Appropriate USB Connector use - What does USB-IF say?

by Avnet Employee IPandEguy on ‎08-12-2010 07:52 AM

It appears that more and more OEMs are using USB connectors in non-USB applications.  I am sure people see low-cost, widely available connectors as being alternatives for their specific uses.  However, this can cause reliability issues and confusion in the marketplace.

 

If someone sees a USB connector and they get RS-232 or Etherrnet, not very good.  Notice what the USB-IF says on the topic.  Very interesting . . .  Comments?
