The core function of liquid silicone USB plugs is protection. Specifically reflected in the following aspects:
Dustproof, waterproof, and anti foreign object (core function):
This is the primary function. The USB port, charging interface, or other openings on electronic devices are channels for connecting internal circuits to the external environment. After dust, fluff, debris and other foreign objects enter, they may accumulate and cause poor contact, short circuit or corrosion.
For devices with a certain waterproof rating (such as IP67/IP68), this plug is an essential part of achieving this rating. It can effectively seal ports, prevent liquids (water, beverages, etc.) from entering, and protect equipment from damage.
Anti oxidation and corrosion:
The metal contacts of the interface (such as USB pins) are exposed to air, especially in humid and salty environments, which can easily oxidize and corrode, leading to increased resistance, slower charging speed, or data transmission failure. The silicone plug isolates the air, greatly slowing down this process.
Safety and aesthetics:
When not in use, the plug can keep the appearance of the device clean and uniform, without revealing the complex internal interfaces.
For children's toys and other products, it can prevent children from inserting small items into the port, providing a certain level of safety protection.
Enhance product quality:
A well-designed and comfortable opening and closing silicone plug can significantly enhance the user's detail experience and the product's high-end feel.
