How waterproof can connectors be in humid environments?
Connector waterproof performance in humid conditions primarily hinges on their IP rating. Here's the breakdown:
1. IP67: Fully dust-tight and can withstand immersion up to 1m deep for a short period.
2. IP68: Suitable for prolonged submersion, ideal for underwater equipment.
3. IP69K: Resistant to high-pressure water jets, including hot water at 80°C, for extreme environments.
Modern waterproof connectors often meet IP67 or IP68 standards, ensuring tight sealing in damp or submerged settings. IP68 connectors excel in outdoor, industrial, and medical applications exposed to persistent moisture. Testing adheres to IEC 60529 standards. In summary, connectors' waterproof capabilities in wet conditions are defined by their IP rating. For reliable protection in humid or submerged environments, opt for IP67 or IP68. For higher protection, consider IP69K.
