A pack of 10 USB-C jack connectors designed for power-only applications. These sturdy metal connectors feature four through-hole mounting tabs that make them extremely difficult to rip off a PCB. They also work in SMT reflow — just paste over the through-hole slots and the pads solder in place.

With only power pins broken out (no D+ or D- data lines), these connectors are simpler to solder and more affordable than full USB-C jacks. Perfect for upgrading your project's power input to the USB-C standard.

Key Features

  • Power Only – 2× ground, 2× VBUS, CC1, and CC2 pins (no data lines)
  • Sturdy Mounting – 4 through-hole tabs for secure PCB attachment
  • SMT/THM Compatible – Works with both reflow and hand soldering
  • Standard USB-C – Accepts any USB-C cable for 5V power
  • Pack of 10 – Plenty for multiple projects
Tip: To use as a 5V power input, connect ground and VBUS to your circuit, then tie two 5.1kΩ resistors from CC1 and CC2 to ground (one resistor per pin). This tells the USB-C host to supply 5V.

Ideal For

  • Upgrading projects from barrel jack or Micro USB to USB-C power
  • Custom PCB designs requiring USB-C power input
  • Low-cost power connector for DIY electronics

Package Contents

  • 10× USB-C SMT/THM jack connectors (power only)

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.
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.
VBUS
VBUS is a label for a bus or supply voltage. Most commonly it is the +5V power line carried over USB, though on power-monitoring hardware it instead marks the bus-voltage input being measured, so check which sense applies before connecting power or a measurement point.
