USB-C Plug for Board-Edge Integration
The Molex 1054440011 is a USB Type-C plug from the 105444 series, carrying 24 contacts in the standard USB-C pinout. This is the plug (cable-end) half, designed for a board-edge straddle-mount solder termination — the connector straddles the PCB edge so the cable exits flush with the board plane.
The straddle-mount footprint is the distinguishing feature here — the connector sits astride the PCB edge rather than on the board surface. This saves z-height inside the enclosure and keeps the cable exit aligned with the board edge, which matters for thin devices or panel-mount USB ports.
