New power-only USB Type C receptacle delivers power up to 100W

CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has added to its line of power-only USB Type C connectors. The UJC-HP-G-SMT-TR is an eight-pin USB Type C receptacle offering the full 100W of power delivery supported by USB Type C with its 5A current rating and 20VDC voltage rating. The previously released UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR was a six-pin, 60W version with 3A and 20VDC ratings, respectively. By removing the data transfer pins, this receptacle is a more cost-effective answer for designs where charging or power is the exclusive function.

The connector is housed in a surface-mount package while offering high reliability up to 10,000 mating cycles, an operating temperature range from -25C to 85C, and reflow solder compatibility. This power-only USB Type C receptacle can also mate with any standard USB Type C plug, further adding to its accessibility and simplified design integration.
