The 6-Pin USB Type C Connector (SMD) is a surface-mount version of the popular USB Type C port, designed for sleek, space-saving PCB designs. Unlike the full 24-pin Type C connector, this simplified 6-pin variant focuses on basic charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, making it ideal for applications like wearables, IoT devices, and compact gadgets where minimal pins and small footprints are critical.

This connector retains the reversible plug orientation of USB Type C, ensuring user-friendly insertion. Its SMD (Surface-Mount Device) design allows for automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs. The robust construction ensures durability, with a high mating cycle rating (typically 10,000+ insertions), and it supports up to 3A current for fast charging. Perfect for designers prioritizing slim profiles and reliable connectivity in modern electronics.

Key Features

• Reversible Design: No wrong way to plug in.
• SMD Footprint: Space-saving and PCB-friendly.
• Fast Charging: Supports up to 3A current for quick power delivery.
• Durability: Built to withstand thousands of insertions.

Common Applications

• Wearables: Smartwatches, fitness trackers.
• IoT Devices: Sensors, smart home gadgets.
• Portable Electronics: Drones, wireless earbuds, handheld tools.
• Medical Devices: Compact diagnostic equipment.

Usage Tips

1. Soldering: Use reflow soldering for precise SMD mounting.
2. PCB Layout: Ensure proper alignment of the connector footprint to avoid misplacement.
3. Current Handling: Add thermal relief pads for high-current paths (e.g., VBUS and GND).
4. EMI Shielding: Include grounding vias near the connector to reduce electromagnetic interference.
5. Compliance: Verify USB-IF standards for certification if required.
