Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard MOQ for this USB Type-C receptacle?
Our standard MOQ for factory-direct bulk orders is typically 1,000 pieces per tape-and-reel. However, we offer flexible prototype quantities (e.g., 500 pieces) to support your New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
Does this connector fully support USB Power Delivery (PD) up to 240W?
Yes, it is rated for 48V DC and a 5A current capacity on the VBUS pins, making it fully compatible with the USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) specification for 240W charging.
Are there custom plating options available for the contacts?
Absolutely. While standard gold flash is provided, our factory can apply heavier gold plating (e.g., 15µ" or 30µ") for environments that require enhanced corrosion resistance and extreme mating durability.
What compliance and certifications do your connectors meet?
Our USB-C receptacles are manufactured in ISO-certified facilities and fully comply with RoHS and REACH directives. They are also designed to meet the rigorous IPC/WHMA-A-620 criteria for electronic assemblies.
What is the typical lead time for bulk production?
Standard lead times range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on order volume and raw material availability. For urgent engineering needs, rapid prototyping and sampling can be completed in 3-5 days.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview Engineered for robust power delivery and high-speed data transfer, this 24-pin USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C top mount receptacle is an essential component for modern electronic designs. Featuring a surface-mount configuration with integrating locating pegs for precise PCB alignment, it reliably supports Extended Power Range (EPR) up to 240W (48V/5A) and ensures longevity with a rating of 10,000 mating cycles. As a factory-direct OEM solution, EDOM Electronics provides unparalleled manufacturing scalability, strict quality control, and custom connectivity support tailored to your specific hardware requirements.
Application Notes
-
Ensure precise coplanarity during the SMT reflow process to prevent solder bridging across the 24 high-density contact pins.
-
Utilize the built-in locating pegs for mechanical stability to significantly reduce shear stress on the solder joints during end-user mating and unmating.
-
For high-power 240W (EPR) applications, verify that the PCB thermal management design can adequately dissipate the heat generated at the VBUS and GND contacts.
-
Maintain appropriate clearance around the receptacle shell to prevent physical interference with external enclosures or oversized mating plugs.
