The IP protection degree is an international standard that establishes the different degrees of protection against the entry of foreign materials or particles (dust, water, etc.)
What is the degree of IP protection?
The IP degree of protection refers to an international standard that differentiates between the different degrees of protection against the entry of foreign materials or particles (dust, water, etc.) into said materials. The letters IP come to mean the English Ingress Protection
According to this nomenclature, after the acronym IP there are 2 numbers. The one that corresponds to the tens refers to the degree of protection against the entry of solid objects and the digit of the units refers to the degree of protection against the entry of water
In this way, the CEI 60529 standard, which regulates this nomenclature, establishes the following levels for each of the two digits:
Thus, by way of example, the following standards would mean:
IP65: Complete protection against dust (6) and water jets (5) not pressure
IP67: Dustproof (6) and complete immersion in water for no more than 30 minutes (6)
IP68: Dustproof and complete and continuous immersion in water.
In addition, the Effect of pressure Regarding protection against water, we do not generally speak of depths greater than one meter, so it is advisable to read the specific specifications of the product given by the manufacturer to know the immunity that we really have.
In this section we have grouped only components that have a tightness index or IP degree greater than or equal to IP65.
