Overview of USB-TC16-F13

The USB-C 16 pin connector SMT on board (USB-TC16-F13) is a masterclass in interconnect engineering. Designed to provide a perfect balance between power delivery and space-saving PCB design, this 16-pin receptacle avoids the complexity of 24-pin versions while fully supporting USB Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W.

One of the standout features of this Type C connector USB 16 Pin SMT on board is its high-reliability shell design. Manufactured with premium stainless steel, the shell offers superior shielding and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its "On-Board" SMT configuration allows for precise automated assembly, ensuring high-yield manufacturing for OEMs and electronics producers worldwide.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum power this 16-pin connector can handle?
The USB-TC16-F13 is rated for 5.0A, which supports up to 100W Power Delivery (20V/5A) when used with appropriate PD controller circuitry.
Are the rear legs of the SMT connector necessary?
Yes. For high-durability applications, the rear legs provide the necessary mechanical leverage to ensure the SMT pads don't experience fatigue or peeling during cable removal.
Is this connector compatible with USB 3.0 or higher data speeds?
No. The 16‑pin version omits the SuperSpeed TX/RX pairs, supporting only USB 2.0 data rates (up to 480 Mbps). It retains full USB PD fast charging capability.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces. Reel and tray packaging are available for SMT assembly. Sample quantities are available for engineering evaluation.
Can I get a free sample of the USB-TC16-F13?
Yes. Vistar Electronics offers complimentary samples for qualified development projects. Submit your request via the form on this page or email sales@vistarelectronics.com.
