——Excellence Tech Electronics' Professional Waterproof Solutions Empower Harsh Environments


As electronic devices expand into demanding scenarios (e.g., outdoor operations, automotive systems, industrial environments), waterproof capabilities for Type-C interfaces have become an industry imperative. As a professional manufacturer in Type-C connector solutions, Dongguan Excellence Tech Electronics Co., Ltd. delivers IP67/IP68-rated waterproof Type-C solutions through innovative design and precision engineering, empowering clients to overcome equipment reliability challenges.



I. Core Challenges in Waterproofing Type-C Interfaces

Waterproof design for Type-C interfaces presents significantly higher difficulties than traditional USB ports due to:

  1. Complex Structure: 24-pin high-density layout requiring isolation of each contact from external environments.

  2. Frequent Mating Cycles: Mechanical friction during daily use may compromise sealing integrity.

  3. Extreme Conditions: Automotive/industrial applications face temperature extremes (-40℃~85℃) and high-pressure water exposure.



II. Excellence Tech's Waterproof Type-C Solutions

1. Multi-Layer Sealing Architecture

  • Layer 1: Housing Seal
    Silicone gaskets embedded via integrated injection molding block liquid ingress through housing gaps.

  • Layer 2: PCB Protection
    Potting compounds (e.g., epoxy resin) fully encapsulate solder joints to prevent moisture penetration.

  • Layer 3: Contact Protection
    Gold-plated terminals with nano-hydrophobic coating minimize oxidation in humid environments.



2. Key Technological Innovations

  • Pressure-Resistant Housing: Stainless steel housing + TPE elastomer withstands 10Bar pressure testing (IP68).

  • Self-Cleaning Slot: Internal drainage channels expel debris/liquid during mating cycles.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Passes 48hr salt spray testing (ASTM B117) for marine/automotive use.
