Product Overview
This 6-pin connector is optimized for power-focused applications, offering a simplified pinout (including VBUS, GND, and CC1/CC2) compared to full 24-pin versions. The top-mount configuration allows the connector to sit on the upper surface of the PCB with a center height of 2.38mm. Designed for durability, it supports 10,000 mating cycles and is rated for a total current of 3.0 Amps, making it ideal for compact, moisture-resistant charging solutions.

FAQ
Q1: What does the IPX5 waterproof rating mean for my device? A1: An IPX5 rating means the connector is protected against low-pressure water jets from any angle. This is typically sufficient for protecting a device against rain, splashes, or accidental spills when used with the integrated O-ring.
Q2: Why use a 6-pin USB-C connector instead of a 24-pin version? A2: The 6-pin design is more cost-effective and easier to route on a PCB for devices that primarily require charging and basic signal functions, as it removes unnecessary high-speed data pins.
Q3: Is this connector compatible with automated assembly? A3: Yes, it is designed for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and is supplied in Reel and Tape format, making it ready for high-speed automated pick-and-place and IR reflow production lines.
