Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 6-pin USB-C receptacle compatible with standard USB-C cables?
Yes. Despite having only 6 pins (optimized for power and CC communication), the physical port is fully intermateable with standard 24-pin and 16-pin USB Type-C male cable plugs.
What is the maximum power capacity this connector can handle?
This receptacle is rated for 5.0A and 20V DC, enabling it to support up to 100W of Power Delivery (PD). It is an excellent choice for fast-charging hardware applications.
Does this connector support high-speed data transfer or video output?
No. The 6-pin layout eliminates the high-speed TX/RX data pins to save PCB space and reduce costs. It is engineered specifically for charge-only devices or extremely basic low-speed connectivity.
Are your connectors RoHS compliant and suitable for automated assembly?
Absolutely. All our OEM electronic components are fully RoHS and REACH compliant. This SMT connector features high-temperature plastic suitable for reflow soldering and is available in Tape & Reel packaging for high-speed automated pick-and-place manufacturing.
What is the standard lead time and MOQ for factory-direct orders?
Standard manufacturing lead times range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the production volume. Please submit a request for a quote (RFQ) with your target volume for specific Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) and tier pricing.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview The EU06FB3N11318SR is a robust, 6-pin USB Type-C surface-mount (SMT) receptacle engineered specifically for power-centric OEM applications. By stripping away redundant data pins, this top-mount connector offers a highly cost-effective and simplified PCB footprint while still delivering a robust 5A current and 20V voltage rating (up to 100W Power Delivery). Factory-manufactured to stringent industry standards, it features a high-temperature UL94 V-0 rated housing, inner shell grounding stakes, and 3,000-cycle durability. It is the ideal drop-in solution for modern electronic devices requiring streamlined, reliable Type-C charging capabilities without the overhead of full-featured data integration.
Application Notes
-
Ensure precise solder paste application and reflow profiling for the 6 SMT contacts to prevent bridging, given the condensed 1.00mm pitch layout.
-
PCB layout must accommodate the structural through-hole grounding stakes (inner shell stakes) to guarantee mechanical retention and reduce stress on the SMT pads during cable insertion/extraction.
-
This simplified 6-pin configuration supports VBUS, GND, and CC pins. It is intended strictly for charge-only applications or basic device integrations, and does not support full-featured USB 3.x data transfer or DisplayPort Alt Mode.
-
Standard mating face lead-in tolerances apply; verify that the device enclosure aligns concentrically with the receptacle opening to minimize off-angle insertion wear.
