What size opening does the connector require?
▾
The connector is designed for a ¼-inch (6.35 mm) diameter opening, allowing a flush mount that sits flush with the panel surface while providing full USB 2.0 functionality.
Does the connector support USB charging?
▾
Yes, the bulkhead socket passes both data and power, so devices that draw up to 500 mA from a Mini USB source can be powered through the connector without loss of performance.
How many insertions can the socket tolerate?
▾
The metal-shielded bulkhead housing is rated for thousands of insertions, making it suitable for environments where cables are frequently swapped or serviced.
Is the connector compatible with USB-C adapters?
▾
The socket itself is Mini USB 2.0 only; you would need a separate Mini-USB-to-USB-C adapter if you wish to connect a USB-C device, which adds an extra conversion step.
Can the connector be used in outdoor enclosures?
▾
While the connector is metal-shielded and robust, it is not rated for harsh weather. For outdoor use, pair it with a sealed enclosure and consider a waterproof bulkhead variant.
