USB 2.0 Type A

Hello All,

Does anyone know typically what efficiency can be seen in current pass through a USB 2.0 or 3.0 Type A PCB receptacle? Say for example you max out the potential for a USB 2.0 type A at the specified 2.5 Watts. What would be considered the thermal losses of the pass through the receptacle? Could it be negligible, or is it a significant factor? This is being used for a thermal analysis of an electronics enclosure.

Thank you,

JA

RE: USB 2.0 Type A

Should be negligible.

Only for the most critical applications would you even bother to double check this assumption by looking up the contact resistance.
