Product details

USB Type-C Receptacle for Industrial and High-Cycle Applications

The 2171790001: The 24-contact layout follows the standard Type-C footprint — 16 signal/power contacts plus 8 dummy pins for configuration channel (CC) and overcurrent detection. The shielded steel/stainless shell contains EMI and provides mechanical robustness for panel-mount or board-edge installations in industrial equipment, kiosks, and charging stations.

Sizing the Power Delivery Path

The 30 V rating covers the PD extended voltage range up to 20 V with margin. For comparison, a standard USB 2.0 Type-C receptacle typically derates to 3 A — the 5 A here signals a reinforced contact beam and thicker plating for sustained high-current duty.

Available in both Surface Mount (SMD) right-angle and Through-Hole configurations. The SMD version suits automated pick-and-place assembly on double-sided boards; the through-hole variant provides stronger mechanical anchoring for cable strain at the board edge.

The shielded shell is steel/stainless, providing both EMI containment and corrosion resistance in humid or condensing environments.

Frequently asked questions

Is 2171790001 compatible with USB 3.0 or USB 3.1?

No — this receptacle is specified for USB 2.0 only (480 Mbps). The 24-contact Type-C footprint is mechanically compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 plugs, but the internal wiring and signal routing are limited to USB 2.0 differential pairs. For USB 3.x data rates, select a receptacle explicitly rated for SuperSpeed (5 Gbps or higher).
