Power-only USB Type C receptacle features vertical orientation

16-07-2021 | CUI Devices | Subs & Systems

CUI Devices continues the expansion of its power-only USB Type C receptacle line with the launch of a vertically-oriented model. The UJC-VP-3-SMT-TR joins the existing 60W UJC-HP-3-SMT-TR and 100W UJC-HP-G-SMT-TR, which both feature horizontal, surface-mount packages. By removing the data transfer pins, these USB Type C receptacles are a more cost-effective option for designs where charging or power is the single function.

Housed in a vertical, surface mount package, the device is a six-pin USB Type C receptacle that can provide up to 60W of power with a 3A current rating and 20VDC voltage rating. This vertical mount power-only USB Type C model is compatible with any standard USB Type C plug, using the accessibility and simplified design integration of the universal and broadly adopted Type C connection and utilising it for power-only applications. It further provides high reliability up to 10,000 mating cycles, reflow solder compatibility, and an operating temperature range from -25C to 85C.
