 DigiKey and Adafruit bring you I on NPI that's right. All right, so this week Lady Aida we are going to show I on type C USB connectors This is actually a character that I've been hoping would exist soon I couldn't find it but then I saw pop up on digikey.com NPI their third new section and I was like, yes I want this USB Z on every board one. I have this one cable thing. It is what I want Okay, so what is this thing? So it's a USB type C connector and I wish you had a really good guide on USB type C it's a reversible connector for USB and The thing that's really cool about it is it can do like like fire wires type speeds It can do like plain USB. You can do up to 20 volts It's kind of really mashed everything into it The problem with that though is that to mash all these capabilities speeds power, you know, all that stuff There's like 24 pins on the typical Type C connector, which is quite a lot to solder So what I really like about this connector is it's a power only connector from Kui So if we look at the diagram You see it only has six SMT pads on it because they basically only connect to the power pins the V bus pins the ground pins And they have the CC1 and CC2 pins available But it's like super simple to the simplest type C connector you can get if you only want to get like power into your device so What's nice about this is that we can compare it to you here's another Kui part a 24 pin connector and I got a 3d rendering of it I also showed on the overhead and it's just got like a massive number of pins and so it's not really hand solderable It's not really workable like those pads are underneath the connector and also the cost is much higher like for character like this You know, you're gonna pay like $1.50 or $2 per whereas the power only connector is only like about 50 cents in quantity So let's go to the overhead We can take a look at these it's a simple and PI But you know what like if you need this kind of connector, you'll be like this is what folks are here for me They're like, yes, one. How do I find it? Where do I get it? What does it look like? So this is You know another connector with it's USB type C Also, you can see there's the USB type C, but it has every contact brought out and again It's gonna be a couple bucks because you have these inner connectors here then these outer connectors Everything is available You know the high speed lines the low speed lines all the power pens that Sideband pans. This is great if you're making, you know to invite advanced peripheral or a You know a computer that has to be able to handle all the different kind of peripherals plugged into it This one in comparison you see it's not only that it's smaller too. So you need less board size It's like the size of a micro Be connector and you only have the six pads to them a power to them a ground And then you have the cc1 and cc2 pins and the reason you need those pins is that you have to connect Resistors to them to indicate to the upstream power supplier. What kind of power you want? So we recommend you copy our schematic For two five point one K 1% resistors connect one to cc1 one of the cc2 connected to ground and this will basically tell the USB type C Controller, hey, I want you to provide me five volts, which is kind of standard if you want higher voltages It gets more complicated you get to kind of like negotiate the power delivery Specification, but if you just put these resistors on like bam, you're you've got five volt power You know half an amp to one and a half amps depending on what can be supplied. So super easy To use I really like this connector great price easy to use simple. I like the foo hole Connectors through to the PCB because that keeps it mechanically stable and some big chunky pads for power All right, so what do they get it? So you want to pick these up? These are new from CUI. I call them kui, but also just say CUI It's uh, you know, this is the part number. It's the 2223 UJCHP dash three SMT And then CT for cut tape ND is for digikey. So Oh, you go to the short URL and pro tip when you're on the digikey site There's a little share thing and it generates a short URL. Yes digikey.com Ford slash short Ford slash Z HT BW five and that's great because you can cut and paste that from the site Yeah, send it to yourself. I always drop it into like a text file or I'll drop it to something that syncs with my phone I'm gonna go look at it later Send it to you. You know, there's all sorts of things. Yes, so Available now go get it. Yeah now from and you think now that you know it exists when you do your design next time You do a design and you're like, well, I just want USB power I don't need data because it's you know, just something that's powered off of USB This is a great connector to source and use so you know, it's there for when you need it And that's on MPI
