24 Pin USB-C Female Connector SMT Vertical — USB-TC24-F15, H=9.25/10.45mm, 5A/20V

The USB-TC24-F15 and the USB-TC24-F17A share the same vertical SMT footprint and the same 9.25mm / 10.45mm height options. The difference is the voltage rating: the F15 is rated for 20V DC, which covers standard USB Power Delivery up to 100W (20V × 5A), while the F17A is rated for 30V DC. Choose the F15 for standard 20V PD designs, and the F17A if your specification calls for a 30V DC rating at the same height. Not sure which fits? Contact our engineers with your voltage, current, and mounting height requirements.

What Is a 24 Pin USB-C Female Connector SMT Vertical?

A 24 pin USB-C female connector SMT vertical is a full‑featured USB Type‑C receptacle with 24 pins, surface‑mount termination, and a vertical orientation on the PCB. The USB-TC24-F15 mounts upright with the port opening facing upward, enabling top‑access designs in laptops, docking stations, industrial PCs, and embedded systems.

The 24‑pin configuration provides complete USB‑C functionality — four SuperSpeed differential pairs for USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) data, USB 2.0 D+/D‑ for legacy compatibility, CC1/CC2 for orientation detection and PD negotiation, VBUS and GND for power delivery, and SBU pins for Alternate Mode video output.

USB 3.1 Type-C Receptacle — Key Capabilities

This USB 3.1 Type-C receptacle supports data rates up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for high‑speed data transfer applications. The full 24‑pin configuration also supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, enabling video output through the USB‑C connector without additional ports.

With a 5A current rating, the USB-TC24-F15 supports USB Power Delivery up to 100W (20V × 5A). This makes it suitable for charging laptops, power banks, and other high‑power devices, provided a suitable PD controller is used on the PCB.

Vertical USB-C Connector SMT — Advantages for PCB Design

The vertical USB-C connector SMT orientation offers several advantages for PCB design. First, the vertical mounting keeps the connector footprint compact and predictable, simplifying board layout. Second, the upright orientation positions the port opening facing upward, enabling top‑panel access without routing cables horizontally across the board.

Third, the vertical design is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes, and the connector is available in tape‑and‑reel packaging for high‑volume pick‑and‑place assembly. The high‑temperature LCP housing withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, ensuring reliable soldering.

Applications Across Industries

This 24 pin USB Type-C female is widely used across multiple industries. In laptops and notebooks, it serves as the primary USB‑C port for charging, data, and video output. In docking stations, it provides vertical USB‑C ports for laptop connectivity. Industrial PCs and embedded systems rely on it for reliable USB‑C connectivity in demanding environments. Tablets, 2‑in‑1 devices, monitors, and power banks also benefit from the USB-TC24-F15’s full‑featured capability and high‑power support.
