Overview

The CX90B-16P1 is a high-durability USB Type-C receptacle from Hirose, optimized for USB 2.0 applications. It features a robust 16-pin layout with a hybrid surface mount and through-hole mounting design to provide superior mechanical stability on the PCB. Rated for 10,000 mating cycles, this connector is designed for high-use consumer and industrial interfaces where reliability is critical.

Why Choose This Part

The hybrid mounting style uses surface mount pads for electrical signals and through-hole leads for the shell, offering exceptional resistance to torque and cable strain. With a rating of 1.25A and 48V, it supports standard power delivery profiles while maintaining a compact horizontal profile.

Applications

Industrial Handheld Devices
Provides a ruggedized USB charging and data interface for mobile scanners and diagnostic tools requiring high insertion cycle counts.
Consumer Electronics
Standardized charging port for battery-powered devices that do not require the high-speed data lanes of USB 3.1/4.0.
Embedded Systems Interfaces
Acts as a primary debug or configuration port on custom PCB assemblies where mechanical retention is a priority.
