A Type-C receptacle is selected on contact count, mounting style and durability. The USB-IF Type-C specification defines 24 contact positions in mirrored halves so the plug is reversible; KINGCONN publishes 24, 16, 14 and 6 position receptacles at 0.50mm, 0.70mm and 0.85mm pitch with 3,000 to 10,000 mating cycles. Every value comes from the drawing on the part page.
Contact count: how much of Type-C do you actually need?
| Positions | What is on them | What it serves |
|---|---|---|
| 24 pin | full Type-C: SuperSpeed pairs, CC1/CC2, SBU1/SBU2, VBUS, GND | USB 3.2 / USB4, DisplayPort alt mode, full PD |
| 16 pin | SuperSpeed pairs dropped, CC and USB 2.0 kept | charge-and-USB-2.0 products; simpler routing, lower cost |
| 14 pin | further reduced, charging oriented | power-only or cost-critical designs |
| 6 pin | power and essential contacts only | modules that just take power |
Dropping the SuperSpeed pairs is the single biggest simplification available in a Type-C design: it removes the controlled-impedance routing, the length matching and the return-path discipline that the high-speed pairs demand. If the product charges and talks USB 2.0, a 16-position part does the job at lower cost. For the connector family comparison see USB connector types.
Mounting and retention
| Mounting | What it is | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical SMT | receptacle stands upright on the board | small board area, cable from above; e.g. 7USB31-F0-0030 at H15.0mm |
| 180° mid-mount | receptacle sits in a board cut-out, flush with the edge | thinner enclosure; e.g. 7USB31-F0-0002 at H6.5mm |
| SMT + DIP hybrid | signal pins SMT, shell legs through-hole | best pull-out resistance; e.g. 7USB31-E0-4001 |
| Full DIP, dual row | all through-hole | hand assembly or serviceability; e.g. 7USB31-F0-0026 |
Type-C ports fail mechanically far more often than electrically: the user levers the plug, and the load goes into the shell solder joints. Parts with through-hole shell legs or locating bosses survive that better than all-SMT parts. This is a selection decision, not a layout fix.
