Tyco Electronics has introduced a USB 3.0 connector, which meets all standards of USB-IF.

It supports 5Gbit/s data rate for fast sync-n-go, representing a x10 performance increase over USB 2.0.

The USB 3.0 connector is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and allows for the unit load of 150mA (which is a 50% increase over the minimum unit load of USB 2.0) up to six unit loads (which is 900mA, an 80% increase over USB 2.0 at a registered maximum of 500mA).
