Waterproof industrial RJ45 Ethernet panel mount connectors from Live Electronics

Manufactured by GT Contact, the new connectors are rated to IP68, provide fast data transfer Cat6 speeds and are available with a wide range of options. This makes them ideal for use in equipment designed for demanding industrial applications, from factory-floor automation and control, to chemical, offshore and marine equipment.

The new connectors are available with either thermoplastic (PA66) housings, which offer IP67 protection, or metal (nickel-plated copper alloy) housing, with IP68 protection. All the panel mount connectors are rear potted to maintain the integrity of the panel seal even when the connector is unmated; sealing caps are also available if required.

Gold plated contacts are used throughout, for optimum and consistent data transfer speeds, with EMI/FRI shielding being fitted as standard.

 

The new RJ45 connectors are available with a choice of options, for example being supplied as a coupler or with PCB-mount or pig-tail terminations. The connectors are designed for 20.75mm diameter or 20.75 x 19.2mm D-style panel cut-outs, with a choice of bayonet or screw connections.

Luke Hartley, Managing Director of Live Electronics, explains

“GT Contact is a specialised manufacturer of high performance water and weather-proof connectors. Their products are used in some of the most challenging industrial applications around the world, where they have built an outstanding reputation for quality, reliability and, where required, compliance.”

Rugged IP67 & IP68 USB-C connectors from GT Contact

Waterproof IP-rated USB-C connectors

New from Live Electronics is the latest range of rugged waterproof USB-C connectors.  Manufactured by GT Contact, the new connectors meet IP67 and IP68 specifications, are available with tough thermoplastic (IP67) or metal (IP68) housings, and in a choice of panel mount, cable mount or cable to cable (in-line) versions.   

The new USB-C connectors have been designed for use in a wide range of demanding industrial and process applications, from oil and gas, marine and transport, to power generation, industrial controls and robotics or automation systems. 

The new connectors incorporate screw or bayonet twist and lock couplings, for 16mm panel cut-outs.  Metal versions feature high quality nickel-plated zinc-alloy bodies, with gold-plated stainless-steel connector housings and gold-plated copper-alloy contacts for optimum signal integrity and long-term reliability. 

Panel mount versions can be supplied as DIP pin or be pre-wired with USB-C plug or socket terminations, while rear potting ensures that system electronics are fully protected, even when the USB-C connector is unmated or the optional sealing cap is removed.  Data transfer speeds are typically up to 10Gbps and operating temperatures are from -40°C to +85°C. 

Luke Hartley, Managing Director of Live Electronics, explains that,

“Although we already have an extensive range of rugged USB connectors, many of our OEM customers require IP67 and IP68 rated USB-C devices for the latest generation of electronic systems that are designed for use in particularly demanding applications.  With our long-standing relationships with leading electronic component manufacturers around the world we’ve been able to source what we believe is an outstanding range of tough USB-C connectors, which we can supply in a wide choice of variants to meet almost all customer needs.”
