High-Performance USB Type C Female Connector 16 Pin Mid Mount UC22-8E1H1A103-0HR-02

Product Overview

This connector is part of Vitalconn’s professional USB-C series, designed to achieve slimmer device profiles through its mid-mount (recessed) orientation. By sinking the connector into the PCB, it minimizes the overall height of the assembly. It is built with a high-temperature resistant housing and a robust stainless steel shell to ensure mechanical stability and signal integrity even in high-density electronic environments.
