With 5G, quick charging, wireless charging and AI technologies, consumer devices have become more complex. BM55 allows added levels of design flexibility resulting in critical space-savings. With 5A current, the power contacts have a breakage preventing multi-point metal lock design. The hybrid power and signal design fulfils the role of two connectors.
