Universal serial bus interfaces for data and power - Part 1-3: Common components - USB Type-C(r) cable and connector specification (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.

Interfaces de bus universel en série pour les données et l'alimentation électrique - Partie 1-3: Composants communs - Spécification des câbles et des connecteurs USB TypeC(r) (IEC 62680-1-3:2024)
IEC 62680-1-3: La présente spécification définit les fiches et embases, ainsi que les câbles USB Type-C®.
La spécification des câbles et connecteurs USB Type-C est guidée par les principes suivants:
- favoriser des critères de forme d'hôtes et dispositifs innovants et agréables, où la taille, la conception industrielle et le style constituent des paramètres importants;
- interagir en toute fluidité avec les solutions d'hôtes et de dispositifs USB silicium actuelles;
- améliorer la facilité d'utilisation pour la connexion des dispositifs USB, en réduisant autant que possible le risque de confusion lors de l'insertion des connecteurs et des câbles.
La spécification des câbles et connecteurs USB Type-C définit des techniques de connexion et de détection des embases, fiches et câbles USB, qui sont compatibles avec les spécifications électriques et fonctionnelles d'interface USB existantes. La présente spécification couvre les aspects suivants, qui sont nécessaires à la production et à l'utilisation de cette nouvelle solution de câble/connecteur USB pour les plateformes et dispositifs récents, et qui interagissent avec les plateformes et dispositifs actuels:
- les embases USB Type-C, notamment la description électromécanique et les exigences de performance;
- les fiches et les ensembles câble-connecteurs USB Type-C, notamment la description électromécanique et les exigences de performance;
- les ensembles câble-connecteurs et les adaptateurs USB Type-C pour la connexion avec les solutions existantes;
- la configuration d'interface et la détection des dispositifs USB Type-C, notamment la prise en charge des solutions de connexion existantes;
- le système USB Power Delivery optimisé pour les connecteurs USB Type-C.
La spécification des câbles et connecteurs USB Type-C définit un mécanisme normalisé qui prend en charge les modes alternatifs, comme la reconversion du connecteur pour un usage spécifiquement lié au branchement.
L’IEC 62680-1-3:2024 annule et remplace la cinquième édition parue en 2022 et constitue une révision technique. Cette norme est la publication de l'USB-IF relative au bus universel en série et à la spécification des câbles et connecteurs de Type-C, révision 2.3. Nouvelle version essentiellement destinée à déconseiller le Mode accessoire d'adaptateur audio et à le remplacer par le Mode inhibition de corrosion liquide, et à mettre à jour la définition et les comportements de la Capacité partagée des chargeurs multiports. Comprend également l'incorporation de l'ensemble des ECN approuvés à la date de revision.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition
to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly
Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate
in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also
participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services
carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other
damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising
out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s).
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof.
As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had received notice of (a) patent(s), which may be required to
implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information,
which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC shall not be held responsible
for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62680-1-2 has been prepared by technical area 18: Multimedia home systems and
applications for end-user networks, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia
systems and equipment. It is an International Standard.
The text of this standard was prepared by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). The structure
and editorial rules used in this publication reflect the practice of the organization which submitted
it.
