How to Choose the Protection Level of M12 Connector?
When selecting the protection rating for M12 connectors, consider your specific application and environmental conditions:
1. Understand Protection Ratings: IP67 is dust-tight and withstands immersion in 1m of water for 30 mins. IP68 offers higher waterproofing for deeper submersion. IP69K suits high-pressure spray environments like food processing or auto manufacturing cleaning.
2. Application-Based Selection: For indoor or general industrial use, IP67 is often sufficient. For damp or outdoor settings, opt for IP67 or IP68. In extreme conditions, choose IP68 or IP69K.
3. Consider Other Factors: Dust-laden environments benefit from IP67/68. In chemical corrosion, select high ratings and corrosion-resistant materials.
4. Industry Standards: M12 connectors follow IEC-61076-2-101. Choose ratings compliant with standards for automation, sensors, networking, etc.
5. Practical Examples: In industrial automation, IP67/68 M12 connectors suit sensors, actuators, and networking. For outdoor equipment, IP68 ensures long-term outdoor reliability.
By following these tips, tailor your M12 connector protection rating to ensure device reliability and durability across various environments.
