Reasons Why You Should Use USB Type-C Waterproof USB Type-C Connectors In Your Next Design

USB TYPE-C

Just when we thought we have finished exploiting the USB type-C connector, a new grand feature crops up. It is safe to say that USB-C already reigns in the arena of high-end smartphones and laptops. The USB-C was first adopted by Google and Apple but has since gained a lot of popularity which has seen its adoption extend to other smartphone manufacturers and other industries as well. What exactly made the USB-C move from a finalized spec in 2014 to be the most preferred cable in 2018? What is this grand feature that makes it even more appealing? Read on to find out more as we shed more light on the USB-C.

Technical features

The USB-C deliver the power of up 100 watts. It’s rated at between 3A and 5A hence it can comfortably handle up to 30V. It has 24 pins and a twofold rotational symmetrical connector. It is for this reason that it is able to connect to the host and device as well. This feature also enables the connector to be plugged in in any direction resulting in easy and reliable mating. It offers transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbits/s at full duplex.

Applications of the USB-C

Besides the applications that we are already familiar with like in smartphone and laptops, the USB-C is applied elsewhere including;
  • Agriculture
  • Portable devices
  • Data centers
  • Industrial automation
  • Marine electronics
  • Outdoor LED displays

Waterproof USB Type-C

USB type-C was designed in a manner that it is well suited for the industrial set up. As it was, it only needed to be sturdier to withstand harsh environment prevalent in industries. The best way to achieve was to make it waterproof so as to prevent the ingression of dust and water. With its growing adoption in many sectors including the marine industry, the introduction of waterproof USB-C has been termed by many as the turning point in the history of the USB protocol.
Just as you would expect, there already many manufacturers producing waterproof USB type-C connectors. All of these connectors exhibit typical USB-C features. Their differences lie in the waterproof rating. Some of the renowned manufactures producing waterproof connectors include TE Connectivity and Amphenol LTW

Summary

If your design demands and very versatile, efficient and sturdy cable, then you already know that USB-C has got you covered. You only need to check the datasheet of the various manufacturers to establish the connector that best matches your application.

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. The magnetic field i

LED Modules: Manufacturer,Types and Application

Image
LED Modules Light-emitting diodes (LED) modules are LED self-contained devices that are designed to either function on its own or to plug into a compatible unit. These modules are mostly used in the development of both energy-efficient and portable lighting.  An LED contains several LED bulbs that are connected to a fixture that contains a battery or an alternative power supply which powers all the bulbs contained therein. LED modules can either emit white light or emit different colours based on the material they are made of. They are prominently used for advertising and signages but could as well be used for other purposes due to their versatility. Types of LED modules There are a variety of LED modules available in the market. There no specific parameters that can be used to categorize LED modules . They can be categorized in terms of efficiency, form, CCT, colour among others. Some of the common ones used in signage and advertising include; Side LED modules

Block-chain: A Complete Beginners Guide | Block Chain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology Blockchain technology is barely three decades old, but it has completely changed global money transfer as we know it. It was first conceived in 1991 by a group of researchers who originally intended it to be used to timestamp digital documents to make it impossible to tamper with them. This concept was first put into actual use in 2009 by Satoshi Takamoto to create Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since spurred the adoption of  blockchain technology  for cryptocurrency, medical records, and land records among others.  What is blockchain? A blockchain is a network of computers that share a digital ledger that is duplicated and distributed across all participants in the network (nodes). That is to say that each node on the network has a duplicate copy of the ledger. The digital ledger keeps a chain of transactions since the creation of the network. The chain of transactions keeps growing as new blocks of transactions are approved and then added along. Before a new
