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 is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
USB-C
A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
VBUS
A label often used for the main bus or supply voltage being measured or distributed on a board. Knowing what VBUS refers to helps you wire the monitor to the correct point in the circuit, especially for high-side measurements.
