IP Ratings Explained
IP First Number – Protection against solid objects; IP Second Number – Protection against liquids. For example, in an IP rating of IP 54 for an electrical enclosure, 5 describes the level of
View DetailsAll the listed ratings (IP63, IP64, IP65, IP67, and IP68) are dust-tight, providing the highest level of protection against solid objects. The main difference lies in the degree of water protection. IP63 offers protection against water sprays, while IP64 guards against splashing water. IP65 is designed to withstand low pressure water jets.
Consider removable inner door panels for quick access and cleaning. IP67 cabinets typically cost more due to dual‑seal construction. Choose them only when immersion risk is real. For high‑pressure washdown, IP66 offers better value than IP65 plus additional spray protection.
Periodic water spray is expected but not at high pressure. You want higher protection than IP54 without the cost or weight of full IP65+. Direct exposure to pressurized water or outdoor storms is expected. Equipment is installed in marine, underground, or industrial washdown zones.
IP65 Enclosure - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against water projected from a nozzle. IP66 Enclosure - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water. IP 68 Enclosures - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against complete, continuous submersion in water.
