Rugged USB connectors

7 September 2016 Interconnection

Amphenol’s rugged USB connectors provide a cost effective option for harsh environments. These environmentally sealed connectors utilise high-temperature inserts and zinc die cast shells, and are available with non conductive and conductive sealing gaskets. They come in USB Type A, Type A over A stacked, Type B, Type Mini B and Type Mini AB, in both right angle and vertical orientations. A right angle Type Micro AB is also available.

There are also options to add cable headers, which simplifies the termination to the rugged USB internally within the enclosure. Adding a terminal block provides a simple means to convert field wiring to a sealed USB connector by simply connecting the individual conductors to the appropriate screw terminals on the terminal block.

An additional option is adding a standard USB. This option provides a sealed USB to the external environment with the convenience of still terminating the internal standard cable with the standard USB plug.

Adding the rugged USB to a PCB without any additional connectors allows the customer to solder discrete wires directly to the back of the rugged USB. There are dust covers available for all the rugged USB Types.
