DIY USB-C Solder Connector Kit

This two-piece set provides a USB Type-C male plug and a female socket, each mounted on an 18-pin printed circuit board for hand soldering. It is intended for engineers, hobbyists or repair technicians who build custom cables or replace damaged ports on laptops, tablets or phones. Proficiency in manual soldering is required to use the connectors.

Sustained Power and Data Handling

The PCB pinout supports up to 65 W of power delivery at 20 V 3.25 A when paired with a compatible 65 W source and device, allowing continuous charging during operation. Data throughput is rated at 10 Gbps under the USB 3.1 specification, with backward compatibility to USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 speeds for legacy peripherals.

18-Pin PCB Pinout for Type-C

The decisive specification is the 18-pin board layout that breaks out the full Type-C 10 Gbps and 65 W capability for soldering. Builders who need a ready-made cable assembly or a connector without soldering will not be served by this kit.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 18-pin PCB handle when running a 65W laptop all day?

The connector is rated for DC 20V 3.25A throughput with a 65W input, so it can sustain that load continuously as long as your solder joints and cable gauge are adequate.

What tools and parts must I already have to use these solder-type connectors?

You need a temperature-controlled soldering iron, fine solder, flux, wire strippers, and the cable you intend to terminate; the package only supplies the male and female plugs with the 18-pin PCB.

Will the 10Gbps-rated USB 3.1 interface work with my older USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices?

Yes, the connector is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed at 480Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed at 1.5Mbps, so legacy peripherals will function at their native speeds.
