely compact design,2.0 x 1.7 x .08 inches. No problems carrying this little guy to the job site. These high retention USB connectors offer 50% more pull strength than conventional USB ports. Minimum withdrawal strength of 15 Newtons

At just 2.0 x 1.7 x 0.8 inches, these little isolators pack a powerful punch against electrical noise, surges and spikes - up to 4kV isolation. Protect expensive PCs and equipment from damaging electrical storms, power surges and other high EMI/RFI disturbances. This isolation barrier eliminates ground loops which are disruptive in measurement applications. Models UH401and UH401SL provide 4kV isolation and are UL 60601-1 Recognized, making them appropriate for use with medical equipment.

UH401-2KV and UH401SL-2KV provide 2kV isolation.

All models are USB bus powered and provide up to 100mA of current to attached downstream devices when they are attached to a full power (500 mA) USB host port.

They comply with the USB 1.1 standard and transfer data at 12Mbps or 1.5 Mbps. These data rates are preconfigured at the factory. You should select a model that is appropriate for your USB peripheral (low speed or full speed).

Four models are available to choose from. Select a low speed version, UH401SL or UH401SL-2KV if you are using a low speed device. Low speed devices are typically human interface devices such as a mouse or keyboard. Use the full speed version, UH401 or UH401-2KV for full speed USB devices.
