Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this USB 3.1 Type-C receptacle?
As a factory-direct OEM/ODM provider, our standard MOQ is typically 1,000 to 5,000 pieces per tape and reel. However, we offer flexible sampling and pilot-run quantities for engineering evaluations and new designs.
Can this 16-pin connector handle fast charging applications?
Yes. The connector is engineered to support up to 5A on the VBUS pins, making it fully capable of handling up to 100W (20V/5A) Power Delivery (PD) requirements for fast-charging devices.
Do you offer custom tape and reel packaging for automated assembly?
Absolutely. Our SMT connectors come standard in EIA-compliant tape and reel packaging optimized for automated pick-and-place machines. We can also adjust packaging specifications based on your specific SMT line requirements.
What certifications do your electronic connectors hold?
Our USB connectors are fully RoHS and REACH compliant, and they are manufactured within an ISO 9001-certified facility. Each batch undergoes strict automated optical inspection (AOI) and mechanical durability testing.
What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
Standard production lead times are typically 2 to 4 weeks depending on the volume. For urgent project timelines, we offer expedited production schedules and rapid prototyping options within 3 to 5 days.
Overview and Application Notes
-
Overview: The EU16F2B3N11377SR is a highly reliable USB 3.1 Type-C 16-pin female receptacle engineered for robust PCB top-mount applications. Designed with a 6.5mm shell stake and precision surface-mount technology (SMT), this connector delivers excellent mechanical stability and high-speed signal integrity. Manufactured in our ISO-certified facility, it supports up to 5A current on VBUS, making it an ideal factory-direct solution for OEMs and distributors seeking cost-effective, high-performance connectivity for consumer electronics, industrial interfaces, and custom IoT devices.

Application Notes:
-
Reflow Soldering: Ensure temperature profiling adheres strictly to standard lead-free SMT processes (UL94V-0 LCP housing) to prevent thermal deformation.
-
PCB Layout: Verify coplanarity of all 16 SMT pins and the 6.5mm shell stakes; allocate sufficient keep-out zones around the top-mount footprint for automated placement.
-
EMI/RFI Shielding: Properly solder and ground the outer stainless-steel shell to the PCB ground plane to minimize electromagnetic interference during high-speed data transmission.
-
Mechanical Retention: While the 6.5mm tail length provides enhanced shear resistance, supplementary panel-mounting brackets or overmolding are recommended for high-stress, frequent-insertion environments.
