FAQ

Q1: What is the main advantage of the SMT+DIP hybrid mount for this 24-pin connector? A1: The hybrid mount provides the best of both worlds: SMT pins allow for the high-precision soldering needed for high-speed data signals, while the DIP shell legs pass through the PCB to provide a strong mechanical anchor that resists torque and pulling forces.

Q2: Does this connector support full-featured USB-C capabilities like Power Delivery (PD)? A2: Yes, with a full 24-pin assignment, it supports all necessary signals for Power Delivery (up to 5A) and high-speed data protocols.

Q3: How long is the expected mechanical life of this port? A3: This connector is designed for heavy-duty use and is rated for a mechanical durability of 10,000 mating cycles.
