    GARNER, N.C., 28 Jan. 2011. CONEC in Garner, N.C., is introducing a water-resistant rugged USB connector for harsh-environment applications in oil and gas exploration, factory automation, industrial production, chemical controllers, outdoor wireless, and test instruments.The water-resistant USB connector complies with USB 2.0, is IP67-rated, and has internal components housed in black plastic and nickel-plated zinc die-cast with a bayonet locking termination rated to IEC 61076-3-106 specifications. The IP67 USB connectors ensure a continuously secure dust and weatherproof connection in addition to being sealed for a watertight connection.The interface meets IP67 requirements when a mating connector is inserted or when covered with a secured protective cap. A USB 2.0 plug set is available for the cable side and there are also preassembled patch cords available in various IP protection designs and lengths.

    The USB connector contacts are phosphor bronze and gold-plated. Current ratings are 1.5 amps maximum at 25 degrees Celsius, and operating temperature ranges from -40 to 85 C.

    NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft sits in its run stall at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California, firing up its engine for the first time. These engine-run tests start at low power and allow the X-59 team to verify the aircraft’s systems are working together while powered by its own engine. The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA’s Quesst mission, which seeks to solve one of the major barriers to supersonic flight over land by making sonic booms quieter. NASA/Carla Thomas image.
