What is BS EN 62680-2-2 – Specification of micro-USB cables and connectors about?
BS EN 62680 series discusses standards for universal serial bus interfaces for data and power.
BS EN 62680-2-2 is the second sub-part of the second part of the multiple series that focuses on cell phones and portable devices that have become so thin that the current Mini-USB does not fit well within the constraints of the future designs.
BS EN 62680-2-2 focuses on requirements for a more rugged connector that will have durability past 10 000 cycles and still meet the USB 2.0 specification for mechanical and electrical performance was also a consideration.
Note: The Mini-USB could not be modified and remain backwards compatible with the existing connector as defined in the USB OTG specification.
