Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for this OEM USB-C receptacle?
Our standard MOQ for this specific mid-mount receptacle is typically 1,000 pieces (one reel), but we are fully equipped to offer flexible pilot run quantities for your initial prototype validation and engineering builds.
Can this 16-pin connector handle USB 3.2 Gen 2 data speeds?
No, the 16-pin configuration is purpose-built and optimized for USB 2.0 data transmission and high-current Power Delivery (PD) up to 5A. For USB 3.1/3.2 SuperSpeed applications, a full 24-pin Type-C connector is required.
Is the housing material suitable for automated reflow soldering?
Yes, the connector housing is molded from high-temperature Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) rated UL94V-0, making it completely compatible with standard lead-free SMT reflow soldering profiles.
How is the product packaged for manufacturing?
All our SMT connectors are supplied in EIA-standard tape and reel packaging with pick-and-place caps, ready for seamless integration into your high-speed automated SMT assembly lines.
What quality standards do your electronic components meet?
Our ISO-certified facility manufactures all connectors in strict compliance with RoHS and REACH directives. Our production and inspection processes also align with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards to ensure uncompromised reliability.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview: Factory-direct, robust USB Type-C 16-pin female receptacle designed for space-constrained OEM applications. Featuring a mid-mount (sink-board) and single-row SMT design, this connector ensures an ultra-low profile on the PCB while providing reliable power delivery (up to 5A on VBUS) and standard USB 2.0 data transmission. Manufactured to strict industry standards with a 10,000-mating-cycle durability, it is the ideal cost-effective and high-quality solution for consumer electronics, handheld terminals, and industrial equipment requiring dependable charging interfaces.
Application Notes:
-
Ensure precision routing for the PCB cutout dimensions to accommodate the mid-mount design and maintain structural integrity.
-
Optimize solder paste application and stencil thickness for the single-row SMT pins to prevent solder bridging during reflow.
-
Route high-current VBUS traces with sufficient copper weight and width to safely handle the maximum 5A current rating.
-
Implement adequate EMI shielding around the connector shell if the end device operates in high-noise environments.
