Based on the part number provided, the **JPA2-16-R** is a high-performance, shielded, right-angle surface mount (SMT) **USB Type-C Connector**. It is commonly used in consumer electronics for power delivery and high-speed data transfer. Below is a breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | USB Type-C (Female/Receptacle) | | **Pin Count** | 16-Pin (Optimized for Charging & USB 2.0/3.0) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle / Horizontal | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) + Mid-Mount/Hybrid | | **Current Rating** | 3.0A to 5.0A (Varies by pin configuration) | | **Voltage Rating** | 20V DC | | **Data Rate** | Supports USB 2.0 / USB 3.1 Gen 1/2 | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features * **16-Pin Configuration:** Unlike the full 24-pin USB-C connectors, the 16-pin version usually removes the high-speed differential pairs not required for standard charging and USB 2.0 data, making it more cost-effective and easier to solder while still supporting **USB Power Delivery (PD)**. * **EMI/RFI Shielding:** The "R" in the suffix often denotes a specific packaging (Reel) or a revised shielding design. The metal shell provides grounding points to reduce electromagnetic interference. * **Durability:** Designed for high insertion cycles (typically 10,000 cycles), featuring high-temperature thermoplastic housing to withstand reflow soldering temperatures. --- ### 3. Pinout Functional Groups | Group | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **VBUS** | Power | Main power line for charging and operation. | | **GND** | Ground | Return path for power and signal shielding. | | **CC1/CC2** | Configuration | Used for cable detection and Power Delivery negotiation. | | **D+/D-** | Data | Differential pair for USB 2.0 data transfer. | | **SBU1/SBU2**| Sideband | Used for alternate modes (e.g., Audio/Video) if supported. | --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Mobile Devices:** Smartphones, tablets, and handheld consoles. * **Peripherals:** Power banks, keyboards, and external hard drives. * **IoT Hardware:** ESP32/Arduino development boards requiring Type-C power. ---
