IP RATING

IP codes signify the extent to which a product is protected against solid objects or dust or water getting through the exterior of the product and affecting its performance. IP stands for International Protection. See Information.

All LEWDEN IEC 60309-2 products rated 16A and 32A pass an impact test of 1 Joule which is the same impact as an IK 06 rating. 63A and 125A products pass an impact test at 2 Joules, equivalent to IK 07. The IK test is carried out at room temperature whereas the IEC 60309-2 test is carried out at -25oC, which is much more demanding.
