USB Type C 24 Pin Side Entry Female Connector

USB-C 24-Pin Side Entry Receptacle: Right Angle SMT with Hybrid Shell

The USB-C 24-Pin Side Entry Receptacle is an engineered solution for high-density PCB designs requiring a low vertical profile. Featuring a robust right-angle SMT (Surface Mount Technology) configuration and a hybrid shell for superior mechanical anchoring, this connector is built to handle both high-speed data transmission and high-power delivery in compact environments.

Key Features and Advantages

Choosing our high-speed 24-pin receptacle ensures your device meets the latest connectivity standards while maintaining structural integrity:

Space-Saving Design: The side-entry (horizontal) orientation allows the connector to sit flush with the PCB, minimizing the total height of your device enclosure.

High Current Capacity: Rated for 5.0A on Vbus pins, it fully supports fast-charging protocols for modern power-hungry electronics.

Hybrid Shell Stability: The combination of SMT pins and through-hole mechanical tabs (Hybrid Shell) provides exceptional resistance against insertion and extraction forces.

Industrial Durability: Tested for 10,000 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications.

USB-C 24-Pin Side Entry Receptacle (Hybrid Shell) — FAQ

Q1: What power ratings and fast-charging protocols does this receptacle support?

• A: This receptacle is designed with a high current rating of 5.0A for Vbus pins (and 1.25A for Vconn pins). Under the standard USB Power Delivery (PD) protocol, it is fully capable of supporting fast-charging requirements for smartphones, tablets, and other high-power portable electronics.

Q2: What is a “Hybrid Shell,” and what are its advantages?

• A: A hybrid shell design combines both Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT) on a single connector:

  • Signal Pins utilize SMT to allow high-density PCB routing and superior high-frequency signal integrity.

  • Shell Mechanical Tabs use through-hole pins to anchor firmly into the PCB. This combination provides exceptional resistance against heavy insertion/extraction forces and prevents the pads from ripping off during rough or angled plugging.

Q3: How does the Side Entry (Right Angle) design benefit mechanical layouts?

• A: The side-entry or horizontal orientation allows the connector to sit flush with or sink slightly into the PCB. This significantly reduces the total vertical height profile (Low Profile), making it the perfect choice for ultra-slim devices like thin laptops, handheld medical devices, and space-constrained IoT housings.

Q4: Does this 24-pin receptacle support USB4 or Thunderbolt speeds?

• A: This connector features a full 24-pin physical layout, meaning it has the hardware foundation to support high-speed data transmission (such as USB 3.2 Gen2, up to 10Gbps or more). However, actual high-speed performance depends heavily on your PCB layout, impedance control, and host controllers. Please contact our engineering team if you require specific high-frequency test reports (e.g., eye diagrams, attenuation data).

Q5: What materials are used, and what is the mechanical durability?

• A: Built for industrial-grade endurance, this connector is rated for 10,000 mating cycles.

  • Housing: High-temperature LCP (UL 94V-0 rated), fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering.

  • Contacts: Copper alloy with high-specification Gold Plating on the contact area to ensure low contact resistance ($\le 40\text{m}\Omega$) and long-term oxidation resistance.

  • Shell: Premium Stainless Steel, offering robust EMI/RFI shielding and physical protection.

Q6: What are the recommendations for the reflow soldering process?

• A: All materials used in this product are engineered to withstand high temperatures. We recommend a standard lead-free reflow profile with a peak temperature of approximately 260°C. Because this is a hybrid connector, utilizing a Pin-in-Paste (PIP) process or custom stencil step-up design is recommended to ensure optimal solder fillets on the through-hole mechanical tabs.

Q7: Is this product compliant with international environmental standards?

• A: Yes, absolutely. All USB-C connectors manufactured by Longyd are strictly compliant with RoHS and REACH directives. We can provide full material declaration sheets and compliance certificates upon request.

Q8: What technical files do you provide, and do you support custom modifications?

• A: We offer comprehensive engineering support, including:

  • 2D engineering drawings (PDF) and 3D models (STEP/IGS) for easy enclosure stacking.

  • Recommended PCB layout footprints.

  • Customization Options: We can customize the length of the shell solder tails to match your specific PCB thickness, or modify the gold plating thickness (e.g., Flash, 15μ”, 30μ”) according to your durability requirements.

Q9: What is the packaging, lead time, and Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

• A: Our standard packaging is Tape & Reel (TR) to support automated high-speed Pick-and-Place assembly lines. Standard specifications are typically kept in stock. For bulk production orders, the lead time is generally 2–3 weeks depending on the volume. Please contact our sales team for exact MOQ and tiered pricing quotes.
