With Intel contributing Thurbolt3 technology to the USB Association as the basic technology of USB4, the relationship between the USB Type-C interface and Thurbolt has deepened, and now there are also non-Intel platform terminal devices that comply with it. The Thurbolt3 technical specification clearly shows that the popularization of USB Type-C interface compatible with Thurbolt3 technology is just around the corner; Japanese company MinebeaMitsumi also announced the launch of the world's first USBType-C female socket that complies with the Thurbolt3 specification and is IP68 dustproof and waterproof. The model is CAM -L41.
▲The material, contacts and mechanism of the female socket are all enhanced to be waterproof
This connector not only has obtained official Thurbolt3 certification, but can also reach 40Gbps data transmission speed, charging, and imaging. Output and other specifications, thanks to the patented waterproof structure, the pins, shell, waterproof material and shielding design all meet the waterproof level, so that this connector can meet the IP68 specification of 1.5 meters and 30 immersed underwater in a compact size. The structural design also emphasizes balance. The terminal base is also structurally strengthened to prevent bending, and a gasket design is added to the terminal hole to further prevent the deformation of the outer frame of the female base. It also facilitates the alignment of the assembly with the opening of the shell. This waterproof motherboard The base also provides terminal contacts flush with the outer frame or protruding from the outer frame for different shell structures.
Although there are currently many high-end models that emphasize IP68 waterproof capabilities, the CAM-L41, which focuses on waterproof capabilities and has a compact design, should also be waterproofed in the future. The functions are used in some flagship phones.
