Ingress Protection (IP) ratings classify the degree of protection provided by enclosures against the intrusion of solid objects and liquids. These ratings are defined by the international standard IEC 60529. The IP rating is represented by the letters “IP” followed by two digits:

First Digit (Solid Object Protection): Indicates the level of protection against the ingress of solid objects.
Second Digit (Liquid Protection): Indicates the level of protection against the ingress of liquids.
Here’s a breakdown of the different IP rating levels:

Solid Object Protection (First Digit)

IP0X: No protection against contact and ingress of objects.
IP1X: Protection against solid objects larger than 50 mm (e.g., hands).
IP2X: Protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm (e.g., fingers).
IP3X: Protection against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm (e.g., tools, wires).
IP4X: Protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm (e.g., small wires).
IP5X: Dust protection. Limited ingress of dust is permitted but does not interfere with the operation of the equipment.
IP6X: Dust-tight. No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact.

Liquid Protection (Second Digit)

IPX0: No protection against water.
IPX1: Protection against dripping water when the enclosure is tilted up to 15 degrees.
IPX2: Protection against dripping water when the enclosure is tilted up to 60 degrees.
IPX3: Protection against spraying water from any direction.
IPX4: Protection against water splashes from any direction.
IPX5: Protection against water jets from any direction.
IPX6: Protection against powerful water jets and heavy seas.
IPX7: Protection against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter depth).
IPX8: Protection against continuous immersion in water under conditions specified by the manufacturer (usually beyond 1 meter depth).
IPX9K: Protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets from any direction.

Examples of IP Ratings

IP65: Dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction.
IP67: Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water.
IP68: Dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion in water.
Understanding IP ratings helps ensure that products are suitable for their intended environments, offering protection from dust, water, and other elements that could affect performance and safety.
