WATERPROOF USB CHARGER PORT
WE DELIVER POWER
DNA GROUP INC
Several of DNA Group’s existing customers
had a need for a waterproof USB Charge
Port that was rugged enough to install in
outdoor vehicles. The charge port needed
to be waterproof, dual port, and support
the latest charging requirements for smart
phones and tablets.
Overview
No specification existed for the
requested product
Existing designs on the market were of
lower quality and performance
The chargers needed to be rated at
least IP66
Price must remain relatively low
CHALLENGES
Worked with several customers to develop a standard
specification and test procedure
Found suppliers able to provide higher performing
components than required by USB specification while still
meeting the requirement for rugged environment
conditions
Services Performed
Collaborated to produce new, higher quality product
than anything else on the market at a competitive price
Launched tooling in July 2015 in both 12 and 48VDC
versions
Leaders in their respective markets have implemented
the charge port in their platforms
Customers have described new design as “elegant” and
“best in market”
