IP Code Structure
  • IP X Y — IEC 60529 format
  • X (1st digit): Solid particle protection (0–6)
  • Y (2nd digit): Liquid ingress protection (0–8/9K)
  • Higher number = better protection
  • IP67 = dust-tight + 1m immersion
  • IP68 = dust-tight + continuous immersion
Standards
  • IEC 60529: Degrees of protection (IP code)
  • EN 60529: European equivalent
  • NEMA 250: US enclosure types
  • IEC 60670: Junction boxes
  • IEC 62444: Cable glands
Important
  • IP rating applies to the complete assembly including seals
  • Cable gland IP must match or exceed enclosure IP
  • Thermal cycling may degrade seals over time
  • UV exposure requires additional material specification
