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.
