Type-C USB 12Pin Female SMD Socket Connector

Add a reliable, reversible USB TypeC port to your custom PCB with this 12-pin female socket connector, designed for surface-mount soldering. This variant includes power delivery pins (VBUS/GND), CC configuration channels for orientation detection, and standard D+/D- data lines, giving you the reversible, no-wrong-way-to-plug-in convenience of Type-C without the added complexity of full SuperSpeed routing. Since it omits the dedicated high-speed TX/RX lanes found on 24-pin variants, data transfer runs at USB 2.0 speeds, making this connector a practical, cost-effective choice for charging ports, basic data sync, and any project where full USB 3.x bandwidth isn’t required. It’s well suited for battery-powered devices, custom charging docks, microcontroller projects, and general-purpose ports where simplicity and reliable power delivery matter more than raw transfer speed. The reversible design means users never have to worry about plug orientation, a major usability win over older USB-A or micro-USB connectors. Built with a durable LCP housing rated for high-temperature reflow soldering and full metal shielding for EMI protection, this connector is engineered to withstand thousands of insertion cycles without losing contact integrity. It’s a solid pick for makers and product designers upgrading a design to modern USB-C standards for power and basic data use. Double-check your PCB footprint against the supplier’s datasheet before ordering boards.
