USB Type-C® Edge Mount PCB Plug for Increased Design Flexibility

The horizontal USB4155 complements GCT's vertical USB4151 plug and other connectors in the GCT range to give designers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for any USB-C application in any orientation. The unique nature of the right-angle plug has significant advantages over the traditional straddle mount products on the market-place.

GCT’s USB4155 mid-mounted USB Type-C plug is designed to make the best use of the PCB thickness within the profile of the connector. The slim 2.9 mm profile offers features on the external metal case that provide excellent EMI/RFI protection and engage with case designs to optimize strength, eliminating external forces being transmitted to the PCB solder joint.

The plug has two rows of SMT contacts for soldering on one side of the PCB and two PCB shell stakes for shell grounding and retention on the PCB.
