USB Type-C connectors provide robust operation and long-term reliability
Global Connector Technology produces various USB Type-C® connectors that are rated for 20,000 mating cycles. The family includes products that support the new 240 W capability in the USB Power Delivery standard.
Global Connector Technology (GCT) supplies a family of 6-, 16-, and 24-pin USB Type-C connectors that are ideal for applications requiring long-term reliability.
These USB Type-C connectors are rated for 20,000 mating cycles, which is twice the requirement specified by the industry standard.
The 6-pin variants are cost-effective connectors suitable for applications that require power only, and no USB data-transfer functionality. The 16-pin connectors are for USB 2.0 systems. The 24-pin variants support full USB 3.2 Gen2 functionality.
The GCT connectors are available in horizontal, vertical and flag mounting options. Most parts have multiple shell stakes to ensure strong retention to the PCB.
