USB-C 24 Pin Mid-Mount Right-Angle Male Plug (USB-TC24-M04)
The USB-TC24-M04 is a 24-pin USB Type-C male plug with mid-mount right-angle SMT mounting. The connector body sits partly in a PCB cutout, which reduces the mounted height for ultra-thin devices. It has a body length of 15.5mm.
USB C 24 Pin Male Plug Mid Mount — Product Overview
The USB-TC24-M04 is a 24-pin USB Type-C male plug with mid-mount right-angle SMT mounting. The connector body sits partly in a PCB cutout, which reduces the mounted height for ultra-thin devices. It has a body length of 15.5mm.
It uses the full 24-pin Type-C layout: SuperSpeed TX/RX differential pairs for USB 3.2 Gen 2 data at up to 10Gbps, D+/D- lines, CC lines, SBU lines, VBUS and GND, with reversible insertion. The VBUS pins (A4, A9, B4, B9) are rated 5A and the other pins 1.25A. The terminals are copper alloy with 3μ” gold on the contact area and matte tin solder tails. The shell and latch are stainless steel, with two EMC springs, and the housing is black LCP. The connector is rated for 10,000 mating cycles and operates from -30°C to +85°C.
For other 24-pin male plugs, see USB-TC24-M05, USB-TC24-M07 and USB-TC24-M09. For signal assignment, see our USB-C pinout guide. For official standards, see the USB Type-C specification from USB-IF.

M04, M05 and M07 are all 24-pin horizontal or mid-mount male plugs rated for 10Gbps. Their footprints, shell details and exact body dimensions may differ. Check the 2D drawing for each part before finalizing the layout. M09 is a vertical plug with through-hole tabs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a USB-C 24-pin mid-mount right-angle male plug?
It is a USB Type-C male plug that sits partly in a PCB cutout to reduce the mounted height, with the plug facing sideways from the board edge. It carries data at up to 10Gbps over the full 24-pin layout.
What is the difference between this plug and a USB-C receptacle?
A plug is the male connector that inserts into a receptacle. A receptacle is the female port on the device. For mid-mount receptacles, see USB-TC24-F11 and USB-TC24-F24.
What current does it support?
The VBUS pins (A4, A9, B4, B9) are rated 5A and the other pins 1.25A. Power delivery depends on the PD controller and cable in your system.
What is the difference between USB-TC24-M04 and the other 24-pin male plugs?
M04 is a mid-mount right-angle plug with a body length of 15.5mm. M05 and M07 are also horizontal / mid-mount 24-pin male plugs. Their exact footprints and shell details may differ, so please check the 2D drawings side by side before switching between models. M09 is a vertical SMT plug with through-hole tabs.
What are the MOQ, lead time and samples?
MOQ is 1,000 pcs and lead time is 2–4 weeks for production quantities. Free samples are available for qualified projects, along with the datasheet and 2D/3D drawing on request.
