Industrial USB connectors
23 June 2010
Interconnection
Tyco Electronics has extended its series of industrial USB connectors (IP65/IP67 ODVA), with the introduction of a new series of IP20 variants that feature an integrated locking mechanism with audible and tactile feedback. The connectors are suitable for all industrial USB applications where a high locking force is required. They are designed to interconnect microcontrollers with mechatronic links and I/O interfaces in industrial automation technology, mechanical engineering (eg, connecting panels) and plant engineering. Typical applications include industrial PC solutions, control and automation, inverters and robotic applications, as well as fieldbus systems.
The industrial USB connector series is based on the USB (type A) connector system and meets USB 2.0 transmission specifications. The devices can be used in multiple rows (they are equal in height), have four solder connections and are compatible with standard USB sockets (type A). To ensure proper locking, the mating sockets are available in a single- and double-row design. The sockets must protrude from the housing in order to provide secure interlocking. The devices are also PCB-mount compatible.
