IP Ratings (Ingress Protection) : Close This Window

The IP rating system establishes a numeric code to indicate the degree of protection provided by electrical enclosures against solid objects like tools and dust, and against water. The first digit refers to solid object protection, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust tight). The second digit refers to water ingress protection, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 8 (immersion beyond 1m). Higher IP numbers indicate better protection, so an enclosure rated IP54 provides more protection than one rated IP42.

IP Ratings (Ingress Protection)


A two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment. The protection class after EN60529 are indicated by short symbols that consist of the two code letters IP and a code numeral for the amount of the protection. Example: IP65 (NEMA 4) The two digits represent different forms of environmental influence: The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects. The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids. The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection. As an example, a product rated IP54 would be better protected against environmental factors than another similar product rated as IP42.

IP TABLE:
IP.. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 First digit: Ingress of solid objects No protection Protected against solid objects over 50mm e.g. hands, large tools. No protection Protected against vertically falling drops of water or condensation. Second digit: Ingress of liquids

Protected against solid objects over 12.5mm Protected against falling drops of water, if the e.g. hands, large tools. case is disposed up to 15 from vertical. Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm e.g. wire, small tools. Protected against solid objects over 1.0mm e.g. wires. Limited protection against dust ingress. (no harmful deposit) Totally protected against dust ingress. Protected against sprays of water from any direction, even if the case is disposed up to 60from vertical. Protected against splash water from any direction. Protected against low pressure water jets from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. Protected against high pressure water jets

from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. 7 8 N/A N/A Protected against short periods of immersion in water. Protected against long, durable periods of immersion in water.

IP protection of the PIP:


A PIP in the standard PIP housing is generally IP51 protected. Higher IP protection level with the standard PIP housing (up to IP54) can be reached with good positioning / orientation of the PIP. In other special PIP-housings, like a MIL-housing up to IP67 protection is possible.

IP protection of the PANEL-PIP:


The PANEL-PIP is available in various housings. Those allow a protection level of up to all around IP65.
