Overview

The 2129691-1 is a 24-position USB Type-C receptacle from TE Connectivity designed for USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance. This connector features a mid-mount, board-edge configuration with a hybrid surface-mount and through-hole termination style to provide a low profile and high mechanical stability.

Why Choose This Part

The hybrid termination (SMT and Through-Hole) offers superior peel strength compared to pure SMT designs, while the 10,000-cycle durability ensures longevity in high-use environments. Its mid-mount orientation is ideal for designs where vertical space is constrained and the connector must be centered on the PCB edge.

Applications

High-Speed Data Storage
Utilizing USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds for external SSDs and high-capacity flash drives.
Thin Consumer Electronics
Mid-mount design allows the connector to sit lower in the PCB, enabling thinner profiles for tablets and ultrabooks.
Charging Ports
Supports up to 5A current rating for USB Power Delivery applications in portable devices.
