USB Socket Type-C Panel Mount - 5 Wire

Details

Caution, this is a 5-wire socket, I’m not sure of the application for a 5 wire socket, it’s being cleared out at cost. See my 6-wire version which will be more adaptable in general.

This is a five wire panel mount USB Type-C connector

The five wires are as follows:

• Red – VBus (eg 5v)
• Green – B5 (CC2 for Sockets, VCONN for Plugs) 
• White – A7 and B7 (D- )
• Blue – A6 and B6 (D+)
• Black – Ground

The round screw/nut ones you will want a hole about 11 to 12mm wide and maximum panel thickness about 10mm.  The PH plug can be fed through the nut, just takes some ingenuity – bend the wires lengthwise along the plug and wiggle it through.

The rectangular push-in ones you will want a hole about 5mm high and 12mm wide, and your panel should be no more than 1-2mm thick I would say.

Why only 5 wires?

Simple answer is, I don’t know. I purchased these accidentally.  I don’t know why only one of the CC pins is wired.
