X-Sealant Gel

Environmental Coated RJ Female and Male Connectors Designed for Harsh Environments. Xmultiple provides two solutions for Anti-Corrosion Connectors. Our X-Sealant is a chemical coating of the RJ female jack connector and the X-Sealant Gel is a patent pending RJ male plug with integrated Gel.

Xmultiple X-Sealant Chemical Coated Connectors

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.

Xmultiple X-Sealant Gel Male RJ Plugs

Xmultiple's X-Sealant GEL RJ male connector provides sealing and corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor equipment. The X-sealant RJ male connectors are designed to seal the individual wires and contacts within both the male RJ connector and the female RJ connector. X-Sealant Gel is released into the female connector jack once the male plug is connected. Xmultiple's X-Sealant male RJ Connectors are filled with protective GEL.

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.

Listed below are frequently asked question regarding Gel application and use.

How often does this Gel have to be re-applied?

Answer: The number of times plugs are inserted will determine the number of times gel must be applied. If the gel is applied and the male plug is inserted, you will never have to reapply the gel again until 2 years or more of service. This is under normal useage conditions in a protected environment. If multiple insertions occur you will have to reapply the gel with each insertion. This is our recommendation however this gel is design to not run, drip or evaporate, so this is not absolutely required to reapply gel and the determination must be made by the user.

How many insertions of the male jack can there be before the Gel needs to be re-applied?

Answered above.

What is the recommended best practices for applying the Gel?

Answer: The 3oz tube was designed to make the application of the gel easy for the user. The gel is applied directly from the tube into the female connector. A small drop inserted on the contact pins inside the female is all that is required. The male plug is then inserted into the connector.

Could we potentially apply this to our jacks in the manufacturing process?

Answer: Yes, Users can have the Gel applied during the assembly process of their products.

The answer is also "Yes" if Xmultiple applies the Gel during our process of manufacturing a connector for a customer. However, if Xmultiple applies the Gel during our manufacturing of a connector the cost of the Gel inserted into the jacks during the manufacturing increases the pricing and has a minimum order quantitiy.
