Based on the part number **0848569115**, this is a specialized electronic component manufactured by **Molex**. Specifically, this part number refers to a **USB A-to-Micro-B High-Reliability Circular Cable Assembly**. These are designed for harsh environments where standard USB connectors would fail due to moisture, dust, or vibration. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical characteristics of the 0848569115 assembly: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Molex | | **Connector Type A** | USB Type A (Standard) | | **Connector Type B** | Micro-B (Circular Industrial Housing) | | **IP Rating** | IP67 (Dust tight, water immersion up to 1m) | | **Cable Length** | 1.0 Meters (approx. 3.28 feet) | | **Shielding** | Shielded | | **Current Rating** | 1.0A | | **Voltage Rating** | 30V AC/DC | --- ### 2. Key Components & Construction The assembly is part of the **Brad® Sealed USB** product family. Its construction includes several critical electronic and mechanical parts: * **Circular Industrial Housing:** The Micro-B end is encased in a threaded or bayonet-style circular shell. This provides a secure lock and prevents accidental disconnection. * **Overmolded Strain Relief:** The transition from the cable to the connector is overmolded with PVC or TPU to prevent wire fatigue and internal shorts. * **Sealing Gasket/O-Ring:** Essential for maintaining the IP67 rating when mated with a compatible panel-mount receptacle. * **Gold-Plated Contacts:** Uses high-quality plating to ensure low contact resistance and prevent corrosion in humid environments. --- ### 3. Common Applications Because of its ruggedized nature, this part is rarely used in consumer electronics and is instead found in: 1. **Industrial Automation:** Connecting sensors or controllers to ruggedized PCs. 2. **Outdoor Data Logging:** Equipment exposed to weather. 3. **Marine Electronics:** On-board diagnostics where salt spray is a factor. 4. **Medical Equipment:** Devices requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to fluids. --- ### 4. Wiring Diagram (Standard USB 2.0) Internally, the cable follows the standard USB 2.0 pinout configuration: ```text Pin 1: VCC (+5V) - Red Wire Pin 2: D- (Data Minus) - White Wire Pin 3: D+ (Data Plus) - Green Wire Pin 4: ID (Often Not Connected) Pin 5: GND (Ground) - Black Wire Shell: Shield/Drain Wire ```
