Waterproof USB Conectors

Amphenol USB

Amphenol has taken standard USB connector and embedded it into rugged waterproof circular Military connector housings primarily from the MIL-C-26482 & MIL-DTL-38999 Series. There is now also a transversally sealed version available that stops water ingress even when not connected to a mating plug or protective cover.

The most popular series is the USBTV which uses D38999 shells.
