The USB Type-C Receptacle and Plug Lead Free Version connectors are designed for cable mounting (plugs) and printed circuit board mounting (receptacles). They are constructed with a copper alloy for contacts, featuring gold over nickel plating in the contact area and gold flash plating on the solder area, all over nickel plating. The housing is made of UL94V-0 rated thermoplastic.
