USB-C Receptacle for USB 3.2 Gen 2 — Hirose CX80B2-24P
The Hirose CX80B2-24P is a USB Type-C receptacle from the CX series, carrying 24 contacts in a shielded, vertical-mount package. It is specified for USB 3.2 Gen 2, with a 20 VDC voltage rating. The dual current rating — 0.25 A on signal contacts and 1.25 A on power contacts — matches the USB-C standard pin assignment.
This receptacle supports both Surface Mount and Through Hole mounting, giving the board designer flexibility between reflow-only assembly and a mixed-technology process. The vertical orientation keeps the USB-C port perpendicular to the PCB. The shell is steel or stainless steel.
Durability and Environmental Ratings
The gold-plated contacts resist fretting corrosion over those cycles.
The closest sibling in the CX series is the CX80B1-24P, which shares the same 24-contact layout, USB 3.2 Gen 2 spec, gold plating, and 10000-cycle durability. The difference that drives the selection: the CX80B1-24P is rated at 20 VAC, while the CX80B2-24P is rated at 20 VDC. For a USB-C power delivery application, the DC rating is the relevant one — the CX80B2-24P matches the power rail directly. If your BOM calls out the CX80B1-24P but the circuit is DC-only, the CX80B2-24P is a functional drop-in with the correct voltage spec.
