Type-C waterproof connectors have a growing demand in the market, as traditional USB solutions are no longer able to meet the demand for consumer products. Currently, the density of consumer products is increasing, and transmission requirements are increasing. The demand for power supply is also increasing, and it is required to be used in more environments. Type-C waterproof connectors effectively solve this problem.

The water depth for waterproof testing is determined based on the IP value designed for the type-c waterproof connector. For example, the testing depth of IP67 standard should be 1 meter and the pressure should be about 10kPa, but in actual testing, the pressure will be appropriately increased to 15kPa. The specific testing steps are: place the type-c waterproof connector to be tested in the fixture, press the start button, the cylinder will automatically press down, tighten the sealing ring, seal the side cylinder, and then start the air tightness tester. The instrument will automatically test according to the set parameters. As soon as the testing time arrives, the screen will display the leakage value of the tested product, and the alarm indicator light will indicate whether it is qualified. After the experiment, the cylinder automatically lifts and the operator takes out the product.

In the process of testing type-c waterproof connectors, relevant Chinese standards should be followed to ensure that the allowable leakage does not exceed 0.05KPa. The intake time is 2 seconds, the stabilization time is 2 seconds, the testing time is 5 seconds, the exhaust time is 1 second, and the overall testing time is controlled within 10 seconds. If the detected leakage value exceeds the standard, the alarm indicator light of the airtightness tester will light up, reflecting that the USB connector manufacturer's product is not qualified. When the qualification rate of the waterproof test is lower than the standard requirements, the manufacturer needs to recheck the structural design and production process of the type-c waterproof connector to further improve the waterproof and airtightness of the product.

Type-c waterproof connectors can be applied to smart phones, PC/tablets, televisions, wearable, in car, artificial intelligence, machine vision, robot high-precision weapons, mobile interconnection, home, audio products, Bluetooth headphones, multimedia audio, digital products, communication devices, in car phones, household appliances, medical devices, and other series.

Environmental protection requirements: In order to provide the environmental protection required by users, type-c waterproof connectors need to have rubber seals and seamless shells to be waterproof, and these connectors should have IPX8 waterproof performance (according to IEC 60529), and should have sufficient durability to be able to be plugged and unplugged thousands of times. The commonly added fixed function of circuit boards helps to achieve a robust design of waterproof type-c connectors, providing high reliability and quality to meet the challenges of faster interfaces. After the introduction of waterproof connectors, industry professionals believe that this new interface will bring new electronic connection modes.
