The Amphenol USB Field is a robust USB 2.0 connection system designed for harsh environments. It transforms standard USB cordsets into ruggedized connectors, offering superior protection against fluids, dust, shock, vibration, and traction. Key features include IP67 sealing, tool-free field assembly, and mechanical coding for polarization. The system utilizes a MIL-DTL-38999 series III type Tri-Start Thread coupling mechanism for secure mating. Applications include embedded computers, data acquisition, and transmission systems in demanding sectors like railways, battlefield communication, and navy systems.
