Ip Protection Level For Heavy-duty Connector Selection
The whole set of heavy duty connector 16 pin mainly includes heavy duty connector 5 pin parts such as upper shell, male core, male pin, female core, female pin, lower shell, accessories, etc. Among them, there are many types of shells that need to be selected for heavy duty connector 6 pin, and these heavy duty electrical contacts types of shells can meet the needs of various applications. In the process of selecting the model of heavy duty industrial connector shell, IP protection level is a parameter that needs to be considered. Now I will introduce the definition of IP protection level. The shell, seals and locking devices on heavy duty male female connector protect the electrical components of heavy duty multi pin connectors from impact, foreign matter, moisture, dust, water or detergent, coolant, oil and other liquids. Example: IP65 The letter code of the protection level is IP. The first number is protection against foreign objects. The protection range is 0-6 levels, which represent the following: 0----------No safety protection: no contact protection, no protection against solid foreign objects. 1----------Protection against large foreign objects: prevent large-area contact with hands and prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 50mm. 2----------Protection against medium-sized foreign objects: prevent finger contact, prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 12mm.
3----------Protection against small foreign objects: prevent contact with objects with a diameter greater than 2.5mm such as tools and wires, and prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 2.5mm.
4----------Protection against granular foreign objects: Same as 3, prevent foreign objects with a diameter greater than 1mm.
5----------Protection against dust accumulation: prevent contact, prevent internal dust deposition.
6----------Protection against dust ingress: fully prevent contact, prevent dust ingress.
The second number is waterproof protection, with a total protection range of 0-8 levels, representing the following:
0----------No waterproof protection.
1----------Protection against dripping water: prevent vertical dripping water drops.
2----------Protection against tilted dripping water: prevent tilted dripping water drops (at any angle within 15° from vertical).
3---------Anti-sprinkling protection: prevents water from any angle within 60° vertically.
4----------Anti-spraying protection: prevents water from all directions.
5----------Anti-jetting protection: prevents water from any angle (nozzle).
6----------Anti-flooding protection: prevents temporary flooding.
7----------Anti-immersion protection: prevents temporary immersion.
8---------Anti-submersion protection: prevents pressurized water from entering during long-term immersion.
