USB-C Receptacle with IPX8 Sealing
The Molex 2036150003 is a USB-C (USB TYPE-C) receptacle — the 24-contact version with the full pinout of 16 signal and 8 dummy contacts, giving you the complete USB-C interface including power delivery and sideband channels. The IPX8 waterproof rating means this connector holds up under continuous immersion, so it belongs in outdoor kiosks, marine electronics, or any assembly that sees washdown or rain. Gold-plated contacts and a shielded steel/stainless shell handle the corrosion and EMI demands of a sealed USB port.
What the IPX8 Rating Means for the Build
IPX8 is the highest ingress protection level for a USB connector — it means the mated assembly can be submerged beyond 1 metre for a duration the manufacturer specifies. For a field-service technician, that translates to a port that survives a hose-down or a drop in a puddle without wicking moisture into the board. The trade-off is that the sealing gasket and the right-angle SMT footprint take up more board real estate than a standard unsealed USB-C.
