- Suitable for indoor equipment, normal workshop and dry environment.
- Not suitable for outdoor rainy or wet occasions.
IP67
- Fully dust-proof, resistant to short-term water immersion within 1 meter.
- Most cost-effective grade for industrial, outdoor, marine and machinery use.
- It is the mainstream standard for waterproof metal push button switches.
IP68
