JAE Waterproof USB Type-C DX07 Series

JAE has launched a waterproof USB Type-C receptacle to add to the DX07 Series line-up. Recently, the demand of waterproof performance has increased for applications such as high-end smartphones. Generally, for waterproof connectors with IPX7 rating or higher, potting (resin seal) is used for waterproofing. However, there were concerns of small gaps forming during reflow processes which expose the connector to high temperatures. The JAE product does not use the potting method in consideration of the reflow heat, and instead achieves waterproof performance by adopting a unique design and insert molding process.
