Frequently Asked Questions
What USB standard and data speeds does this 16-pin elevated receptacle support?
This receptacle features a 16-pin layout supporting standard USB 2.0 data transfer (up to 480 Mbps) along with CC/SBU pins and dedicated power pins supporting up to 5A / 20V (100W) USB Power Delivery (PD).
What is the primary benefit of the 4.3mm elevated top-mount design?
The 4.3mm height elevation raises the mating center line (CH=5.90mm) above the PCB plane, accommodating thick chassis walls and allowing engineers to route traces or place low-profile SMT components directly underneath.
Are the shell grounding tabs surface-mount or through-hole?
The receptacle utilizes a full surface-mount (SMT) anchoring structure with dual outer shell solder tabs (solder points) and locating pegs to provide high mechanical stability without through-hole PCB drilling.
Can EDOM Electronics provide custom variations of this connector?
As a direct factory and OEM/ODM provider, we can modify plating thicknesses (e.g., standard gold flash to heavy gold for harsher environments) or adjust packaging methods based on your volume requirements.
What is the maximum power this 16-pin connector can handle?
Based on its 5A and 20V rating, it is capable of safely handling up to 100W of power, making it fully suitable for standard USB Power Delivery (PD) applications up to that threshold.
Overview and Application Notes
-
Overview: Engineered for demanding OEM and industrial applications, the EU16F2B3N11413SR is a 16-pin USB Type-C receptacle featuring a specialized 4.3mm elevated top-mount configuration (CH=5.90mm). This raised profile provides crucial PCB-to-port clearance for thick-walled device enclosures, customized front panels, or bottom-side component routing. Built with a robust stainless steel shell (dual solder tab design) and high-conductivity gold-plated copper alloy contacts, it reliably supports up to 5A current and 20V DC power delivery alongside standard USB 2.0 data transfer. Featuring a tested durability of 10,000 mating cycles and a UL 94V-0 compliant high-temperature LCP housing, this connector provides a dependable, factory-direct I/O solution for power-intensive and ruggedized hardware.

Application Notes:
-
PCB Footprint & Shell Anchoring: Ensure the PCB layout accurately matches the outer shell solder tabs and SMT contact pad pitches as defined in engineering drawing EU16F2B3N11413SR to guarantee robust mechanical retention and solder joint integrity.
-
IR Reflow Soldering: The high-temperature thermoplastic (LCP) housing withstands standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles. Maintain peak board temperature at 260°C for a maximum of 10 seconds.
-
Mechanical & EMI Shielding: Solder the outer shell tabs completely to the board ground plane to ensure optimal EMI/RFI shielding and absorb user mating stress, protecting the surface-mount signal contacts.
-
Enclosure & Standoff Alignment: The connector features a 4.3mm elevation height (L=8.0mm, CH=5.90mm). Incorporate these exact height dimensions into your industrial enclosure design to achieve seamless port alignment and flush cable insertion.
