USB-C Receptacle for High-Speed Data and Power Delivery
The Molex 2171830001 is a USB Type-C receptacle from the 217183 series, designed to handle both USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) data and power delivery through its 24 contacts. The 5 A current rating per contact supports USB Power Delivery profiles, while the 10,000 mating cycle rating means this receptacle is built for repeated connect-disconnect duty, well beyond a basic consumer USB port.
The 24-contact pinout is the full USB-C complement — all the SuperSpeed differential pairs, sideband use, and power/ground contacts are present, so this receptacle supports alternate modes like DisplayPort over USB-C. The 10,000 mating cycles are backed by the gold contact finish — tin contacts would wear through long before that count.
