Determination of waterproof level of waterproof button switch

Whether in life or work, the presence of water is inevitable, and our dependence on water is also very high. So, in daily use of products, how to increase their waterproofness is the practical issue we should consider. So, after the waterproof button switch is made, how should we judge the waterproof performance of this product and what kind of height can it reach?

The waterproofing of products also has a certain level. Some products can meet the needs of daily life, while others can be used normally even in a damp state for a long time. So the waterproof performance of a product determines its service life and usage level.

So, when purchasing a waterproof button switch, how to understand what kind of waterproof level the switch meets? It is mainly based on the number on the IP to distinguish. The number after the IP is a two digit number, with the first digit ranging from 0 to 6 and the last digit ranging from 0 to 8. So if you see IP68 on the back of the purchased switch, it means that the waterproof switch has a very high rating.

Secondly, it is necessary to check the product certificate, as switches with waterproof properties are tested for their waterproof characteristics during sales. If they meet the corresponding requirements, a certification certificate will be issued, especially for exported switches that need to comply with the waterproof standards of the country of entry in order to successfully land.

Another aspect is the functionality involved in the design of waterproof button switches, which have a long service life, high temperature resistance, and can also withstand high current shocks. In the process of daily use, individuals choose corresponding products according to their actual needs.

For example, the switches we install in the bathroom are mostly waterproof switches, which can maintain their function in humid environments for a long time and also have corresponding safety. A general button switch with a waterproof cover can only serve a temporary purpose, and if individuals do not pay attention to it during use, corresponding safety issues may arise. The use of waterproof button switches directly eliminates this possibility, providing users with stronger security guarantees.
