Defined mechanical scope
The specification addresses locking plug configurations and the position of mounting screw holes relative to a Type-C receptacle. It complements the broader Type-C Cable and Connector Specification rather than replacing it.
Suitability depends on the application
A screw-lock mechanism can be relevant where connection retention is a design requirement. Teams still need to evaluate enclosure space, user access and the complete electrical and mechanical interface for each application.
Why the update matters
The update illustrates how connector reliability can include mounting and retention details, not only electrical ratings. Ordinary wall outlets do not inherently require the locking configurations covered by this specialized specification.
