Overview

The USB4215-03-A is a high-durability USB 2.0 Type-C receptacle designed with a short body profile for space-constrained PCB designs. It features a 16-pin horizontal SMT configuration with through-hole solder tabs for enhanced mechanical retention. Rated for 20,000 mating cycles and a 5A current, it provides a robust power and data interface for modern hardware.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers exceptional longevity with 20,000 mating cycles, significantly exceeding the 10,000 cycles typical of standard Type-C connectors. Its hybrid mounting style combines SMT signal pins for easy assembly with through-hole shield tabs for superior resistance to cable strain. Additionally, the 5A current rating allows for rapid charging applications up to 48VDC.

Applications

Portable Consumer Electronics
Ideal for compact devices requiring high power delivery and standard USB 2.0 data rates in a small footprint.
Industrial Handhelds
Used in ruggedized equipment that demands high mating cycle durability for frequent charging and data syncing.
USB Power Delivery (PD) Ports
Suitable for power-only or USB 2.0 power delivery applications due to its 5A current and 48VDC ratings.
IoT Gateways
Provides a modern Type-C interface for configuration and power in a right-angle, low-profile form factor.
