“The expansion of the USB marketplace and continued growth has significantly impacted the packaging and interfaces of USB connectors,” said Peter Persico, technical support specialist at CONEC. “In order to address the harsh environment industry, CONEC expanded its IP67 family to include USB connectors that are robust enough to withstand the most extreme environments.”
CONEC’s water-resistant USB products feature robust internal components housed in black plastic and nickel-plated zinc die-cast with a bayonet locking termination rated to IEC 61076-3-106 specifications.
