Argosy TYPE-C Development
Argosy has developed more than 20 different specifications of Type-C Receptacles & Plug connectors, including Top-mount / Mid-mount, Right Angle / Vertical orientation, Dual-Row SMT / Hybrid (Thru-hole + SMT) PCB mount type, Screw lock shell, Nickel plated shell and etc., to satisfy various applications & devices. All our Type-C connectors pass 10,000 times mating & un-mating test, and acquire USB-IF TID No. with corresponding quality verification tests: Electrical test (High-Frequency included), Mechanical test, Environmental test & Compliance test. All our Type-C support from 10 Gbps speed (USB 3.1 Gen 2), and some achieve 40 Gbps high-speed with USB4 Gen3 pre-test certificate & Intel Thunderbolt4 recommendation.
TYPE-C Connector Test & Performance
Today, we would like to introduce Type-C Waterproof IPX8 Connector, where we adopt series of rigorous tests from Reflow simulation, Air Tightness test & Terminal Coplanarity test. Here are our test method and result.
Step 1. Reflow: Pre-heat 150~180℃, 90±30sec. / Heat 230℃ Min., 30±10sec. / Peak Temp. 260℃ Max, 3~5sec.
Step 2. Air Tightness Test: 20kPa ±5%, 5sec., Leakage criteria <40Pa
Step 3. Terminal Coplanarity Test: Lead Coplanarity criteria <0.1mm
Step 4. Electrical Test: measure whether good functioning
Test Performance:
| Vendor | Before Reflow | After 1st Reflow | ||
| Air Tightness | Air Tightness (criteria <40Pa) | Lead Coplanarity (criteria <0.1mm) | Electrical | |
| Argosy | 0 Pa | Pass | Pass | Functioning |
| A***** | 82 Pa | Fail, due to Un-inflatable | NA | NA |
*FP4 also PASS in Air Tightness & Lead Coplanarity, after 2 times Reflow.
**In customer requested scenario, FP4 even PASS 60kPa, 40sec. condition.
