It carries the full 24-contact complement defined by the USB-C standard — 14 signal contacts plus 10 dummy pins that handle the configuration channel, power delivery negotiation, and ground returns. This is a standard compliance box to tick for commercial and industrial electronics. ## Pinout and USB Standard Compatibility The 24-contact layout (14+10 dummy) is the full USB Type-C pinout defined by the USB Implementers Forum. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), USB Power Delivery up to 100 W, and alternate modes such as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt — provided the system controller and cable assembly match. The receptacle itself does not enforce a specific USB generation; it is the physical interface that any USB-C plug mates with. The pinout is standard: the two sets of 12 contacts on each side of the receptacle mirror the symmetrical design of the USB-C plug, allowing flip-insertion. This receptacle mounts through-hole with a right-angle orientation, described as vertical flag mounting. The solder tails go through the PCB and are wave-soldered or hand-soldered; the board lock provides additional hold during the soldering process and after. The unshielded variant means there is no metal shell over the top — the steel and stainless shielding material listed refers to the internal shield structure of the USB-C interface itself, not an external EMI can. For applications requiring an overall shield, a separate metal housing or chassis ground connection is needed.","metaTitle":"Molex 2169890002 USB-C Receptacle, 24 Contacts, Right Angle","metaDescription":"Molex 2169890002 USB Type-C receptacle, 24 contacts (14+10 dummy), through-hole right-angle mount, gold plating, board lock, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["USB, Type-C & HDMI Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Molex","Gender":"Receptacle","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Board Lock","Shielding":"Unshielded","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"-","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"USB-C (USB TYPE-C)","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"-","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"-","Mounting Feature":"Vertical, Flag","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"24 (14+10 Dummy)","Base Product Number":"216989","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-","Shell/Shielding Material":"Steel, Stainless","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6100","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/3bd9d6327cbc97da4b8e1f6287a7869e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the 2169890002 compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2?","answer":"Yes, the 2169890002 is a full USB Type-C receptacle with the 24-contact pinout that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) operation, provided the system controller and cable assembly are also rated for that standard."},{"question":"What is the pinout of the Molex 2169890002 USB-C receptacle?","answer":"The pinout follows the standard USB Type-C specification: 24 contacts arranged as 14 signal contacts and 10 dummy pins, with two mirrored rows of 12 contacts each to enable flip-insertion."},{"question":"Where can I buy the 2169890002 USB-C connector?","answer":"The 2169890002 is available to order through independent distribution.
