As the name suggests, explosion-proof keyboards are a special class of keyboards designed for use in high-risk scenarios to prevent the danger of explosions. It is often made of high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, sealed materials that can work in flammable and explosive environments for greater safety. A good horse with a good saddle, the harsh explosion-proof keyboard is of course also to use can be used in harsh environments peacefully, highly reliable, highly resistant industrial grade connector products.
New LP20-USB series industrial grade connectors for explosion-proof keyboards
The USB connector used on the explosion-proof keyboard is used for data transfer between the keyboard and peripheral devices to realize the data exchange and signal transmission between the explosion-proof keyboard and the computer or other control systems. For example, the keyboard key signal transmission to the computer or device to ensure that the key input can be accurately received and respond. Due to the consideration of explosion-proof keyboard for special environmental use of high-demand equipment, its matching connector to meet the waterproof, corrosion-resistant, durable and other series of stringent requirements, so more industrial grade connectors to interoperate with each other to use.
Recently CNLINKO released a new industrial grade USB connector--LP20-USB series industrial grade waterproof connector. This new product has a smaller size, equipped with USB2.0 & USB3.0 high-speed interface, to meet the requirements of IP68 waterproof, high corrosion and other requirements, is a complex and harsh environments and small space under the conditions of connection to achieve high-speed data connectivity and fast operation of the program of choice. Because of this, this new USB industrial grade connector once listed in the explosion-proof keyboard field set off a great craze.
What are the advantages of the new LP20-USB series connectors on explosion-proof keyboards?
01 Compact form factor “fits” the limited height of the explosion-proof keyboard.
Explosion-proof keyboards are small in overall size and limited in height, so the matching connector has to be as small as possible in cross-section to be used. CNLINKO's M20 size USB connector is smaller and more compact, and can match the limited space available for the external connector on the back of the explosion-proof keyboard.
02 IP68 flagship waterproof, no fear of splashes and moisture
Explosion-proof keyboards are used in petroleum, well mining, refrigeration and other fields, where water and moisture can be a constant attack. This new USB connector from CNLINKO has a flagship waterproof rating of IP68 in the overall docking state, and the other side of the waterproofing can also reach IP68, so that in the above environment, there is no need to worry about the water from the connector's mating or structural part of the water into the use.
03 Flame retardant and anti-corrosion, suitable for harsh application environments
For the mines, petrochemicals and other environments where explosion-proof keyboards are used, flame retardancy and corrosion resistance are almost rigid requirements, which are the positioning and functional requirements of the explosion-proof keyboard itself. The shell of this connector from CNLINKO is made of imported plastic material from Saber Basis, which has high strength and more stable performance. It can meet the requirements of high and low temperature resistance (-25℃~+85℃); f1 grade plastic anti-UV; anti-corrosion salt spray test time ≥48H; flame retardant UL94V-0 grade, so it can be used in the environment where explosion-proof keyboards are used.
04 Adopts gold-plated high-speed interface, keyboard data transmission in seconds without delay
Inputting commands through the keyboard and transmitting them to other systems or devices via the USB connector can be devastating if there is a delay or lag, and it can cause accidents in industrial and mining operations if there is such a problem. Adopting the LP20-USB connector of CNLINKO, there is no need to worry about this, because its contacts are 6u “gold-plated, more stable, and there are USB2.0 and USB3.0 models, the former transfer rate of 480Mbps, the latter transfer rate of 5Gbps, to meet the user's requirements for high-speed data transmission, do not have to worry about delays and other problems affecting the use of the user.
05 Plug and play, faster connection and disassembly, convenient maintenance
When explosion-proof keyboards are used with industrial computers and other supporting equipment, if a fault occurs, maintenance personnel will often unplug the USB connector to determine where the problem is. This USB connector is very convenient and efficient. Because it uses a snap-on direct connection, it can be operated with one hand, plugged and unplugged with one button, plug and play, which is very simple and efficient. Whether it is installation or subsequent maintenance of the equipment, it is a very efficient and fast use experience.
