TE Connectivity 2398010-2 is a USB Type-C vertical male connector assembly with a B-Code configuration. Its official specifications identify USB 3.1 Gen 1, 22 positions, one port, and a cable-mount configuration. It is intended for the development of connection assemblies that meet the relevant interface requirements.

For customers requiring white USB Type-C cables, a finished-cable solution can be evaluated around this connector, with cable length, jacket color, opposite-end interface, termination method, and complete-cable testing defined according to equipment requirements. Product selection should be based on TE Connectivity's official drawings and complete technical specifications.

The TE Connectivity 2398010-2 features a B-Code configuration and a cable-mount, free-hanging design, providing a connector selection basis for USB Type-C cable assembly development. Checking official drawings, mechanical construction, connection orientation, and mating interfaces helps reduce model confusion and selection errors.

For customized white USB Type-C cables, specifications should also define cable length, outside diameter, jacket color, opposite-end interface, conductor construction, shielding, and termination requirements. The design must be evaluated against the target equipment's installation environment and electrical needs. For OEM customization and wholesale procurement, the complete technical specification and appropriate sample testing should be used to verify the finished cable's suitability and performance.

Product Features

B-Code Configuration

The 2398010-2 uses a B-Code configuration, allowing engineers to identify the specific model through its complete part number and official product drawings. Verifying the code is an important part of interface selection and helps distinguish product configurations while maintaining consistent model information during purchasing, assembly, and quality inspection.

22 Contact Positions

The official specification identifies 22 positions for this model. Position count is an important parameter for identifying the connector configuration, but it should not be equated directly with the number of conductors actually used or the number of functions supported.

Cable-Mount, Free-Hanging

This model features a cable-mount, free-hanging construction for integration into cable assemblies designed accordingly. In practical applications, cable retention, connector strain relief, and mechanical protection should be determined according to equipment layout to prevent external pulling forces from acting directly on the termination area.

Typical Applications

◆ Automotive Electronic Data Connections

Subject to system design and performance validation, a cable assembly using this connector can be evaluated for suitable automotive wired-connectivity projects, such as USB data connections between infotainment modules, control units, or other electronic devices. The actual application depends on equipment interfaces, internal cable construction, and complete-cable validation results.

◆ Commercial Electronic Equipment Connectivity

In commercial electronic equipment that meets the relevant USB interface and electrical requirements, this connector can be considered as part of a cable-assembly design. Engineers can evaluate its suitability for the target system based on equipment interfaces, installation positions, and cable-routing requirements.

◆ Customized Harnesses and OEM Projects

Equipment manufacturers and wiring harness integrators can evaluate customized cable solutions around this connector, including cable length, jacket color, opposite-end interface, and termination requirements. The configuration should be determined from equipment drawings and electrical requirements, then validated through samples before volume production.

Product FAQ

What Is the Difference Between B-Code and A-Code ?

B-Code and A-Code are identifiers used to distinguish specific connector product configurations. TE Connectivity's official description identifies 2398010-2 as B-Code, while 2398010-1 corresponds to A-Code. Although both products belong to a similar USB Type-C connector category, this does not establish direct interchangeability.

During selection, verify the complete part number, official drawings, mechanical mating, and electrical assignments against the equipment requirements. Different coded models should only be considered as substitutes after the relevant interface requirements have been confirmed.

Why Do 22 Positions Not Necessarily Mean 22 Actual Conductors ?

The 22 positions identify the number of contact positions defined in the connector specification; they do not directly represent the number of conductors installed in a complete cable. The contacts actually used, their connections, and their signal functions must be determined from product drawings, the cable wiring diagram, and the equipment design.

When customizing a USB Type-C cable, define the required contact connections, internal cable construction, and termination method, then perform the appropriate tests for the intended functions.

Does a White USB Type-C Cable Indicate Specific Performance ?

White is an appearance attribute of a cable and does not indicate its data-transfer rate, power capability, or shielding performance. Even when two cables share the same interface and color, their internal conductors, differential pairs, impedance, shielding, and termination methods may differ.

Purchasing specifications should define color separately from electrical-performance requirements, with actual capabilities confirmed through complete-cable specifications and test results. A white jacket should be accepted against an appearance standard and approved sample.

Does Premier Cable Offer Wholesale and OEM Services ?

Premier Cable can evaluate connector integration, custom cable assemblies, OEM manufacturing, and volume procurement according to project requirements.
