As the global electronics industry shifts toward a universal standard, the USB Type-C 16-Pin 90-Degree Connector by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. emerges as the ideal solution for modern hardware. This precision-engineered connector balances the high-speed capability and reversible convenience of USB-C with a simplified 16-pin layout optimized for Power Delivery (PD) and USB 2.0 data rates.

Manufactured in India, this right-angle (90-degree) connector is designed for robust PCB mounting in smartphones, wearables, industrial IoT devices, and consumer electronics.

The 16-Pin Advantage: Optimized for Power and Speed

While full-featured USB-C connectors use 24 pins, the 16-pin configuration is a strategic choice for engineers focusing on high-efficiency power and standard data transfer:

• Simplified Layout: By removing the high-speed differential pairs not required for USB 2.0, the 16-pin design offers a more robust soldering interface and easier PCB trace routing.

• Superior Power Delivery: Fully supports USB Power Delivery (PD), allowing for fast charging applications that require higher current ratings than traditional Micro-USB.

• Reversible Convenience: Retains the hallmark “flip-ability” of the Type-C standard, ensuring a perfect plug-in every time and reducing user-inflicted port damage.

• 90-Degree Side Entry: The right-angle orientation is perfect for low-profile devices, allowing the cable to connect parallel to the PCB for a slimmer product design.

Key Features & High-Performance Specs

• Robust Mechanical Mounting: Features a combination of Surface Mount (SMT) signal pins for precision and Through-Hole (THT) shield tabs for maximum mechanical anchorage. This hybrid design prevents the port from being torn off the board during heavy use.

• Full Metal Shielding: Encased in a high-strength, stainless steel or nickel-plated shell, providing 360 degree protection against EMI/RFI and superior physical durability.

• Premium Contact Plating: Selective gold plating over nickel on the 16 pins ensures low contact resistance, efficient power transfer, and a long lifespan of over 10,000 mating cycles.

• High-Temperature LCP Housing: Molded from Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), a UL 94V-0 rated material that can withstand the high heat of reflow soldering processes.

• Make in India Excellence: Produced by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd., an ISO-certified leader delivering international quality with localized supply chain advantages.
