USB-C receptacle with 5A current capability
This Molex 2169890001 is a USB-C (USB TYPE-C) receptacle, the board-mounted half for a USB-C port. It carries 24 contacts (14+10 dummy), rated 5A per contact at 30VAC/DC, and is shielded for EMI containment. The 5A rating is the thermal limit per contact; at full load every amp makes heat, so derate for the real cabinet ambient. The gold contact finish supports the 10,000 mating cycle durability.
Through-hole right-angle mounting and USB 2.0 signal path
Mounting is through-hole, right-angle, with a vertical flag feature — it sits perpendicular to the PCB, suitable for board-edge or panel-mount USB ports. The USB 2.0 specification limits data rate to 480 Mbps; it is not USB 3.x compatible. Housing material is rated UL94 V-0.
The lifecycle status is Active — no obsolescence or end-of-life notice on record.
