Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 24-pin and 16-pin USB-C connectors?
A 24-pin USB-C connector carries the complete USB-C specification: SuperSpeed data (USB 3.1 Gen 2 / USB4), DisplayPort and HDMI Alt Mode video, and USB Power Delivery up to 240W. A 16-pin USB-C connector supports USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and up to 5A charging, but omits the high-speed data pairs and Alt Mode pins — making it ideal for cost-sensitive charging-only or low-speed data applications.
What USB standards do your USB-C connectors support?
Our USB-C connector range covers USB 2.0 (16-pin, 6-pin models), USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), USB 3.2, and USB4 Gen 3×2 (40 Gbps) — depending on the model.
Do you offer waterproof USB-C connectors? What IP ratings are available?
Yes. Vistar Electronics offers waterproof USB-C connectors rated IP67 (dust-proof + 1m/30min immersion) and IP68 (dust-proof + deeper submersion).
What is a mid-mount USB-C connector and when should I use it?
A mid-mount USB-C connector is recessed into a slot cut through the PCB, reducing the installed height above the board surface compared to a standard bottom-mount or surface-mount design. It is the preferred choice for ultra-thin laptops, tablets, and 2-in-1 devices where vertical PCB clearance is critical.
Are your USB-C connectors RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. All Vistar USB-C connectors are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations.
What is the MOQ and can I get a free sample?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces per model. Free samples are available for qualified engineering and product development projects. Contact sales@vistarelectronics.com with your project details.
