February 09, 2017 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking waterproof USB Type-C cables and connector from Amphenol LTW. These cables and space-saving receptacles provide data and power connectivity and transmission.
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 10 Gbps 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.
