  • Patent number: 9907187
    Abstract: A PCB with two rows of solder pads including both SMT-based and DIP-based structures is configured to be mounted with a USB Type-C connector by soldering, has two rows of solder pads on its top side, and is characterized in that at least one solder pad in one of the rows is a DIP-based structure while the remaining solder pads in the same row are SMT-based structures, and that all the solder pads in each row that are used to transmit high-frequency signals are SMT-based structures. Once the connector is mounted to the PCB, an inspector can directly examine the soldering quality of the DIP-based-structure solder pad and of the corresponding connection terminal simply by inspecting the bottom side of the PCB. Moreover, since all the solder pads configured for transmitting high-frequency signals are SMT-based structures, better transmission will be provided to the connector, accordingly.
