It is specified for USB 2.0 operation, meaning the SuperSpeed differential pairs (SSRX/SSTX) are not wired; the connector handles USB 2.0 data (D+/D-), power (VBUS/GND), and the configuration channel (CC) through the standard 16-pin set. The 24-contact body ensures full mechanical compatibility with any USB-C plug, but the signal path stops at USB 2.0 rates. Rated at 20VAC and 0.25A per contact on the signal pins, with 1.25A available on the power contacts (VBUS/GND). ## Mounting That Covers Three Build Configurations The CX90M-16P supports board-edge cutout, surface-mount, and through-hole right-angle mounting in a single part — a flexibility that simplifies BOM management when the same connector must fit different PCB layouts across product variants. The steel/stainless shield provides EMI containment and mates with the plug shell for ground reference. ## USB 2.0 vs USB 3.2 — The CX90M-16P Is Not a Direct Swap If your design requires USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) signaling, the CX90MWD2G-24P or CX90B1-24P are the correct siblings — both carry the same 24-contact layout but route the SuperSpeed pairs and are rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2. The mechanical footprint and mating interface are identical across the CX series, so a board laid out for the CX90M-16P can accept the USB 3.2 variant without PCB changes, provided the extra differential pairs are routed. The CX90MW6-16P is another USB 2.0 variant but with a flange-mount option for panel-secured installations.","metaTitle":"Hirose CX90M-16P USB-C Receptacle, 24 Contacts, USB 2.0","metaDescription":"Hirose CX90M-16P USB Type-C receptacle, 24 contacts (16+8 dummy), USB 2.0, 20VAC, 0.25A/1.25A, 10,000 mating cycles, shielded, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"CX","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["USB, Type-C & HDMI Connectors","USB / HDMI Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Gender":"Receptacle","Series":"CX","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"-","Shielding":"Shielded","Termination":"Solder","Mating Cycles":"10000","Mounting Type":"Board Edge, Cutout; Surface Mount; Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"USB-C (USB TYPE-C)","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","Specifications":"USB 2.0","Number of Ports":"1","Voltage - Rated":"20VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Insulation Color":"Black","Mounting Feature":"Horizontal, Mid Mount","Ingress Protection":"-","Number of Contacts":"24 (16+8 Dummy)","Base Product Number":"CX90M","Current Rating (Amps)":"0.25A, 1.25A","Operating Temperature":"-30°C ~ 85°C","Shell/Shielding Material":"Steel, Stainless","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.6200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.62000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.27900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.18160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$2.13320","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.03620","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.84224","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.69680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1600,"price":"$1.40592","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3200,"price":"$1.35744","currency":"USD"},{"qty":4800,"price":"$1.28957","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/5832785654f2f7f89addb61e4f8dbb7e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the CX90M-16P and what is the price?","answer":"The CX90M-16P is sourced to order through independent distribution."},{"question":"Does the CX90M-16P support USB 3.2 or is it limited to USB 2.0?","answer":"The CX90M-16P is specified for USB 2.0 only.
