What is BS EN 62680-2 – Micro-USB cables and connections specification about?
BS EN 62680-2 series discusses standards for universal serial bus interfaces for data and power.
BS EN 62680-2 is the second part of the multiple series that focuses on the cell phone and Portable Devices have become so thin that the current Mini-USB does not fit well within the constraints of future designs. Additional 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 1: The Mini-USB could not be modified and remain backwards compatible with the existing connector as defined in the USB OTG specification.
Note 2: BS EN 62680-2 is not a stand-alone document. Any aspects of USB that are not specifically changed by BS EN 62680-2 specifications are governed by the USB 2.0 Specification and USB On-The-Go Supplement.
Who is BS EN 62680-2 - Micro-USB cables and connections specification for?
BS EN 62680-2 on USB battery charging is useful for:
- IT firms/software engineers
- IT automation industries
- USB technology operators
- Hardware manufacturers
- USB device manufacturers
- Hardware/software engineers
- Product development teams
Why should you use BS EN 62680-2 - Micro-USB cables and connections specification?
USB has become a popular interface for exchanging data between cell phones and portable devices. Many of these devices have become so small that it is impossible to use standard USB components.
BS EN 62680-2 defines the requirements and features of a Micro-USB connector that will help you to meet the current and future needs of the Cell Phone and Portable Devices markets, while conforming to the USB 2.0 specification for performance, physical size and shape of the Micro-USB interconnect.
Overall, BS EN 62680-2 specifies the mechanical and electrical properties of cables, connectors, and cable assemblies used to link devices, as well as design limits for Micro-A and Micro-B plug over molding.
