JST, Waukegan, Illinois, has recently introduced a new Sealed Micro USB connector that provides a space saving and low profile interface connection for cellular phone and mobile equipment conforming to Micro-USB standard with a IPX7 sealing rating (water tight for 30min to a depth of 1m).

The Sealed Micro USB connector ensures the waterproof performance of IPX7 by using the gasket and the cured resin. The low profile height of only 3.4mm (0.13”) is achieved by having the rubber seal directly around the shell. The rugged construction includes a laser welded joint around the shell that provides strength against wrenching.

This low-profiled SMT connector is RoHS compliant. Rated at 30V AC/DC and available in five circuits, the signal contacts are rated at 1A AC/DC. When applying power, the signal lines are rated 0.5A AC/DC and the power contacts are rated at 1.8A AC/DC.

The Sealed Micro USB connector has an operating temperature of -30 to +85°C including temperature rise when applying an electrical current. The PCB mounted contacts are made of copper alloy, nickel under plating and gold plating. The housings are UL94V-0, thermoplastic resin. The shell is stainless steel, nickel base, tin plated and the shell cover is cooper alloy, nickel base, tin plated.
