TE Connectivity - Connectors IP68 Micro USB 2.0 Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) IP68 Waterproof Micro USB 2.0 Connectors provide stronger protection for today's smaller and thinner mobile devices against damage caused by underwater submersion and solid objects such as dust. TE's waterproof micro USB connectors use a metal injection molded (MIM) shell to achieve the IP68 standard. The stainless steel metal injected shell replaces the traditional stamped and formed shell to provide the best possible strength against wrenching and false insertion and reduces the shell height by 0.3mm.

Features

  • Dimension H 3.04mm x W 17.8mm (with ears) x D 7.9mm
  • Staggered contact provides improved signal separation as well as enhanced mechanical stability
  • The MIM shell provides the lowest height possible with the metal shield and waterproof structure integrated in one piece; it provides a strong structure — a 3D-molded structure
  • Equipped with an undercut matching the plug latches, the connector keeps the plug mated like the normal micro USB connector
  • The metal reinforcement plate prevents damage to the plastic tab containing the contacts inside the connector and helps prevent electrical short circuits
  • The circular interface to the main shell allows for easy integration of the connector in a device
  • Screw mounting ears make it easier to integrate and position the connector in the final application
