This provides a more convenient charging method for many devices requiring high power, such as laptops and tablets. 5. Strong expandability: The Type-C interface supports various expansion functions, such as video transmission and audio output. Through adapters or converters, users can easily convert the Type-C interface into HDMI, VGA, audio interfaces, etc., to meet different usage needs. 6. Wide range of applications: Due to its excellent performance and convenience, the Type-C interface has been widely used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, game consoles, and many other devices. Furthermore, an increasing number of external storage devices and monitors are also adopting the Type-C interface.

[0003] Current Type-C connectors primarily consist of an insulating body, terminal blocks, and a shielding shell. The terminal blocks are mounted on the insulating body, and the shielding shell covers the insulating body. To enable compatibility with external devices, a raised section is typically integrated into the insulating body, allowing the connector to be mounted at a higher elevation. However, this design only accommodates one mounting height. When a different height is required, a completely different Type-C connector must be installed, resulting in poor versatility and inflexible, inconvenient use. Therefore, improvements to current Type-C connectors are necessary. Utility Model Content

The welding part 33 is used to attach and weld to the solder pads on the external circuit board.

[0040] The tail end of the connector body 20 is embedded in the groove 11 and is detachably connected and fixed to the riser 10 via a snap fastener. Multiple terminal solder feet 201 extend from the tail end of the connector body 20, and these terminal solder feet 201 pass through multiple terminal holes 12 and extend downwards to the bottom of the riser 10. In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​hole 202 is provided on the outer peripheral sidewall of the connector body 20, and this snap-fit ​​hole 202 engages with the snap fastener 13 for secure fastening. Specifically:

[0041] The connector body 20 includes an insulator 21, multiple terminals 22, and a shielding shell 23. The multiple terminals 22 are disposed outside the insulator 21, and the multiple terminal solder feet 201 are respectively located at the tail ends of the multiple terminals 22. The shielding shell 23 covers the insulator 21, and the snap-fit ​​hole 202 is located on the shielding shell 23. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​hole 202 penetrates the inner and outer walls of the shielding shell 23. A protruding buckle 211 is provided on the outer wall of the tail end of the insulator 21, which engages with the snap-fit ​​hole 202 for snap-fit ​​fixation.
