USBF TV
USB Connection System for
Harsh Environment
Description
USB Field allows you to use a standard USB 2.0 connection
in harsh environments :
• Sealed against fluids and dusts (IP67)
• Shock, Vibration and Traction resistant
• No cabling operation in field and no tools required
• Mechanical Coding / Polarization (2 positions)
• Improved EMI protection
With USB Field, you can insert
a standard USB 2.0 cordset
into a metallic plug which will protect it from shocks, dust and
fluids.
No hazardous in-field cabling and grounding !
Transform your USB
cordset into a Harsh
Environment Connector !
This metallic plug is connected into a receptacle, using a Tri
Start Thread coupling mechanism (MIL-DTL-38999 series III
type) with anti-decoupling device for high vibrations.
On the receptacle side, one A USB receptacle is soldered
onto a PCB allowing for the following back terminations :
• another USB-A receptacle
• solder : 4 tined holes on the PCB to solder your wires
The USB 2.0 cordset shielding is transmitted to the USB
receptacle through grounding fingers.
For an outstanding EMI protection, the conductive plated
shells (Ni, Cd) with metallized receptacle inserts, transmit
the shielding to the connector shells and finally to the panel.

Assembly Instructions
Plug Assembly
1.
Only if you need a full sealing (IP67) : Install the white
sticker around the plug, covering the 4 little holes of the
overmolding
Insert the black O Ring around the front face of the USB A
plug. This O Ring will ensure the connection sealing.
2.

3.
4.
Insert the USB cordset into the metallic backshell
Insert laterally to the cable the retention spacer (this spacer
is soft, in order to adapt to different shapes of overmolding)
and slide the overmolding of the USB-A plug into this
retention spacer
3
5.
6.
Insert laterally to the cable the the friction ring
Choose the right coding (2 positions) and insert the USB-A
plug into the protective plug. Reference is main key.

7.
Screw the backshell on the plug body. A spanner can be
necessary to fully screw it, and the connection to the
receptacle can help.

Important Note
: The connection sealing is not done by the black
retention spacer (which is sloted), but by the front face
ORing (see 2.)

Receptacle Assembly
Insert the USB module
from the rear.
Reference is main key.
Beware to have a coding compatible with the coding you used for
the plug : on front view, the
white shapes
in the USBs
must be on the same side.
To remove the USB module, insert
the removal tool USBF ODE from the
Front, and push back the module.
