It carries 24 contacts arranged as 16+8 dummy — the full USB-C complement for power and data, with the dummy positions handling the CC and sideband signals. The waterproof rating means this connector seals against moisture ingress when mated with a matching CX series plug, making it a candidate for outdoor kiosks, industrial handhelds, or any enclosure that sees washdown or rain. Rated for 10000 mating cycles, this receptacle outlasts typical consumer USB-C connectors by a wide margin. The gold-plated contacts and shielded steel shell are designed for that kind of duty — the plating resists corrosion over repeated insertions, and the shell provides the EMI containment needed for USB 2.0 signal integrity. The CX90BW-16P supports two mounting styles: surface mount, right angle and through-hole. The solder termination is compatible with reflow for the SMT variant or wave solder for the through-hole version — pick the one that matches your assembly line. The horizontal, reversible mounting feature is inherent to the USB-C form factor, meaning the plug can be inserted either way up. ## Voltage and Environmental Ratings Rated at 20VAC. The steel and stainless shielding material provides mechanical robustness and a solid ground path for the shield current.","metaTitle":"CX90BW-16P USB-C Receptacle, Waterproof, 10000 Cycles","metaDescription":"CX90BW-16P USB-C (USB TYPE-C) receptacle, 24 contacts, waterproof, rated 10000 mating cycles.
