TYPE-C14P Side-Mounted Female Connector for Lenovo Tianjiao 45W Charger
TYPE-C14P Side-Mounted Connector Application Case Study: Innovative Design of Lenovo Tianjiao Original 45W Charger
With the widespread adoption of USB Type-C interfaces, their application in charging devices continues to deepen. The Lenovo Tianjiao original 45W charger, leveraging its unique TYPE-C14P side-mounted connector design, exemplifies a balance of portability, safety, and user experience. This article analyzes the innovations of this product from technical features, design advantages, and practical application scenarios1.
Technical Features of TYPE-C14P Side-Mounted Connector
The TYPE-C14P is a horizontally inserted female connector. Compared to traditional vertical plugging, its core advantages lie in space optimization and structural stability
Physical Structure Adaptation
The TYPE-C14P side-mounted connector adopts a compact design (height: 10.0mm) and reinforced housing (CH7.2), supporting lateral installation to meet space constraints in slim chargers1. Its dual-pin plug with reinforced pillars enhances plug stability and reduces contact failure risks1.
Electrical Performance Compatibility
The Lenovo Tianjiao 45W charger delivers outputs including 20V/5A, 15V/3A, and 9V/3A, fully compliant with PD 3.0 standards1. The 14P receptacle supports USB-C protocols, enabling 45W power delivery (e.g., 20V/2.25A) for high-voltage/high-current demands
II. Application Scenarios and Safety Features
Equipment Compatibility Range
Compatible with Lenovo Tianjiao series laptops, ThinkBook 14/15 models, and other Type-C devices supporting PD protocols (e.g., phones, tablets)2.
Requires 5A E-Marker certified cables to ensure full 45W power delivery
Safety Protection Design
The connector housing utilizes high-temperature-resistant engineering plastics, capable of withstanding prolonged high-load operating temperatures to mitigate overheating risks17.
It synergizes with the charger's built-in overvoltage/overcurrent protection mechanisms to ensure interface reliability and safety14.
Practical Application Suggestions
Installation Considerations
Maintain horizontal alignment during PCB soldering to prevent uneven pin stress and cold solder joints18.
