ISO 20653 and IEC 60529 are both standards that relate to the degree of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment. However, there are some differences between the two standards.ISO 20653 is a newer standard that was published in 2013 and is also known as the “Road vehicles -...
Using the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60529) standard, the first digit after IP is the rating for its resistance to solids and the second digit is for water resistance. So which one is the most resistant? Simple – the higher the number, the better the resistance. ...
Sometimes manufacturers will claim their device is water resistant but they have not performed the IEC testing to the standard. You should make sure that your device has been tested to the IEC 60529 international standard if this requirement is important to you. What is weatherproof IP65?
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). The objec...
This is where INS (Inertial Navigation Systems) comes into play. An INS uses a collection of extremely precise accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers combined with advanced processing, to calculate an object’s position relative to a known starting point, speed, and direction. Once a submari...
If you are looking for a device that is optimised for getting things done, be it work or play, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is the best choice for you. There are two cutting-edge displays offering exceptional versatility and adjustability. The front display measures 6.3-inches1for the ...
While the IP code was published by the IEC in the United States, IEC is a worldwide organization for standardization. In the U.S., the standard IP code is IEC 60529. The equivalent European standard is EN 60529. The IP rating system has become increasingly important with the rising demand...
IP ratings are used to determine how large an object, or liquid, may pass through the side panels or roof of a cabinet. For example a product that has a rating of IP44 when interpreted means that the product is protected against solid objects that are bigger than 1mm and water splashing ...
IP69K is an extension of the IP (Ingress Protection) rating system, and like IP69, IP69K represents the highest protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. The “K” stands for “Kondenswasser,” which translates to condensation water in German. ...
IP (International protection or Ingress protection) rating is a protection identification code related to solids and liquids that have been designated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60529) to show an electric device’s durability against foreign impact and...
