USB-C Receptacle for High-Speed Data and Power
The Hirose CX80B1-24P is a USB Type-C receptacle from the CX series, offering the full 24-contact complement in a shielded, vertical-mount package. The reversible mating interface is inherent to the USB-C standard, so orientation during cable insertion is never a concern. Rated for 0.25 A on the signal contacts and 1.25 A on the power contacts, this receptacle handles the standard USB-C power delivery profile up to 20 VAC. The 10000-cycle mating durability is well above the USB-IF minimum of 10000 cycles for the receptacle side, so it holds up in field-serviceable equipment or test jigs where the connector sees frequent reconnects. Gold plating on the contacts and a UL94 V-0 rated housing (steel/stainless shield) mean this part is ready for RoHS-compliant assemblies in equipment that requires a flame-retardant enclosure.
Board Layout and Mounting Notes
The CX80B1-24P uses a vertical SMT mounting style, with the signal pins soldered to the board surface and the shield legs typically through-hole for mechanical retention. The reversible orientation means the PCB footprint must accommodate the full 24-pin USB-C land pattern — no keying pin to worry about, but the pad layout must match the USB-IF standard for the receptacle. The shield anchors take the mechanical strain from cable insertion and removal, so ensure the through-hole pads are properly soldered on both sides for a reliable ground connection. The vertical orientation means the nozzle picks from the top of the shield — no special handling required beyond standard SMT reflow profiles for a mixed-technology board (SMT signal pins + through-hole shield anchors).
