What are the applications of waterproof connectors, waterproof connectors, and waterproof cables?
Many friends do not understand what are waterproof connectors, waterproof connectors, and waterproof cables. In fact, they are a kind of waterproof electronic components used for working in water. They can be placed inside the power cord, network cable, etc., not only can provide normal and Safe and reliable power supply, signal transmission, the most important and most distinctive feature is that it plays a very good waterproof and dustproof effect. Waterproof connectors, waterproof connectors and waterproof cables are widely used, such as: LED lighting, furniture and electrical appliances, urban lighting engineering, ships, hotels, machinery industry, offshore lighthouses, gifts, etc., businesses will use these , Individuals will also have needs.
A waterproof connector is a connecting device that has a waterproof function. Waterproof connectors have a place in the market and are widely used, and they are needed in many places. For example: street lights, ships, industrial applications, LED displays, etc. Because its most iconic function is waterproof, it is more widely used at sea, so ships, lighthouses, etc. need to use waterproof connectors.
"Waterproof connector" is the name on its "hukou", which is more formal, so it is also more well-known. "Waterproof plug" and "waterproof connector" refer to waterproof connectors, meaning the same, but different expressions. For example, just like everyone's laptop, some people call it a laptop, some people call it a laptop, and some people call it a microcomputer, a laptop, it's all ok, it's all more visual. The name. It is worth mentioning that waterproof connectors are more standardized than waterproof plugs and connectors, and can be used in different occasions, but they refer to the same object. There is also what is the waterproof plug line and waterproof connection line. In fact, they are used in similar ways, except that these will carry a line. However, sometimes people do not talk about it separately, they are called waterproof connectors.
The standard for defining the waterproof rating of the waterproof connector is strictly simple and obvious. The IP is used as the technical parameter guide. The two digits following it have their own unique range and meaning, but they cannot be separated. We are used to using "IPXX" "To give an overall introduction, here, I will explain to you step by step, the first" X "stands for" dustproof "-that is, protection against solid objects, the second" X "stands for" waterproof "-also It is the ability to protect against liquids.
Let me talk about the first "X": when the IP is 0, it is meaningless to test the unprotected. When the IP is 1, it can prevent solid objects larger than 50mm from intruding, which is equivalent to hand contact. When the IP is 2, it can prevent the intrusion of solid objects larger than 12mm, just the size of our fingers. When the IP is 3, it can prevent the intrusion threat of solid objects larger than 2.5mm, such as some small tools or wires. When the IP is 4, it can prevent the intrusion threat of solid objects more than 1mm, such as the thickness of a stripping line. When the IP is 5, it can prevent the dust from entering and causing harm. When the IP is 6, it is completely preventing dust from entering, so when the first "X" is 6, the technology is the most mature.
Now let's talk about the second "X": when the IP is 0, the test is not protected as before. When the IP is 1, it can prevent the threat of water dripping vertically. When the IP is 2, it can prevent the water spray from the vertical incline to 15 degrees to cause damage to the casing. When the IP is 3, it can prevent the water spray from the vertical incline to 60 degrees to cause damage to the casing. When the IP is 4, at this time, no matter which direction the water splashes from, it will not invade the case. When the IP is 5, applying low-pressure water in any direction will not cause damage to the connector. When the IP is 6, you can apply high-pressure water to it in all directions, and it will not invade the inside. It is suitable for the working environment in the ship. At this time, you can fight it with water. When the IP is 7, it can be immersed in water for a short time without any problems. When the IP is 8, it can work under high water pressure for a long time without water. At present, this is the highest level of protection for waterproof connectors.
Therefore, combined with the previous "X", the IP68 waterproof connector is the most ideal waterproof connector, and the protection level is impeccable.
