USB-C Receptacle for USB 3.2 Gen 2, 24 Circuits, Shielded
The Amphenol FCI 10132328-10011LF is a USB-C (USB TYPE-C) receptacle with 24 contacts, designed for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) operation. This is the fully featured version of the 10132328 base number, with the gold/GXT finish and the full complement of 24 pins for SuperSpeed+ data and power delivery.
Why the 10,000 Mating Cycles and Gold Plating Matter
The 10,000-cycle rating is well above the USB-IF minimum of 10,000 for the standard USB-C receptacle, meaning this connector is built for repeated connect/disconnect duty in field-service or test equipment. The gold and GXT™ contact finish supports that cycle life without fretting corrosion — the GXT™ is a palladium-nickel underplate with gold flash, giving better wear resistance than straight gold at the same thickness.
Vertical Mount with Hybrid Termination
The mounting type is listed as both Surface Mount and Through Hole — this is a hybrid termination common on USB-C receptacles: the signal pins are SMT for fine-pitch routing, while the shield legs are through-hole for mechanical retention.
Shielded Construction for USB 3.2 Gen 2 Signal Integrity
The steel and stainless steel shell provides full EMI shielding. The 100VAC voltage rating is unusually high for a USB connector — most USB-C receptacles are rated 20V for USB PD.
The 10132328-10001LF is the same 24-contact USB-C receptacle with the same shielding, vertical mount, and 10,000-cycle rating, but its contact finish is Nickel instead of Gold/GXT™. That makes the 10001LF a lower-cost option for applications where the mating cycle count is low — say, a device that gets plugged in once at the factory and stays there. The 10011LF with gold/GXT™ is the right pick for field-serviceable equipment or any port that sees regular reconnection.
No official cross-reference or direct second-source is on record — the 10132328 base number is Amphenol FCI's own design.
