New 16- and 24-pin USB Type-C connectors support loads of up to 240 W
Global Connector Technology connectors benefit from a robust mechanical design. The 240 W USB PD capability provides much more power and faster charging than the previous 100 W limit.
Global Connector Technology (GCT) has launched new USB Type-C®-rated connectors that support a power throughput of 240 W for the latest generation of electronics devices that demand more power and faster charging than the previous 100 W limit for USB Power Delivery (PD) systems.
The GCT 240 W USB Type-C connectors support the USB PD standard for operation at up to 48 V and 5 A. The USB PD protocol enables devices to communicate with each other before transmitting and receiving power, so they can take and/or deliver only the amount of power needed.
The new 240 W-rated products are available in a 16-pin format for USB 2.0 applications, and a 24-pin format for USB 3.2 Gen 2. The connectors’ robust design withstands a minimum of 20,000 mating cycles, twice the industry standard.
The multiple mounting configurations and shell stake options provide the flexibility to fit a number of common PCB thicknesses.
