USB Type-C Connector Vertical SMT 24 Pin (USB-TC24-F16)

The USB-TC24-F16 is a USB Type-C connector vertical SMT 24 pin. The plug opening faces up, perpendicular to the PCB, and all 24 SMT pads sit on one side of the board. At H=6.5mm it is a low-profile option for slim devices.

It uses the full 24-pin Type-C layout: SuperSpeed TX/RX pairs for USB 3.2 Gen 2 data at 10Gbps, CC1/CC2 for configuration and Power Delivery negotiation, SBU1/SBU2 sideband lines, plus VBUS and GND. VBUS is rated 3A, which supports up to 60W (20V / 3A) with a compatible PD controller. The connector has a nickel-plated stainless steel shell for EMI shielding, gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and an LCP housing that suits lead-free reflow. It is rated for 10,000 mating cycles.

Need a taller vertical version or one with through-hole pegs? See USB-TC24-F15 (H=9.25/10.45mm, 5A/20V) or USB-TC24-F18A (H=10.35mm). For 40Gbps designs, see the USB4 vertical receptacle. For pin assignment, see our USB-C pinout guide. For official standards, see USB-IF.

Specifications are for reference. Please confirm against the latest datasheet before design-in, or contact our engineers.

A vertical receptacle like the USB-TC24-F16 takes the plug perpendicular to the PCB, so it suits designs where the enclosure panel sits parallel to the board, for example a top-facing or end-facing port. All 24 pads are on one side of the PCB, which keeps routing simple.

A right-angle (horizontal) receptacle takes the plug parallel to the PCB, from the board edge, and suits ports on the side of a device. A mid-mount receptacle sits partly in a PCB cutout to reduce height below the board surface, but the available pin count is usually lower. Choose the orientation from where the cable needs to enter your enclosure, then check the height: F16 is the low-profile option at H=6.5mm.

• Footprint: use the recommended land pattern from the 2D drawing (available on request). Solder the shell mounting tabs to dedicated anchor pads to resist cable insertion forces.
• High-speed routing: keep SuperSpeed pairs impedance-controlled at 90Ω differential, length-matched, with a solid ground reference below. Place ESD protection close to the connector pads.
• Power: route VBUS and GND with wide traces or polygons.
• SMT assembly: SAC305 paste is recommended. The part is MSL 1. Follow the reflow profile in the datasheet and inspect coplanarity after soldering.

All USB-TC24-F16 units are shipped in sealed dry-pack tape & reel (800 pieces per 13-inch reel) with MSL 1 designation, so no pre-bake is required. The connector is lead-free and compatible with SAC305 solder. Custom options such as higher gold thickness or alternative shell plating are available on request. Standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces.
