A pack of 10 edge-launch USB Type-C SMT plug connectors for custom PCB designs. Each connector mounts to the edge of a board via surface-mount pads and plugs directly into a USB-C port — ideal for creating compact, plug-in devices.
Key Features
- Type – USB Type-C plug (male), edge-launch
- Mounting – Surface mount (SMT) with 4 mechanical tabs
- Profile – Low profile, hugs the PCB edge
- Quantity – 10 per pack
Ideal For
- Custom USB-C plug-in devices and dongles
- Compact PCB designs that plug directly into a USB-C port
- Upgrading projects to USB Type-C
Tip: Use plenty of solder on the four SMT mechanical tabs to ensure a secure connection, as they are not as robust as through-hole mounting tabs.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
- Type-C
- USB Type-C (USB-C) is a small, reversible USB connector used for charging, power, and data transfer on many modern devices. A Type-C port or plug indicates the cable and charger connection needed to power, charge, or communicate with a device.
- USB Type-C
- USB Type-C is a small, reversible USB connector used for power, data and sometimes video on many modern devices. The connector itself does not guarantee a particular speed or voltage, so check the supported USB version, data rate and whether it carries more than 5V via USB Power Delivery.
- USB-C
- USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
