IP65 Waterproof ‎Plastic Junction Box, 2-Way Outdoor Electrical Cable Connectors, Underground Cable Line Protection Connector for Various Industrial Area.

Product Information

There’s a vast range of different IP-rated enclosure types available across all sectors and industries, including a great many options for all manner of electronics and mechanical systems aimed at both home and industrial settings. Instrument cases are usually available in both heavy-duty and more lightweight configurations, depending on the level of protection and portability required. They can be used for anything from outdoor LED power supply casings to industrial camera housings, desktop electronics and measuring/control equipment. IP rated power supply cases The reason for having a universal IP rating system is so that buyers and users can be confident of how safe it is to use certain electrical or mechanical goods in specific environments and applications.

Protection against full immersion for up to 30 minutes at depths between 15cm and 1 metre (limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects) The second digit indicates the level of water protection that a component offers. At the low end of the scale, a 1 means protection from vertically falling water drops, while at the high end, an 8 denotes that a component is resistant to continuous submersion in water, and a 9 means that a part is protected against powerful jets of high-temperature water. What is IP20? As IP20 is at the lower end of the scale, it’s designed for less challenging environments, while IP65 is at the higher end of the scale, and can therefore be used in a wider range of applications. The rating ‘IP20’ stands for ‘Ingress Protection Two Zero’ – but what does this actually mean? To put it simply, the 2 means that the product has the second level rating for ingress by solid objects, while the 0 means that it has no protection against ingress by moisture or liquids. The following are general industry rules of thumb for outdoor lighting, but it’s always wise to seek manufacturer or supplier advice for your specific application scenario before installation:IP65 offers much greater protection against both solid objects and water ingress. The first digit is a 6, indicating complete protection of the highest level against dust and other fine matter. At a 5, the second digit also indicates a strong level of water protection, establishing that the part or component that has achieved this rating is protected against water jets, spraying water and vertically falling drops. While higher levels of protection are available, they are uncommon for household applications and are only typically necessary for specialised equipment or offshore use. Handheld enclosures are usually designed to mount digital or analogue LCD display modules behind an acrylic window and are typically constructed from sturdy but lightweight aluminium for portability. They often contain battery compartments with easily removable lids. A product with an IP20 rating tells you that it has ingress protection up to 12.5mm against solid bodies such as fingers or dust. However, this rating also signifies that the product is not waterproof, which lets you know that it won’t be suitable for outdoor applications. Zone 1 indicates an area directly above a bath or shower enclosure, to a height of 2.25 metres from the floor. This would include any wall- or ceiling-mounted downlights within the vertical perimeter of a shower enclosure, for example. IP45 is technically the minimum resistance required here, although IP65 is a much more common standard, and most lighting for shower or bath areas will be rated to at least IP65 by default. or X - see section below): Not rated (or no rating supplied) for protection against ingress of this type

Protection against vertically falling droplets, such as condensation, sufficient that no damage or interrupted functioning of components will be incurred when an item is uprightThe first digit will be a number between 0-6, and indicates the degree of protection from ingress of solid objects (the user themselves, and other potentially harmful particulates such as dust or dirt). Protection against splashing water from any direction, tested for a minimum of 10 minutes with an oscillating spray (limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects) In general, an IP rating will consist of two digits, occasionally followed by a letter denoting specific materials, hazards or testing scenarios. The most common way you’ll see such a rating given will be in the format ‘IP43’, ‘IP67’, or similar.
