2137160001

USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies Overview

The Molex 2137160001 is a USB Type-C receptacle connector designed for USB 2.0 applications. It features a 24-position configuration with 16 signal contacts and 8 dummy pins, utilizing a through-hole right-angle mounting style. The connector supports a rated voltage of 30VDC and current ratings of 0.5A, 1.25A, or 5A depending on the specific contact arrangement. It includes board guide rails for precise alignment during assembly. The housing is constructed from black UL94 V-0 rated material, while the shell and shield are made of stainless steel to provide electromagnetic interference protection.

USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order quantity matches the required packaging format, as this component is available in tape and reel or cut tape configurations. Confirm that the receiving facility has the appropriate handling procedures for surface-mount components. Ensure that the procurement documentation explicitly references the full part number 2137160001 to avoid confusion with similar series connectors. Check for any recent supply chain notifications regarding lead times.

USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, shielded USB Type-C receptacle is required for USB 2.0 signaling. The through-hole mounting option makes it suitable for boards where SMT reflow is not preferred or possible. Consider the 24-position layout if dummy pins are needed for structural support or specific mating requirements. Ensure the application environment falls within the -30°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies Part Context

This connector belongs to the Molex 213716 series, which focuses on USB Type-C solutions. It is distinct from high-speed USB 3.x variants by its USB 2.0 specification rating. The right-angle orientation differentiates it from vertical mount counterparts, offering flexibility in device enclosure design. It serves as a standard interface solution for legacy and low-power modern devices.

USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the USB Type-C form factor, 24-position count, and right-angle through-hole mounting. Verify compatibility of the board guide rail dimensions with existing PCB footprints. Ensure equivalent shielding effectiveness and current ratings if power delivery is involved. Cross-reference with other Molex series parts only if they share identical mechanical and electrical specifications.
