Why the Waterproofing Design of USB Type-C connector is very important?
With the penetration of small consumer electronic devices into all aspects of our life, products related to all aspects of life need to withstand the test of various harsh environments. The connectors of these products must have a protection function and ensure the integrity of signals. Waterproof USB type-c can meet the challenge when the equipment is splashed, overflowed, or even dropped into the water.
Consumer electronics now need to be equipped with higher-density components, transmit larger files, charge faster, and need to be used in worse environments. This means that traditional connectivity solutions cannot meet. Although universal serial bus (USB) and micro USB connectors have been the general standard choice for device connection since the 1990s, USB type-c is becoming the preferred connector for today's consumer products because it provides better performance in power and data transmission. Customers need a real ipx8 waterproof USB type-c connector (i.e. test to prevent water immersion up to 1m).
IPhone, Xiaomi Huawei, etc High-end mobile phones and other smartphone manufacturers are selling the water resistance of their products to consumers. Waterproof electronic components are a popular trend in the consumer equipment industry. Users can carry small electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches, so waterproofing is very important. This ideal performance is also applicable to other products, such as electric razors, electric toothbrushes, service point terminals, wearable devices, automobiles, and medical and industrial products. The last thing users want to worry about is the environmental sensitivity of electrical products, especially in the environment with water.
Another major trend is that products need to operate faster. Users want the product to transmit data faster. Since the power and data rate provided by USB type-c is 10 times that of the former, and the market is transitioning from MicroUSB to USB, the power and data rate provided by USB type-c is 10 times that of the former. For example, products with usb3.0microusb connectors can use 0.9A charging, while USB type-c connectors can use up to 5A charging. In addition, the micro USB data transfer rate is in the range of 5GB/s, but the USB type-c data transfer to another device will be very different.
