USB Type-C Connectors

Choose the Right Configuration

Pick the Function You Need

Choose from 6-, 16-, and 24-position configurations for charging, USB 2.0 data, or high-speed applications. Full-featured models can carry data, power, and optional audio/video through one port when supported by the complete system.

Fit the Connector to Your PCB

Top-mount, mid-mount, vertical, and flag-mount styles are available for different PCB layouts. Check the selected model’s drawing to confirm its footprint, height, orientation, and mounting details.

Match Performance to Your System

From Charging to High-Speed Data

Options range from power-only receptacles to full-featured data-and-power connectors. Select the model according to the data speed and power required by your application.

Check Compatibility Before Finalizing

Different models may be designed for USB 2.0, USB 3.2, or USB4 systems. Actual speed, backward compatibility, and adapter operation also depend on the host, device, controller, cable, and complete system.

Keep the Connection Stable

Reduce Interference and Improve PCB Retention

Shielded shells help reduce electromagnetic interference, while mechanical retention features keep the connector securely attached to the PCB. The exact design varies by model.

Choose the Right Environmental Protection

Splash-resistant and sealed configurations may be available for applications exposed to moisture or other environmental conditions. Confirm the IP rating, operating temperature, and durability of the selected model.

Move Easily from Selection to Production

Balance Cost, Quality, and Delivery

Integrated connector development and manufacturing help align product design, quality control, cost, and production requirements. Pricing and lead time depend on the selected model and order quantity.

Get Support with Drawings and Samples

Engineering support is available for product selection, technical drawings, samples, and application-specific requirements. Providing your PCB layout, performance targets, and expected order volume helps speed up the evaluation process.

How to Specify a Connector

Define Electrical and Performance Requirements

Start by confirming whether the application requires power-only operation, USB 2.0 data, or a qualified high-speed interface. Specify the target data rate, alternate-mode requirements, operating current, voltage, thermal conditions, and any system-level USB Power Delivery requirements.

Select the Connector Configuration

Choose between a plug and receptacle configuration. Define the required signals, contact assignment, and any application-specific pinout requirements to ensure the connector matches the intended circuit function.

Confirm PCB and Mechanical Compatibility

Specify the desired PCB position, mounting orientation, and termination method. Review the PCB thickness, connector stack height, footprint, keep-out area, and retention features to ensure correct mechanical integration.

Review Environmental and Project Requirements

Define the required shielding, sealing, operating temperature, durability, and compliance conditions. Provide available drawings, sample requirements, expected order volume, and other project information needed for technical evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every USB Type-C connector provide the same data rate?

No. USB Type-C identifies the connector interface, not a guaranteed protocol or speed. The supported data rate depends on the selected connector, implemented contacts, PCB design, controller, cable, and complete system.

Does a USB Type-C receptacle automatically support USB Power Delivery?

Which generic product type should I evaluate?

Can the connector alone provide video output?

How do I confirm PCB fit?
