Degree of protection
Electrical devices to which connectors belong to have to be protected
for safety reasons from outside influences like dust, foreign objects,
direct contact, moisture and water. This protection is provided on
industrial connectors by its housings with their latching devices and
sealed cable entries. The degree of protection can be selected depen-
ding on the type of intended use. The standard IEC 60529 and/or
DIN EN 60529 has specified the degree of protection and divided
into several classes.
The degree of protection is indicated in the following way:
IP65
Code letters
(Internat. Protection)
1st charact. numeral (degree of protection against access
gto hazardous parts and against solid foreign objects)
2nd charact. numeral (degree of protection against ingress of water)
The following charts 4 and 5 give an overview about all protection
degrees.

–
Vertically falling drops
shall have no harmful
effects.
Vertically falling drops
shall have no harmful
effects when the
enclosure is tilted at any
angel up to 15° on either
side of the vertical.
Water sprayed at an angle
up to 60° on either side of
the vertical shall have no
harmful effects.
Water splashed against
the enclosure from any
direction shall have no
harmful effects.
Water projected in jets
against the enclosure from
any direction shall have no
harmful effects.
Water projected in
powerful jets against
the enclosure from any
direction shall have no
harmful effects.
Intrusion of water in quan-
tities causing harmful effects
shall not be possible when
the enclosure is tempo-
ralily immersed in water
for 30 min. in 1m depth.
Intrusion of water in
quantities causing harmful
effects shall not be possible
when the enclosure is
continuously immersed
in water under conditions
which shall be agreed
between manufacturer and
user but which are more
severe than for numeral 7.
Water projected in powerful
jets with high pressure
against the enclosure from
any direction shall have no
harmful effects.
