Engineering notes

Common product targets

  • Indoor consumer: IP20.
  • Bathroom / kitchen counter: IP44.
  • Outdoor handheld, sport: IP65 or IP67.
  • Diving: IP68.
  • Industrial wash-down: IP69K.

Design implications

  • Above IP54: gasketed enclosure, sealed connectors, pressure-vent if temp-cycled.
  • IP67/68 need a real seal validation plan — spec depth/time on drawings.
  • IP6X often easier than IPX7 — thinner gaskets work for dust but not water.
