Effortless Type-C Power Modifications
This 6-pin Type-C receptacle simplifies device charging upgrades by omitting unnecessary data lines. When modifying older peripherals like wireless mice, mechanical keyboards, or retro gaming consoles, you only need power delivery, not data transfer. By isolating the layout to just VBUS, GND, and the two CC pins, this connector provides a much wider, easier-to-solder pitch compared to standard 16-pin or 24-pin Type-C jacks, drastically reducing the chance of accidental solder bridges during your DIY projects.
Industrial-Grade Durability & Secure Mounting
Engineered with a stainless steel front shell and high-quality copper alloy contacts, this connector guarantees a lifespan of over 10,000 insertion cycles. A common failure point in DIY USB-C mods is the port ripping off the PCB due to daily plug-and-unplug stress. To combat this, the receptacle features four robust through-hole mounting legs that anchor the shield deeply into your circuit board, providing superior mechanical strength while the 6 electrical pins remain surface-mounted (SMD) for easy soldering.
Pro Tip from Our Technicians
Always bridge the CC1 or CC2 pins to the Ground (GND) pin with a 5.1kΩ pull-down resistor if you want your modified device to charge using a smart USB-C to USB-C cable. Our Sham Shui Po DIY experts note that without this specific resistor, modern Power Delivery (PD) chargers will not detect the device and will refuse to output the required 5V power.

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
- Can I use this 6-pin connector for data transfer?No, this 6-pin connector only features VBUS, GND, and CC pins, making it strictly for power delivery and charging modifications, as it lacks the D+/D- pins required for data transfer.
- Is this connector surface-mount (SMD) or through-hole?The 6 electrical pins are surface-mount (SMD) for easy soldering, while the 4 outer metal shield legs are through-hole to provide enhanced mechanical stability on your PCB.
- Why isn't my modded device charging with a C-to-C cable?You must solder a 5.1kΩ pull-down resistor from the CC1/CC2 pins to the Ground pin to signal a smart USB-C charger to provide 5V power; otherwise, the charger will output nothing.
- Can I buy these in bulk at your Hong Kong store?Yes, we stock these Type-C soldering connectors in large quantities at our Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. physical store in Sham Shui Po for immediate pickup by local makers.
- What temperature should I use for reflow soldering this component?The high-temperature resistant UL94 V-0 plastic housing is designed to withstand IR reflow peak temperatures of 260°C for up to 10 seconds without melting.
