USB Type C 6 Pin Mid-mount SMT Waterproof Connector UC22-1A1H1E003-0HR-28

Product Overview

Part of the UC22 series, this connector streamlines power delivery and basic configuration by utilizing a 6-pin assignment (VBUS, GND, CC1, and CC2). This design is optimized for devices that do not require high-speed data transmission but do need a rugged, water-resistant charging port. The mid-mount configuration allows the connector to be partially recessed into the PCB, significantly reducing the overall vertical footprint of the port on the device’s chassis.

Product Specifications

FAQ

Q1: What is the benefit of the IPX5 rating for this USB-C port? A1: The IPX5 rating means the connector is protected against water jets from any direction, allowing it to be used in devices that might be exposed to rain, splashes, or damp environments.

Q2: Why choose a 6-pin configuration instead of a standard 24-pin USB-C? A2: The 6-pin configuration is specifically designed for devices that only need charging and basic power configuration, making the PCB design much simpler and more cost-effective while still providing a modern USB-C interface.

Q3: Can this connector be used in automated high-speed production? A3: Yes, it is supplied in Reel and Tape format for automated pick-and-place machines and is made of LCP plastic that is fully compatible with standard industrial IR reflow soldering processes.
