USB Type C connectors line adds new waterproof and power-only models

Same Sky’s Interconnect Group has announced the continued expansion of its USB Type C connectors line with a range of new waterproof and power-only models. The UJ family now provides waterproof USB receptacles with IPX5, IPX6, IPX7, or IPX8 ratings, making them excellent for applications where moisture is a concern. This expansion includes new 90W power-only USB Type C receptacles, including IPX5-rated options. By removing the data transfer pins, the UJC models are a more cost-effective solution for designs where charging or power is the sole function.

Outside of the power-only connectors, this expansion comprises models conforming to the USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 standards with power delivery up to 240W at 48V and 5A. Housed in horizontal or vertical surface mount packages, these USB Type C receptacles deliver high reliability up to 10,000 mating cycles, and operating temperature ranges from -40C to 85C. The majority of models are reflow solder compatible, including the UJC-H-G-SMT-1-P6-TR-65, UJ32-C-H-G-SMT-4-P24-TR-68, UJ20-C-V-G-SMT-P16-TR-66, UJ20-C-H-G-MSMT-P16-TR-67, and UJ20-C-H-G-SMT-P16-TR-67 IP-rated parts using UV-glued O-rings capable of withstanding reflow solder temperatures.
