Würth Elektronik USB 3.1 Type-C SMT connector

Würth Elektronik has expanded its USB-C range with a 24-pin fully-configured horizontal receptacle for SMT assembly. The USB 3.1 Type-C connector features a high-rise design and allows complete visual control of soldering due to its two rows each with 12 contacts. As a fully equipped Type-C connector, it is not only compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 signalling and USB Power Delivery standards, but can also be used for alternative and accessory modes. This includes transmitting analog signals via the (D+/D-) pins.

The connector is designed for at least 10,000 mating cycles and operating temperatures from -40 to +120°C. Both the pin contacts and the outer retaining pins of the shielding are gold-plated in the contact zone to provide an optimised connection to the PCB. The stable receptacle is suitable for all consumer and IT applications that are designed to exploit the options provided by the USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 standard in terms of data and power transfer. The latest member of the USB product family is now available from stock without a minimum order quantity, and developers can order free samples.
