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

Product Information

This isn’t always the case since most rainwater - even in windy conditions - tends to fall relatively close to vertical, and under very low pressure. An IPX2 rating should protect against dripping water equivalent to 3 mm rainfall per minute at angles up to 15°, while IPX3 indicates resistance to continuous spray at up to 60° from vertical. Zone 2 indicates a 60cm radius around any bath or shower enclosure, and here a splash-proof rating of IP44 is the minimum requirement. (This is also commonly extended to areas around sinks, where the 0.6m measurement is usually taken from the taps themselves.) 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. 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.

Protection against low-pressure jets (6.3mm) of directed water from any angle (limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects) 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. Intrusion’ in the context of an IP rating has a threefold definition: IP codes signify the level of protection to users (hands, fingers etc) from mechanical or electrical parts; the degree of protection an enclosure offers those key components against dust, dirt and other damaging foreign bodies; and its overall resistance to moisture.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? 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. Handheld enclosures are protective cases for controllers and electronic instruments, widely used for both simple mobile controls and more heavy-duty electronic devices including volt-meters, digital thermometers and flow readers.

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.Protection against full immersion for up to 30 minutes at depths between 15cm and 1 metre (limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects) IPX3 will protect against continuous spray at up to a 60° angle, which is generally considered sufficient in partially enclosed or covered areas. If the lights are likely to be cleaned using pressurised jets, they should be rated at IPX5 or above. Protection against vertically falling droplets, such as condensation, sufficient that no damage or interrupted functioning of components will be incurred when an item is upright To be specific, an IP20 protection rating indicates that something is resistant to ingress by objects over 12.5mm in length, but offers no water protection whatsoever. It is common to use IP20 fittings for indoor lighting in living rooms and dining rooms, where there is little risk of ingress, but they should not be used for bathrooms because they are not water resistant and may not remain secure against even limited ingress by low-pressure water jets, let alone spray or airborne moisture. They are also unsuitable for outdoor lighting because of the risk of ingress by dirt, organisms and rain.

Once you understand how the ingress protection rating scale works, it is simple to determine the level of protection each part offers. The second digit in an IP rating will be a number between 0-9, denoting the quality of resistance to moisture ingress at varying intensities, angles, depths and pressures of exposure or immersion.

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: or X - see section below): Not rated (or no rating supplied) for protection against ingress of this type Scottish Highlands, areas which we class as zone 1 are post codes: AB30-38, AB44-56, FK17-99, G83, IV1-28, IV30-32, IV33-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-33, PA34-40, PH18-26, PH30, PH31-41, PH49-50 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.
