Overview
The 2171790001 is a compact USB Type-C receptacle designed for USB 2.0 data rates. It features a hybrid mounting configuration with surface-mount signal contacts and through-hole shell tabs for increased mechanical stability on the PCB. This connector supports up to 5A of current, making it suitable for both data transfer and Power Delivery applications.
Why Choose This Part
This connector combines the space-saving benefits of SMT signal pins with the mechanical robustness of through-hole shell legs to prevent pad lifting. The 10,000-cycle mating durability ensures long-term reliability in consumer and industrial environments. It also utilizes a simplified 16-pin (16 signal + 8 dummy) layout optimized for USB 2.0 implementations to reduce routing complexity.
