Zhang Wujun, the R&D director of Kinghelm, introduced that traditional keyboards generally use wired connections, which have more stable data transmission and higher transmission rates, but are relatively bulky and inconvenient to use. Currently, many manufacturers have launched dual-mode mechanical keyboards, which support both wired and wireless connections. This solves both the stability of data transmission and the convenience of use. The keyboard will have a built-in lithium battery. When the keyboard is connected wirelessly, the lithium battery will supply power to the keyboard. When the keyboard is connected via wire, the computer will charge the lithium battery and handle the data transmission. So, what kind of connector is suitable for this situation? Kinghelm Electronics has launched the KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector which is perfect for dual-mode mechanical keyboards, and has a maximum data transmission speed of 10Gbit/s.

The traditional serial and parallel port connectors have obvious drawbacks, such as slow transmission speed and prone to data transfer errors. The emergence of USB connectors has overcome these shortcomings. The USB Type-C connector has faster data transfer speed and can respond to user operations more quickly. The USB Type-C connector has no direction limitation, which avoids connection instability caused by reverse insertion. USB Type-C also has faster charging speed and can transmit data and power simultaneously through one cable, making it a win-win solution.

I solemnly recommend the KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector launched by Kinghelm Electronics to electronic engineers. The rated contact current of this connector can reach up to 3 amps, and its rated voltage can reach a maximum of 30V. Its operating temperature ranges from -40℃ to +85℃. The typical USB interface voltage of a notebook computer is generally 5V, and the working environment temperature of a dual-mode mechanical keyboard is usually room temperature, so this connector is very suitable for use in dual-mode mechanical keyboards.

Gaming enthusiasts are extremely sensitive to operating delays, and higher data transfer speeds mean that the system can respond to users' operations on the dual-mode mechanical keyboard faster, which is crucial for user experience.

The KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector from Kinghelm is designed to be reversible, completely solving the problem of unstable connections caused by single-sided insertion. Additionally, this connector can withstand up to 10,000 repeated insertions and removals, providing reliable performance for users who frequently connect and disconnect their dual-mode mechanical keyboards. With an expected lifespan of nearly 7 years based on an average of 4 insertions and removals per day, this connector is highly durable. The KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector's Type-C receptacle is capable of supplying up to 100W of power with a current of 3A, making fast charging possible. This allows users to quickly charge their keyboards, saving time and avoiding the problem of low battery when using the keyboard in wireless mode.

Kinghelm's KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector is also available in a dimensional drawing for reference

Mechanical keyboards using Kinghelm's KH-TYPE-C-16P USB connector offer faster data transfer speeds, more stable connections, longer lifetimes, and faster charging speeds. The advantages of using this connector provide a more convenient and efficient user experience, resulting in overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Currently, Kinghelm has become one of the rapidly developing electronic information industry enterprises in China. Under the leadership of Mr. Song Shiqiang in 2022, Kinghelm Electronics continued to grow steadily and expand despite adverse conditions. The company specializes in the research and development of products such as Beidou GPS antennas and connectors, and the range of products is continuously increasing, with a further expansion of market share. In the future, the company will actively promote the "domestic substitution" of electronic components, providing solutions to problems such as technical blockades from foreign companies for the country. Mr. Song Shiqiang's subsidiary, SlkorMicro Semicon Co., Ltd. (www.slkormicro.com), is also developing rapidly, committed to becoming a "leader in domestic semiconductor enterprises".
