USB Type-C connector offers space reduction by minimised length and mid-mount design

Stocked by Digi-Key, Hirose's CX70 is a USB Type-C connector with a mid-mount USB 3.1 efficient design that offers a compact footprint to save valuable PCB space. Featuring a depth of only 8.35mm, the shorter design allows additional PCB space for optimising antenna design and/or frees up space for increased battery capacity. The hybrid series simplifies retrofit and repair operations by utilising both SMT and through-hole soldering. The hybrid design also facilitates automated optical inspection and eases reworking of the solder terminal joints with a visible lead design. As a USB 3.1 Type-C connector, it features a symmetrical mating design that allows for reversible plug insertion. The mid-mount, 24-position, has a rating of 5A for a total of 100W of power.
