IP codes IP65 touchscreen display IP65 LED lamp. The IP code or ingress protection code indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 [1] which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures ...
Before the advent of the IK code, a third numeral had been occasionally added to the closely related IP Code on ingress protection, to indicate the level of impact protection — e.g. IP66(9). Nonstandard use of this system was one of the factors leading to the development of this standard, which uses a separate two numeral code to distinguish ...
These cable glands consist of three parts (two gland halves and a split sealing grommet) which are screwed with a hexagonal locknut (like normal cable glands). Thus, pre-assembled cables can be routed without removing the plugs. Split cable glands can reach an ingress protection of up to IP66/IP68 and NEMA 4X.
Cable glands and self-sealing grommets are usually designed for entering single or just a few cables. By utilising a gland plate, many cables with different diameters can be routed. Depending on the type, very high cable densities or ingress protection classes up to IP66/IP68 (according to IEC 60529) can be achieved.
IP68 — Solid particle (dust) protection level 6 (protection from all dust) and liquid ingress (waterproof) protection level 8 (protection from full immersion at depths determined by the manufacturer). [6] [8] IP69K — In the IEC 60529 rating system for ingress protection (IP), IP6* refers to the
Ingress protection; Electromagnetic interference; Optimizations on performance; Example of a MIL-STD-810 Certified, 1U Rugged Computer. Electronic components themselves may be selected for their ability to withstand higher and lower operating temperatures than typical commercial components.
Several protection strategies exist. The simplest is to minimize the amount of electrical equipment installed in a hazardous location, either by keeping the equipment out of the area altogether, or by making the area less hazardous (for example, by process changes, or ventilation with clean air).
I have the latest version of IEC 60529 in my hands. At paragraph 4.1 it says "IP" stands for "International Protection" not for "Ingress protection". Ingress protection returns 0 (zero!) results if searched in the PDF file. We sholud fix the article to reflect this. Please let me know if you agree or not. Armando82 16:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
