The IP rating (ingress protection rating) was developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is most commonly used in Europe, Asia and North America. IP ratings apply to enclosure protection capabilities, such as our AGQ series pushbutton switches, which are rated IP67 for water resistance. The surface of our metal button is dustproof and waterproof, and can be immersed in water for a short time. Generally, the higher the value, the better the waterproof.
IP rating introduction:
IP Rating Chart |
|
IP65 |
Dust tight,protected against water projected from a nozzie |
IP66 |
Dust tight and protected against powerful water iets |
IP67 |
Dust tight and protected against water immersion for 30 minutes between depths of 150mm to 1000mm |
IP68 |
Dust tight and protected against continuous water immersion |
Most of the company’s products are waterproof ip65 grade, IP67 waterproof buttons include AGQ series, high current pin terminal metal series, metal signal lights, new style 16mm 1no1nc button switch and mini type colorful head ball button and other products. The higher waterproof products have IP68, there is only one piezoelectric series button at present, and more series are still under development.
