For example, the waterproof performance of IP67 is higher than that of IP65. At present, the common waterproof grades of industrial connectors are mainly IP65/IP67/IP68. Waterproof connectors can greatly protect our electricity safety.

The IP68 waterproof connector is suitable for continuous submersion under certain pressure, which can prevent the entry of water during a complete and continuous submersion. The IP67 waterproof connector is suitable for short-term immersion in water and the water depth is less than 1 meter.

When the connector is used in products with dust, rain and other environments, it must meet at least IP65 protection level requirements; when it is used in products that may be immersed in water for a short time, long-term humidity, and prone to condensation, it must meet at least IP67 protection level Requirements; When applied to products that may come into contact with high-pressure water or high-temperature water, at least meet the requirements of IP68 protection level.
