What is an IP rating?

The IP rating, also known as the Protection Class or International Protection Class, is defined by the international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992). This standard is used to define the effectiveness of sealing electrical enclosures against the intrusion of foreign objects such as tools, dust and moisture.  

What do the two digits in the IP rating mean?

The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits; if an X is used instead of a digit, the enclosure does not meet the specification.

IP65 = first digit - solids

The first digit indicates the level of protection the enclosure provides against the entry of hazardous components (electrical conductors, moving parts, etc.) and solid foreign objects.

IP65 = Second digit - liquids

The second digit defines the enclosure's protection against all forms of moisture (dripping, spraying, submersion, etc.).

What IP rating do you need?

If you are not anticipating harsh environments with dust or moisture, then a lower IP rating will be sufficient.

Applications that involve a lot of dust, debris, or may come in contact with any solids or liquids, you need to ensure that the IP rating is higher and that your touch screen or LCD display solution is sufficiently water resistant to take advantage of.
