 New product introduction this week. It's Stewart. That's right brought to you by Digikey and Adafruit It's been a very long day. Yeah. Okay, but it's technically it is it is it is new because NPI It is new. Yeah, but I was I'm yeah, we're gonna do new products today. Okay, so what you got today is from Stewart connector, which is like a subset of Bell and it's simple but effective We've got some IP67 USB cable adapters from Stewart. So these are the type A cable assemblies I'm assuming they'll have the type B and type C coming out shortly. They've got them in a bunch of different configurations and what I like about this is, you know, a lot of times when you're making a product or design, eventually you have to recognize it or like weatherproof it, but it's really hard to get like individual components that are where the proof of recognize. Like for example, if you want to include your Raspberry Pi computer into a product and you want to have it be outdoors or like a part of signage, you know, you've got these USB ports but these USB ports are not rated for like anything. They're incredibly delicate. It's a totally exposed computer and that's what makes it really inexpensive, right? I mean you can get recognized computers, but they're going to be a lot more pricey because they have all the enclosure stuff built in. But if you want to use common off the shelf hardware like Raspberry Pi or Arduino or Beaglebone, you can grab that and you'll see everything's exposed. It's not weatherproof. And then you can get parts that are rated for weatherproofness and ruggedness and to do that, you check out the IP rating, the ingress protection ratings, not related to TCP IP. Totally different. And by looking at the dust and water ingress, and you can see on the left and the right here the left is the dust rating and it goes from zero, no dust protection all the way up to six, which is dust tight. And then on the right it goes from no water protection at all to like jets of water and like dunking in water and long-term immersion water and then finally like high temperature water. Like it's more detailed. And for these cables they are IP67. So that means that they are dustproof and you can dunk them in water but you don't want to have them in water for a very long time. Like they're not meant for pools or aquariums where it's like long-term water dunking. But if they get wet and they go into a puddle or something or somebody actually spills water on them, they're okay. And that's important because if it doesn't have an IP rating there's no testing, there's no guarantee, you don't know if it looks like it's going to survive outdoors. It doesn't mean anything. You need to have it be rated. So you have these come in a couple different configurations. This is like the panel mount socket and this you can see there's the blue inside. That means it's USB 3.0. And then there's this which is USB 2 that's like the white plastic on the inside. And this is the part that plugs into that socket. And then they have like this which is an extension cable style and you can see it has a nice cover as well. So they have like six or seven different cable configurations. Pick the one that you need for your project. You'll panel mount it. The panel mounting goes into an enclosure that is weatherproof. And then once the two cables are plugged together and assembled, it's IP67. So there's all these different parts. Check them out. Like I said, there's 2.0, 3.0. There is the socket and plug type and there's three foot and six foot alternatives. Each one comes with very nice detailed specification sheets with all the cutouts and shapes and lengths and pinouts and all that good stuff. And yeah, this is another one, another cable example. Available on Digikey. Yes. And I'll show it over on the overhead as well. Again, there's a couple different versions. I just picked one to show off here. So let's go to the overhead and I'll show you. So this is a combo. Here. I'll show you just one second. So when you unscrew this part, this plugs into here. So this would be what you connect on the other side of your single board computer like your Raspberry Pi. And this could be, you know, data or power or whatever. You plug it in. And then there's, you know, like there's an O-ring here. And then you just have to screw this in and it gives you not only again that water and dust protection, but it's of course also strain relief because it's like so strong and ruggedized. And then I like that little details like they have it say USB here. So you know what it is because once it's in this, of course, you can't tell. And there's like epoxy on the back and all together like a very nice cable kit. Just makes it really easy. You want to make your project ruggedized. You don't have to, you can use off the shelf components and then toss these cables in and you're good to go. All right. You can check out the short URL here. It's also in the chat and you'll have a recap of this on our blog with all the information and more in the next day or so. And that is this week's IonMPI.
