Protection Standard For Plastic Waterproof Cable Connectors

We know that Nylon Cable Gland has several protection levels, among which the objects of protection are divided into solid object protection and water protection, so how do we view its protection performance? In fact, the current protection level of waterproof connectors is based on certain standards.

To see the protection of plastic waterproof cable connectors, it is mainly to look at the two digits XX after IPXX on the product. The first X is from 0 to 6, and the second digit is from 0 to 8. The larger the number, the higher the protection level. Therefore, IP68 is currently the product with a very high protection level. Let's briefly introduce it below.

1. Protection level against solid objects (the first X)

0: No protection at all.

1: It can prevent solid objects larger than 50mm from entering the connector, that is, objects larger than a hand cannot enter.

2: It can effectively prevent the intrusion of solid objects of 12.5mm, that is, it can prevent the intrusion of objects of the length of a finger.

3: It can prevent 2.5mm solid objects from entering the connector. This range can mainly block the entry of debris the size of a wire or tool.

4: It can prevent solid objects larger than 1.0mm from entering, which is equivalent to preventing a wire or stripped wire from entering the connector.

5: It can effectively prevent dust from entering the connector.

6: It can basically prevent dust from entering the connector.

II. Water protection level (indicated by the second X)

0: It can be said that it is completely non-waterproof.

1: Prevent water drops from entering the connector.

2: When the tilt amplitude of the shell is 15 degrees, water entering the shell will not affect the connector.

3: Water or rain falls on the connector shell at an angle of 60 degrees, and the performance of the connector will not be affected.

4: When liquid is splashed on the connector shell from any direction, it will not affect the normal use of the connector.

5: The connector can be rinsed with water without affecting the performance of the connector.

6: It can effectively resist strong water jets, so this level of connector can be used in the cabin.

7: Within a certain period of time, the connector is immersed in water without affecting its performance.

8: Under a certain pressure, it can be immersed in water for a long time without affecting the performance of the plastic waterproof cable connector.
