GCT USB4800 Elevated SMT 16-Pin USB Type-C Receptacle, available now from Mouser, is elevated 3.5mm above the PCB, providing the flexibility to use components with a 1.6mm or lower profile beneath the connector. This elevated configuration also offers cosmetic appeal when fitted in a typical chassis arrangement alongside other I/O products such as USB Type A and HDMI.

This top-mounted receptacle is rated at 5A and provides four through-hole shell stakes for outstanding PCB retention and stability. The receptacle has been tested to 10,000 cycles.

It is excellent for demanding applications such as portable electronics, audio equipment, EPOS systems, digital signage, gaming controllers, and more.
