USB Type-C Board Mount Receptacle - Female SMD

As Makers, we all love to be able to fix things when they break, and we understand the true value of knowing how to repair and maintain our Electronics, as these skills help to not just save us on unnecessary expenses, but also ensure that we can get our favourite machines and projects back into working order with minimal downtime when things go wrong. This is why we’re always on the lookout for Prototyping goodies like these USB Type-C Board Mount Receptacles, which are Female SMD components that are stocked to help you repair, maintain and prototype with USB Type-C ports, offering a handy board-to-wire interface that relies on one of the most impressive USB standards to date.

Although these receptacles are primarily stocked for repairs and maintenance on Controller Boards and electronics modules, we can’t help but consider all of the cool possibilities for how we can use these for prototyping our own custom projects. With that in mind, if you’ve been eager to get your project connected up with the ever-impressive USB Type-C interface, or if you just want to repair a faulty or damaged USB Type-C receptacle on one of your boards or modules, these simple components (along with some SMD soldering skills) are all you need. Just remember, however, that USB Type-C is not necessarily easy to solder due to the vast number of tiny pins, but if you think you’re up for the challenge then you can certainly save yourself some time and money on repairs by simply repairing or installing these little receptacles yourself – As is the True Way of the Maker.
