Description
Overview
Loose USB Type-C plugs and receptacles for building or repairing your own cable ends and board inputs. The range runs from 14-pin and 16-pin female sockets up to 17-pin male and 24-pin female parts, in PCB-mount and wire-solder forms.
Specifications
- Contacts: 14-pin, 16-pin, 17-pin, 24-pin
- Gender: male plug and female receptacle
- Termination: PCB mount or solder-wire, with 5 or 8 solder joints
- Power variant: 7-pin rated 100 W at 20 V 5 A
- Standards: USB 3.1 on the 17-pin male, USB 3.0 on the Type-C male
- Combined option: 5-core cable with a 16-pin connector
Purpose
A worn receptacle or snapped cable end usually scraps the whole device. Buying the connector alone lets you reterminate it, and the pin counts mean a charging-only job need not pay for SuperSpeed lanes it will never use.
Applications
- Replacing a loose phone charging socket
- Custom-length Type-C cables
- Converting a micro-USB dev board to Type-C
- Repairing dock and hub inputs
How to Use
- Pick the pin count: 24-pin for full USB 3.1, fewer for power and USB 2.0.
- Offer the part up before soldering to confirm orientation.
- Flux and tin the pads, then solder the shell and ground pins first.
- Caution: 100 W is the connector ceiling – the source and cable must support 20 V 5 A before that current flows.
- Inspect every pin for bridges and tug the shell to test retention.
