Many electrical and electronic systems are used in rugged environments where contact with water, sprays, and moisture can impede normal system operation. Ensuring electrical safety and signal integrity when operating in these tough environments requires electronics being housed in watertight enclosures and interconnected by cables terminated with waterproof connectors. In these environments, panel-mounted waterproof connectors achieve a watertight seal preventing water from leaking into the enclosure.
Using a kit of waterproof connectors provided by our sponso Amphenol, this competition focuses on experimenting with waterproof connectors. Challengers will also be given a customized watertight enclosure by Hammond Manufacturing. Before we talk about what the participants will receive in the Challenger's kit, and the great prizes they are competing for, let's talk about how to enter this competition, the program’s timeline, how participant blogs will be judged, and some common FAQs.
