Overview

The USB4970-00-A is a 6-pin USB Type-C receptacle designed specifically for power-only applications and basic charging circuits. It features a horizontal, top-mount orientation with a hybrid mounting system that utilizes SMT contacts and through-hole stakes for superior mechanical retention. This connector is rated for 3A and 48VDC, making it an efficient choice for modern device power delivery.

Why Choose This Part

This 6-pin configuration simplifies PCB routing by removing high-speed data pins while maintaining USB-C physical compatibility. The combination of SMT leads and through-hole shells ensures the connector can withstand high insertion forces and frequent use. Its 48VDC rating provides a significant safety margin for standard 5V or 12V charging applications.

Applications

Power-Only IoT Devices
Ideal for smart sensors and IoT nodes that require USB-C charging without the complexity of data lines.
Battery Powered Handhelds
Used in portable electronics needing a high-durability charging port rated for 10000 mating cycles.
Industrial Power Interfaces
Suitable for 48VDC power input stages in industrial equipment where robust mechanical attachment is required.
