Extended cover keeps USB drives sealed
Bulgin Components
USB Buccaneer
A new extended cover option for USB Buccaneer connectors allows industrial Flash drive sockets to maintain IP68 sealing when the drive is in place.
Bulgin's waterproof USB Buccaneer connectors have been used in many different areas and applications, and one of the most prominent is as a data download port.
In this application the panel connector is not always used with a mating connector, instead a USB Flash drive is connected to input or extract data from the equipment.
Some applications warrant the Flash drive being left in-situ, but this can compromise the integrity of the equipment's environmental sealing characteristics.
To overcome this Bulgin has a developed an extended cover that will maintain the IP68 sealing of this interface while the Flash drive remains connected.
The cover is suitable for use on all Buccaneer USB A type connectors: PX0842/A, PX0843/A, PX0845/A and PX0849/A.
Designed to accommodate a wide variety of USB Flash drives this simple accessory will find many uses where transportation of data and sealing integrity of the equipment are important considerations.
