High-power USB Type-C socket saves space not functionality in portable designs

The USB4205 and USB4210 USB Type-C® receptacles from Global Connector Technology feature an innovative flag-type design with sideband contacts for audio accessory and alternate modes.

The USB4205 and USB4210 flag-type USB Type-C receptacles from Global Connector Technology offer a space-saving solution for USB 2.0 connectivity. The USB4205 and USB4210 have a mounted height above the PCB of 9.89 mm and 12.5 mm respectively. This is measured from the top surface of the PCB to the top edge of the connector. 

The USB4205 and USB4210 flag-type connectors feature SBU1 and SBU2 sideband pins that enable designers to use these receptacles for additional connectivity beyond the functions specified in the USB 2.0 standard. These alternate modes include USB4®, DisplayPort, HDMI, MHL and Thunderbolt over USB Type-C interface, in addition to audio adaptor accessory mode. 

The USB4205 and USB4210 flag-type receptacles are installed using 16 surface-mount contact pins and four through-hole shell stakes, with two locating pegs for easy alignment on the PCB.
