X-Sealant - Harsh Environment Chemical Contact Pin Coating

Environmental Coated RJ Female and Male Connectors Designed for Harsh Environments

RJ Style Connector contact pins material is made of phosphors bronze by most connector manufacturers. The phosphors bronze material remains the principal material for use of RJ connectors in computers, networking devices and for other electronic products for the industries in the communications, automobiles, appliances, and industrial machinery equipment marketplaces. Because of phosphor bronze metals vulnerability to attack by aggressive chemical environments or even from simple atmospheric oxidation, metal coating is necessary to provide various degrees of protection. Xmultiple has developed a chemical coating sealant which is applied to the contact pins and to the metal shielding material if the RJ connector is of the shielded variety. The metal shielding of the RJ connectors is made of copper alloy and tin plating. The Xmultiple chemical coating sealant is applied in a hot-dipped process to evenly providing a tough chemical coating to protect the contact pins and shielding. In general, corrosive environments contain more than one active material, and the coating must resist penetration by a combination of oxidizers, solvents, or both. The Xmultiple sealant connectors are only a deterrent to the environment conditions and cannot guarantee protection from all these conditions over a long period of time. Xmultiple warrants testing must be done by each user to determine if our sealant will work in your specific conditions.

Integrity of the Xmultiple Sealant Coating in Use

Physical integrity of the Xmultiple chemical coating sealant is an excellent chemical barrier for harsh properties in most applications. For instance, metal chemical coatings are impellers which used in cold and warm conditions and provide good protection from outdoor connections of the connector contact pins. The chemical coating sealant is made to protect from specific environments, including thermal conditions.

Sealant Metal Coating Properties

One of the most common and inexpensive protection methods for metal is provided by metal coating with chemical sealant properties. The sealant coating is produced by hot-dipping techniques. The Xmultiple chemical sealant works as a barrier metal coating and as a protective metal coating to prevent oxidation. If the chemical coating sealant is scratched or penetrated, it continues to provide protection by its penetrating action until the chemical sealant layer is depleted. This sacrificial action also prevents corrosion around pitted contact pin holes and rough edges.

Xmultiple UltraJAX Connectors for Extreme Harsh Conditions with X-Sealant Coating as well.

UltraJax Plus is a new breed of connector designed to deliver a robust Ethernet connection in even the harshest environments. UltraJax female connectors have no contact pins in the RJ interior opening to be exposed to harsh outside conditions. The UltraJax Plus female connector's interior has a printed circuit board with contact pads (coated with X-Sealant) which mates to the UltraJax male connector.

UltraJax Plus connectors are tougher, stronger, durable and more resistant than any previous Ethernet connector. UltraJax Plus connectors are designed to withstand the most punishing industrial conditions and applications which include high cable stress. In cable structures of today care must be taken to not bend the cable immediately at the point where the male RJ connector is inserted into the female. With UltraJax Plus this type of sharp bending can be applied and still maintain the integrity of the connector.

Benefits and Features of the UltraJax Plus extend beyond just the Environment in the Premise Market Key advantages of the UltraJax Plus connectors include superior resistance to moisture and liquids and the elimination of traditional RJ connectors spring action contact pins. The UltraJax Plus uses no metal parts inside the connector except for contact pads on a printed circuit board inside the UltraJax Plus insertion cavity. The printed circuit board design feature increases the mating cycle rate of the connector dramatically over traditional RJ connector while reducing the exposure risks to environmental elements. The contact pads on the printed circuit board of the UltraJax Plus are chemically treated to reduce the risk to corrosion. The UltraJax Plus female connectors can have chemical coating and the contact pads also can have a high density nickel and gold plating. UltraJax Plus connectors are made to provide the greatest possible environment protection of a connector which is not a sealed connector. Most office environments do not need harsh environmental connectors, however this added protection will improve protection of securing a users network and cable structure. UltraJax Plus are designed to withstand the rigors of harsh environment of moisture expose as well as extreme vibration. The UltraJax Plus connectors have the protection features of many sealed connectors which have resistance levels to solid materials and resistance to liquid contaminants.

UltraJax Harsh Environment- Application Note

Xmultiple Patent Pending Protection

The Xmultiple patent pending filing for the environment chemical sealant describes the metal coatings more accurately as conversion coatings, because it produces a protective layer or film on the metal surface by means of a chemical reaction. The chemical coating is applied without changing the part dimensions. Because we must protect his patent filing, Xmultiple is unable to disclose the ingredients used in the chemical coating sealant. Therefore, users of the Xmultiple sealant coating must test the coating in there laboratories or place the units in harsh environments to see if our sealant will work for your requirement.
