Type C Usb Socket Panel Mount

USB 3.1 Type C Panel Mount Female Socket 4 Pin

Smd Solderable Pads Connector Phone Charge Board

     The Type C Usb Socket Panel Mount is a female USB Type-C input that is screwed to the wall of a device enclosure or project box. The USB-C socket sits in a 20mm x 6.7mm mounting plate with a screw hole at each end; the small blue board at the back has 4 pads for soldering wires: V (+5V supply), D-, D+ and G (GND). The wires are soldered to the circuit inside the enclosure, while the user plugs a standard USB-C cable from outside, in either orientation.

     Unlike two-pin (V and G only) power sockets, the D+ and D- data lines are also brought out. So the socket can be used both as a 5V charging/supply input and as a USB 2.0 data connection; for example a control board placed inside a box can be programmed through a USB-C cable plugged in from outside, without opening the enclosure. Unlike DIP type Type-C adapter boards that plug onto a board with pin headers, this product is meant for panel (enclosure) mounting and is connected with wires.

     The CC lines and the USB 3.x high-speed data lines are not brought out on the board. For this reason the socket does not perform USB PD (fast charge) negotiation, does not request higher voltages (9V, 12V, 20V) and does not transfer data at USB 3.x speed; it is meant for standard 5V supply and USB 2.0 data. The best use is with a USB-A to Type-C cable; a charger with a USB-C output or a computer's USB-C port may not supply power over a Type-C to Type-C cable.


Features:

• Product type:    Panel (enclosure) mount USB Type-C female socket, adapter board with solder pads
• Connection pads: 4 pcs - V (VBUS +5V), D-, D+, G (GND); pad names are printed on the board
• Data line: D+ and D- are brought out; suitable for a USB 2.0 data connection
• Supply: 5V USB supply
• Current: 3A maximum (socket and board rating; the current that can be drawn is set by the charger and the cable)
• USB PD: None; CC lines are not brought out, no fast charge negotiation
• USB 3.x: None; high-speed (SuperSpeed) data lines are not brought out
• Socket structure: Reversible (two-way) USB Type-C input, socket opening with metal frame
• Mounting: Screwed to a panel or enclosure through the 2 screw holes at the ends of the plate
• Screw hole: about 2.1mm (for M2 screws)
• Connection method: Wires are soldered to the pads on the rear board; no cable attached
• Recommended cable: USB-A to Type-C cable (power may not be supplied over a Type-C to Type-C cable, see Precautions)
• Waterproofing: No seal, not waterproof
• Board code: JRC-B008 (printed on the board)
• Material: FR4 mounting plate, metal socket body, blue pad board
• Colour: Mounting plate white or black (depending on production batch), pad board blue
• Dimensions: Plate 20mm x 6.7mm, total depth 14.5mm, pad board width 9.1mm
• Weight: about 1gr

Usage information:

• Cut an oval window for the socket opening in the enclosure and drill screw holes matching the two holes of the plate. Marking the dimensions by holding the product itself against the enclosure is the safest way.
• Solder the wires before mounting the socket in the enclosure: connect the V pad to the +5V input of your circuit and the G pad to GND. If you will use data, connect the D+ and D- pads to the USB D+ and D- lines of your board, without crossing them.
• After soldering, check with a multimeter that there is no short circuit between the V and G pads, then fix the socket to the enclosure with screws.

Applications:

•  USB-C charging / supply input for project boxes and device enclosures
•  Powerbank and lithium battery charging circuits
•  Programming Arduino and ESP32 boards inside a box from outside the enclosure (USB 2.0)
•  USB-C input instead of micro USB in Bluetooth speaker and headphone cases
•  Charging input for LED lamps, desk lamps and flashlights
•  USB connection for DIY keyboard and gamepad enclosures
•  Charging port for robots and remote controlled vehicles
•  USB input for measuring devices, test fixtures and control panels
•  Educational and hobby electronics projects

Precautions:

•  This socket is only for 5V supply and USB 2.0 data; it is not 100W. Because the CC lines are not brought out, USB PD fast charging (9V, 12V, 20V) does not work and data is not transferred at USB 3.x speed.
•  Chargers with a USB-C output, USB-C (PD) chargers and USB-C ports of computers do not put 5V on VBUS unless they see a 5.1k pull-down resistor on the CC line. As this resistor is not visible in the product photos, power may not be supplied over a Type-C to Type-C cable; use a USB-A to Type-C cable for power and programming.
•  The socket has no seal and is not waterproof. Extra protection is required in humid or outdoor environments.
•  Do not heat the pads for a long time; the plastic tongue of the socket and the pad board can be damaged by excessive heat. Tin the pads first and solder the wire quickly.
