IP Ratings (Ingress Protection) : IP.. First Digit: Ingress of Solid Objects Second Digit: Ingress of Liquids

The IP rating system provides a scale for classifying the degrees of protection from solid objects and liquids for electrical enclosures. The first digit refers to protection from solids, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust tight protection). The second digit refers to protection from liquids, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 9 (protection against close-range high pressure spray). Higher IP numbers indicate greater levels of protection. For example, an IP54 rating would provide better protection than an IP42 rating.

IP Ratings (Ingress Protection)

A two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection
rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment.

The protection class after EN60529 are indicated by short symbols that consist of the two code letters IP and a code numeral
for the amount of the protection.

Example: IP65 (NEMA 4)


The two digits represent different forms of environmental influence:
• The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects.
• The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids.

The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection. As an example, a product rated IP54 would be better protected
against environmental factors than another similar product rated as IP42.

IP protection of the PIP:

A PIP in the standard PIP housing is generally IP51 protected. Higher IP protection level with the standard PIP housing (up to
IP54) can be reached with good positioning / orientation of the PIP. In other special PIP-housings, like a MIL-housing up to
IP67 protection is possible.

IP protection of the PANEL-PIP:

The PANEL-PIP is available in various housings. Those allow a protection level of up to all around IP65.
