The waterproof RF coaxial connectors are usually work in the water and they are waterproof. The power cable and the net cable can be put in their internal. No only can they provide normal and reliable power, single transmission, but also can be waterproof and dustproof.
The standard for waterproof is according to IP waterproof grade standard, we can see, the number XX after IPXX is to express the waterproof performance.
The first number after IP: It is for the part's protection against solid objects like dust and sand. This number can range from 0, means no protection against dust and sand, and 6, meaning 100% protection against dust and sand.
The second number after IP: It is for the part's protection against liquids. It ranges from 0 to 8.
Below is a chart showing other IP ratings:
First number (Protection against solid objects) | Definition | Second number (Protection | Definition |
0 | No protection | 0 | No protection |
1 | Protected against solid objects over 50mm | 1 | Protected against vertically falling drops of water |
2 | Protected against solid objects over 12mm | 2 | Protected against direct sprays up to 15o from the vertical |
3 | Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm | 3 | Protected against direct sprays up to 60o from the vertical |
4 | Protected against solid objects over 1mm | 4 | Protected against sprays from all directions - limited ingress permitted |
5 | Protected against dust - limited ingress | 5 | Protected against low pressure jets if water from all directions - limited ingress permitted |
6 | Totally protected | 6 | Protected against strong jets of water e.g. for use on ship decks - limited ingress permitted |
7 | Protected against the effects of temporary immersion between 15cm and 1m. Duration of test 30 minutes | ||
8 | Protected against long periods of immersion under pressure |
With the development of technology, in our daily life, we use many things with electric. They may no safe, so the the applications with waterproof are very important. The waterproof connector has excellent sealing and reliable waterproof performance. For example, some devices need to be fixed in the water or at the buttom of the water, if we use waterproof rf coaxial connectors, then we needn't worry about the water especially the water contains many chemical substances will destroy the devices.
The appearance of waterproof connectors is widely used in many areas. Like the industrial environment, cable, urban outdoor lighting project, lighthouse, cruise ship, aviation and so on. Due to the application of strict requirements, the Military field uses many waterproof connectors, such as submarine connector, submarine-launched missile connector and so on.
