Reduces the risk of heat buildup and potential fire caused by liquid entering the connector, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability by preventing electrical short circuits and minimising the chances of overheating from moisture or fluid intrusion in the connection system.
Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Ltd. (JAE) has expanded its DX07 Series with a new waterproof receptacle connector compatible with the USB Type-C standard interface. This latest model is designed to mitigate the risk of short circuits caused by liquid ingress into the connector area, which can lead to excessive heat generation and, in extreme cases, fire hazards. The company has developed a connector that not only meets the IPX8 waterproof rating but also addresses the safety concerns associated with liquid exposure, such as overheating and short circuits.
Specifications include:
- Rated Current 5A maximum (Vbus, GND)
- Rated Voltage 48V r.m.s.
- Contact Resistance 40mΩ max. initial
- Dielectric Withstanding Voltage AC 100V r.m.s. (per minute)
- Insulation Resistance 100MΩ max. initial
- Operating Temperature Range -30°C～+85°C
- Durability 10,000 cycles
It offers good water resistance with a patented watertight structure that maintains stable, waterproof performance even after reflow processes. The connector is compatible with USB PD EPR, supporting up to 240W at 5A/48V. Its reversible plug structure allows for insertion and removal in any orientation. The internal connector structure has been redesigned to enhance short circuit resistance from liquid ingress, reducing the risk of heat generation and fire. A durable lock structure ensures longevity. This product is ideal for markets such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, wireless speakers, earphones, action cameras, and other compact portable devices.
The company has re-engineered the internal design to further reduce the risk of heat-related incidents caused by moisture in the mating area. By increasing the creepage distance between conductive components to approximately 2.3 times that of previous models, the product effectively minimizes the chances of short circuits, with a 30% reduction in moisture-induced shorts based on test results.
