What is IP protection?
IP protection (INGRESS PROTECTION): A protective measure for electronic equipment to prevent external substances (such as water, dust, etc.) from entering the interior of the equipment, thereby protecting the normal operation of the equipment.
IP protection level standard
The IP protection level is a standard established by the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC (International Electro Technical Commission) to evaluate the protection capabilities of electrical equipment against dust and water.
The IP protection level consists of two numbers: the first number indicates the dust protection level, and the second number indicates the waterproof level. Generally speaking, the higher the number, the better the protection performance.
Knowing the above standards, you can understand the meaning of the common IP protection level.
IP65
– Dustproof ability: completely dustproof, no particles enter.
– Waterproof ability: protection against low-pressure water jets.
IP67
– Dustproof ability: completely dustproof, no particles enter.
– Waterproof ability: can be immersed in water for a short time, and the instrument can work normally.
What are the advantages of products with high protection levels?
★Safer products: The higher the IP protection level, the less likely the product will be damaged by dust and water during use, thus ensuring the safety of the product.
★Longer product life: Products with high IP protection levels can slow down the wear and aging of instruments when damaged by dust and water, thereby extending the service life of the instrument.
★Better product quality: When a product has a high IP protection level, it can prove that the product’s manufacturing process and material quality are high, which means that the product is of better quality.
★Meet market thresholds: Products that obtain protection level certification meet market entry thresholds and can improve product competitiveness.
