USB C 16 Pin DIP Vertical Connector — Type-C Female H=6.5mm Through-Hole PCB Mount (USB-TC16-F09)
Part No: USB-TC16-F09 | H = 6.5 / 6.8mm | DIP Through-Hole
USB C 16 Pin DIP Vertical Connector — Overview
The USB-TC16-F09 USB C 16 pin DIP vertical connector is a through-hole Type-C female receptacle designed for vertical (upright) PCB mounting via wave soldering or manual soldering. With a compact H=6.5mm or H=6.8mm profile above the PCB surface, it delivers a reliable USB 2.0 charging and data interface for a wide range of consumer and industrial electronics.
Unlike SMT connectors which rely solely on surface solder joints, DIP through-hole connectors anchor mechanically to the PCB through plated holes, providing superior pull-out and side-load resistance. This makes the USB-TC16-F09 the preferred choice in applications where the USB-C port is subject to repeated mechanical stress — such as consumer chargers, desktop hubs, and industrial control panels.
The 16-pin configuration retains the full USB-IF Type-C specification for USB 2.0 signals (D+/D−), power delivery (VBUS/GND), and configuration (CC1/CC2), supporting USB PD fast charging up to 5A when paired with a compatible controller IC. It is compatible with all standard USB-C cables and plugs, including reversible insertion in both orientations.
For designs requiring USB 3.1 SuperSpeed data, see the full 24-pin USB-C connector range which includes mid-mount, SMT, and DIP variants with the complete 24-pin pinout.

Key Features — USB C 16 Pin DIP Vertical Connector
DIP Through-Hole — Superior Mechanical Strength
Through-hole pins pass through the PCB and are soldered on both sides, providing significantly stronger mechanical anchoring than surface-mount designs. Ideal for ports subject to cable pulling forces and repeated plug/unplug stress.
Vertical Orientation — Upright Port Design
The vertical (90°) mounting orientation positions the USB-C port facing upward or toward the panel edge, enabling clean top-access or front-panel charging port integration without complex PCB routing.
5A / USB Power Delivery Ready
Rated at 5A/30VDC with CC1 and CC2 pins for USB PD negotiation. Supports up to 100W fast charging when paired with a compatible USB PD controller IC (e.g., CYPD, FUSB302 or equivalent).
H=6.5 / 6.8mm — Two Height Options
Available in H=6.5mm and H=6.8mm variants to accommodate different chassis and PCB-to-panel distances. Both variants share identical footprint for easy BOM substitution.
Wave Solder Compatible — Production Ready
Standard DIP through-hole footprint compatible with wave soldering and selective soldering processes. Available in tray packaging for manual assembly or reel for automated through-hole insertion machines.
RoHS 3 & REACH Compliant
Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations, ensuring safe export to the EU, North America, and all regulated markets worldwide.
Typical Applications — 16 Pin USB-C DIP Vertical Connector
