Ingress Protection (IP) ratings indicate a product's protection against the entry of solids and water. Learn about the features of each solid foreign object and water resistance rating and what the numbers on the rating mean. Note: The information provided regarding solid foreign object and water...
Levels of ingress protection against liquids are 0-9K. These levels denote the movement, depth and pressure of water the device is capable of withstanding. The higher the number, the greater the water resistance. In mobile technology, we generally see ratings 0-8, without any "K" designations...
Practically speaking, only products that might be used near open water earn an IPX8 rating. And these ratings aren’t ironclad in the real world. Your brand-new IPX7-rated device might survive three meters at the bottom of a pool the instant you take it out of the box, but it might l...
As mentioned above, IP ratings are denoted as IPXY where ‘X’ is the degree of objects and dust protection and ‘Y’ is the measure of water ingress protection. The X figures run from 0 to 6, with each number representing a level of protection and dust resistance. On the other hand,...
Meticulously compiled IP rating rankings provide a comprehensive breakdown of these ratings, relative to solids and liquirds empowering you with the knowledge needed to evaluate the robustness of your devices. First Digit: Solids The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure prov...
IP Ratings IP (or "Ingress Protection") ratings are defined in international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60509:1989). They are used to define levels of sealing effectiveness against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt etc) and moisture. ...
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings are standards for electrical enclosures as described in document 60529 issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IEC is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). ...
Meanings Of Some Common IP Ratings IP44 A product that has a rating of IP44 means that it is protected against solid objects that are bigger than 1mm and water splashing from all directions. IP54 A product with an IP54 rating is protected against dust ingress sufficie...
For example, IP67 rated means the part is dust tight and will survive full immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. Protection LevelSolids Rating (First Number)Liquids Rating (Second Number) 0 or X Not rated for protection against contact or ingress (or no rating ...
The IP ratings are defined in international standard EN 60529 and are used to set the levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures and devices against intrusion from foreign bodies such as dirt and water. The IP rating consists of two digits, such as IP68. Each having different prote...
