16 Pin USB C Connector waterproof top mount right angle
The 16 pin USB-C waterproof connector delivers reliable USB 2.0 data and power up to 5A in a fully sealed SMT package. Its compact Type‑C receptacle provides IP67-rated protection against dust and immersion, making it the ideal choice for handheld industrial devices, outdoor communication panels, marine electronics, and EV charging infrastructure that demand robust, all‑weather connectivity.
16 Pin USB-C Waterproof SMT Connector Overview
The 16 pin USB-C waterproof connector is a surface‑mount receptacle designed to bring modern USB Type‑C convenience to equipment that must withstand moisture, dust, and mechanical stress. Unlike standard open‑frame connectors, this waterproof USB-C SMT connector incorporates a precision‑moulded silicone sealing ring and a protective gasket that forms an IP67 barrier when mounted in a properly designed enclosure. The 16‑pin contact layout supports USB 2.0 data rates (480 Mbps), VBUS power delivery up to 5 A at 30 V, and CC logic for orientation‑free cable insertion.
Vistar’s engineering team has optimised the housing geometry for automated pick‑and‑place assembly and reflow soldering. The stainless‑steel mid‑plate and reinforced mounting legs provide high retention force and resistance to cable‑pull side loads. For additional technical context, designers may refer to the USB Type‑C Connector System Software Guide and the IP code standard on Wikipedia for waterproof rating definitions. All components are manufactured by Shenzhen Vistar Electronics Co.,Ltd. under ISO 9001:2015 quality management.
This 16 pin USB-C receptacle is available in a variety of shell finishes (nickel, black, or gold) and can be customised with a front‑panel seal for IP68 applications. Free engineering samples and 3D CAD models are provided to qualified OEMs.
