Where to Use This 24 Pin USB Type-C Plug
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SMT and through-hole mounting for USB-C plugs?
SMT (Surface Mount Technology) allows automated PCB assembly with solder paste reflow, ideal for high-volume production. Through-hole provides superior mechanical strength by inserting pins through the PCB and soldering on the reverse side. This 24-pin USB-C plug combines both — SMT pads for signal pins plus through-hole legs for mechanical stability, making it perfect for applications subject to vibration or frequent mating.
Can this 24-pin USB-C plug handle USB Power Delivery (PD) fast charging?
Yes. With 5A current rating and full 24-pin configuration including CC1/CC2 channels, this connector supports USB PD 3.0 up to 100W (20V/5A) when paired with a compatible PD controller. For USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (240W), please contact our engineering team for feasibility assessment.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this connector?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces per order. For engineering validation and prototyping, we offer free samples (typically 5-10 pieces) to qualified projects. Volume pricing tiers are available at 5K, 10K, 50K, and 100K+ quantities. Contact sales@vistarelectronics.com for a detailed quotation.
Is this connector compatible with USB4 and Thunderbolt 3/4?
The 24-pin configuration includes all necessary signal pairs (TX/RX, SBU, CC) for USB4 and Thunderbolt 3/4 alt modes. However, achieving full 40 Gbps USB4 or Thunderbolt performance requires additional considerations: PCB trace length matching, impedance control, and active cable support. Our engineering team can review your PCB layout for high-speed signal integrity.
What environmental and quality certifications does this product have?
This connector is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management and complies with RoHS 3 (EU 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations. Test reports for dimensional accuracy, electrical continuity, and environmental stress screening are available upon request. For automotive-grade requirements (AEC-Q200, IATF 16949), please inquire about our enhanced qualification process.
Can Vistar customize this connector for my specific application?
Yes, we offer full OEM/ODM customization services. Common modifications include: custom pin assignments (e.g., 16-pin or 9-pin reduced configurations), alternative plating (30μ” gold, selective gold, tin), modified housing colors (black, white, custom RGB), and special packaging (tape & reel pitch, orientation, carrier tape specifications). Typical custom development lead time is 4-6 weeks after drawing approval.
