The BUSB30 gives a machine or panel a proper front-facing USB 3.0 port, letting engineers plug in a memory stick for firmware updates or data transfer without opening the enclosure. Its IP65 rating keeps the connection point dust- and splash-protected between uses, and the 22mm mounting matches EMAS's standard control-panel cutout.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standard USB feedthrough, or does it need special cable?
It works with standard USB-A connectors on both sides — one plugs into your internal control system or PC, the other is available at the panel face for a USB stick or external device.
Is it suitable for washdown or outdoor panel mounting?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets when not in use.
How many times can I plug/unplug it before it wears out?
It's rated for 1500 mating cycles, comfortably covering regular engineer or operator access over the equipment's life.
Does USB 3.0 mean faster data transfer than USB 2.0 panel sockets?
Yes — USB 3.0 supports significantly higher transfer speeds than USB 2.0, useful for larger firmware files or bulk data logging transfers.
