Waterproof USB Type-C cables and connector shield connection from dirt and liquid immersion

The Amphenol LTW waterproof USB Type-C cables, available from Mouser Electronics, feature a waterproof USB Type-C connector on one end and a non-waterproof USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 Type-A connector on the other. The Type-C connector offers IP68-rated protection when mated, shielding the connection from dirt, dust, and long-term immersion in liquids. The cables support the USB 3.1 standard with a top speed of 10Gbps and 1A power supply (3A for the jack connector). The standard allows for bi-directional power, which makes these cables and jack a one-piece solution for the data and power transmission without the need for a separate power adapter. The connectors are suitable for a variety of applications in industrial and harsh environments, including data center, portable devices, automotive diagnostic and infotainment systems, marine electronics, and outdoor LED displays.
