IEC 62680-1-3:2024

IEC 62680-1-3:2024 This specification defines the USB Type-C® receptacles, plug and cables. The USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification is guided by the following principles: - Enable new and exciting host and device form-factors where size, industrial design and style are important parameters - Work seamlessly with existing USB host and device silicon solutions - Enhance ease of use for connecting USB devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion for plug and cable orientation The USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification defines a receptacle, plug, cable, and detection mechanisms that are compatible with existing USB interface electrical and functional specifications. This specification covers the following aspects that are needed to produce and use this new USB cable/connector solution in newer platforms and devices, and that interoperate with existing platforms and devices: - USB Type-C receptacles, including electro-mechanical definition and performance requirements - USB Type-C plugs and cable assemblies, including electro-mechanical definition and performance requirements - USB Type-C to legacy cable assemblies and adapters - USB Type-C-based device detection and interface configuration, including support for legacy connections - USB Power Delivery optimized for the USB Type-C connector The USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification defines a standardized mechanism that supports Alternate Modes, such as repurposing the connector for docking-specific applications. IEC 62680-1-3:2024 cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2022 and constitutes a technical revision. This standard is the USB-IF publication Universal Serial Bus Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Revision 2.3. New release primarily for deprecating the Audio Adapter Accessory Mode and replacing it with the Liquid Corrosion Mitigation Mode, and for updating the Multi-port Charger Shared Capacity definition and behaviors. Also includes incorporation of all approved ECNs as of the revision date plus editorial clean-up.
