Key Features — USB-C 16 Pin SMT On-Board Connector
5A High‑Current & 100W PD Support
Rated 5A continuous current, enabling full USB Power Delivery up to 100W (20V/5A) when paired with a compatible PD controller.
Rear Stability Legs
Integrated rear legs act as mechanical anchors, preventing the connector from lifting off the PCB under high insertion torque and repeated cable pulls.
Low Profile On‑Board Design
Optimized for thin enclosures, the on‑board SMT design reduces overall height while maintaining strong mechanical retention.
Premium Stainless Steel Shell
Full‑metal shielding provides excellent EMI protection and structural rigidity, ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
USB 2.0 Data + PD Charging
16‑pin configuration supports USB 2.0 data (480 Mbps) and full PD negotiation via CC pins — ideal for devices that don't need SuperSpeed data.
SMT Production Ready
Supplied in tape‑and‑reel packaging, fully compatible with automated pick‑and‑place lines for high‑volume manufacturing.
Typical Applications
The USB-TC16-F13 is widely adopted in applications that require high‑power charging with USB 2.0 communication, especially where space is limited and reliability is critical.
