USB Type C Female 24 Pin Splint Straddle Mount Connector for 1 0mm PCB UC32-2E1H1A003-1HU-15

The UC32-2E1H1A003-1HU-15 is a specialized 24-pin USB Type-C female receptacle designed for splint (straddle mount) installation. This unique mounting style allows the connector to “sandwich” the edge of a 1.0mm thick PCB, providing exceptional mechanical stability and a symmetrical profile. Engineered as a “Without EMI” variant, it offers a streamlined design for internal board-to-board connections or hardware environments where external electromagnetic interference shielding is provided by other components.

FAQ

Q1: What does “Splint” type mean for this connector? A1: “Splint” type (also known as straddle mount) refers to a mounting configuration where the connector tails are split into two rows that sandwich the edge of the PCB, providing much higher mechanical strength than standard surface-mount models.

Q2: Why would I choose a version “Without EMI”? A2: This version is ideal for internal connections within a device where the outer chassis already provides EMI/EMC protection, or for cost-sensitive designs that do not require an integrated shield on the connector itself.

Q3: Can I use this connector on a 1.6mm thick PCB? A3: No, this specific model is precision-engineered for a 1.0mm PCB thickness. Using a thicker board would prevent the splint tails from fitting properly over the board edge.
