TE Connectivity Waterproof IP68 Micro USB2.0 Connector

As consumer electronics are getting thinner and smaller, they are becoming increasingly vulnerable to water and dust. Being able to support electronic devices with waterproof and dustproof components is just as important as footprint compatibility. With this in mind, TE Connectivity (TE) introduces Waterproof IP68 Micro USB Connector Type B, designed to seal the connector perimeter preventing moisture and debris from penetrating inside the shell, supporting an improved user experience.
