In applications such as smart wearables, medical devices, and outdoor electronics, waterproof performance and connection reliability have become critical factors when selecting connectors. Our Waterproof USB Type-C 16-Pin Connector is designed with an IPX7 waterproof rating and supports Vertical SMT mounting, delivering industrial-grade quality for reliable connectivity in demanding environments.
Key Advantages
1. IPX7 Waterproof Protection for Challenging Environments
1-Meter Water Immersion Protection
Certified to the IPX7 standard, the connector can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without water ingress.
Red Silicone Sealing Ring
A precisely engineered silicone sealing structure creates a 360° waterproof barrier, effectively preventing moisture and dust from entering the connector.
Dual Protection Against Water and Dust
Ideal for outdoor applications, bathrooms, industrial facilities, and other humid or dusty environments.
2. 16-Pin Dual-Row Gold-Plated Contacts for Stable Signal Transmission
Dual-Row 16-Pin Design
Provides more functional pins within a compact footprint while supporting high-speed USB 3.1 data transmission.
Gold-Plated Contact Technology
The contact surfaces are gold-plated to offer excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, and extended mating life.
High Electrical Conductivity
Manufactured with premium copper alloy materials to ensure efficient high-current transmission with minimal heat generation.
3. Precision Engineering with Industrial-Grade Quality
● Connector Type: USB Type-C 16-Pin
