Locked State (IP67/IP68):
• IP67: Dust-tight + protection against immersion up to 1m for 30 mins
• IP68: Dust-tight + protection against continuous immersion in water (depth >1m)
Unlocked/Installation State (IP65):
• Dust-tight + protection against water jets from any direction
• Applicable to front/rear panel installation scenarios
Core Protection Features:
• Waterproof: Resist water immersion/spray in washdown environments
• Dustproof: Prevent dust ingress in dusty production workshops
• Oil-resistant: Resist industrial oil/chemical solvent erosion
Scenario Adaptation:
• Harsh industrial sites (automotive manufacturing, food processing)
• Outdoor/underground equipment installations
• High-humidity/oily production environments
Technical Tip: The IP protection rating of M12 connectors is critical for field reliability - ensure full locking during installation to achieve IP67/IP68 protection, which is essential for waterproof/dustproof requirements in industrial environments. Even in unlocked/installation state, IP65 protection still meets basic on-site anti-splash and dustproof needs.
