With the advancement of technology, the application of connectors in various fields is becoming increasingly widespread. Among them, some connectors work in environments that are safe, humid, and far from water sources. However, there are also a large number of connectors that need to operate in water environments for a long time, such as cruise ships, aviation equipment, industrial equipment, cables, and sprinkler trucks. This application scenario has given rise to a demand in the market for special connectors that can maintain normal functionality in water environments, and waterproof USB connectors are a typical representative of such products, widely used in various consumer electronics products.
To ensure that the waterproof USB connector maintains its waterproof performance during use, the following points should be noted:
1、 Anti impact and drop: The equipment should be protected from strong impact or drop to prevent damage to the internal structure of the connector, which may affect its sealing performance.
2、 Dust prevention and safety measures: When the USB waterproof connector is in a separated state, a protective cover should be installed or other dust prevention measures should be taken. For long-term use, a safety device needs to be installed between the plug and socket.
3、 Cleaning and chemical use: When cleaning the waterproof USB connector, a silk cloth dipped in anhydrous ethanol can be used for wiping, and the silk cloth can be reused after drying. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid using certain chemicals such as acetone.
4、 Power on and connection safety: Power on is strictly prohibited until the waterproof USB connector is properly connected or fully locked. In fixed and wire harness clamping situations, if threaded connections are used, anti loosening devices should be equipped.
