IP68 first entered the public’s vision and appeared in the function promotion of mobile phone brands. At present, the three well-known mobile phone brands of Samsung, Apple, and Huawei have launched IP68-level waterproof mobile phones, which have become one of the differences from other mobile phone brands. Big selling point. So, what kind of waterproof level does IP68 represent? Is there a need for such a level of protection in other industries?

What is IP68?

The IP protection level is drafted by the International Electrotechnical Association IEC (International Electro Technical Commission). IP stands for Ingress Protection (ingress protection). The IP level protection system provides a level of protection against dust, water and collision of electrical equipment and packaging. Method of classification. This system is recognized by most European countries, and the classification method is announced by IEC in IED529 (BS EN 60529: 1992) outer packaging protection level (IP code).

The IP protection level is expressed by the following two numbers, which are used to clarify the protection level. The first number indicates the scope of the equipment's resistance to dust, or the degree to which people are protected from hazards in a sealed environment. I represents the level of preventing solid foreign objects from entering, and the highest level is 6; the second number indicates the degree of water resistance of the equipment, P Represents the level of preventing water ingress, the highest level is 8.

From the explanation of IP protection level, we can know that IP68 has reached the highest IEC protection level, and it is not only waterproof but also dustproof. In actual applications, mobile phones may fall into water or be used in dusty environments. The brand of mobile phones will increase the level of protection and add more security to the electronic products necessary for the lives of the public.

In actual use, most users have very little perception of the protection level of the mobile phone. Even if it falls into the water, as long as it is immediately taken out, there is no major obstacle to use after drying. What's more is about the phone configuration, such as battery life, camera filters, and chip-equipped functions that have strong actual experience. The IP68 level of protection can be said to be an "invisible function" in the mobile phone industry, and the experience is not strong, which has also become one of the reasons why many mobile phone manufacturers do not carry this function.

Socket encounters water problem

In fact, in addition to mobile phones, in the socket industry, IP protection level is a "just-needed" existence. Everyone knows that water conducts electricity, and there are countless life and property safety accidents caused by electric shock caused by water in sockets. At present, traditional sockets are basically based on The waterproof box and waterproof cover are used as external protection, and do not fundamentally solve the hazard of electric shock when the socket encounters water.

In our life scenes, the kitchen and bathroom are the most vulnerable to water. The sockets in the bathroom are prone to creeping when exposed to water, causing electric shocks to the human body. The use of hair dryers and smart toilets is also very frequent, and water vapor entering the sockets can easily cause short circuits. Phenomenon: The sockets used in kitchen appliances are prone to water vapor, which can easily cause leakage and short circuits and accidental electric shocks.

There are more life scenes, and irreparable losses may be caused by electric shock at any time.

Pain point 1: The child is naughty and worried about accidental electric shock

Pain point 2: Outdoor charging, easy to leak and get electric shock

Pain point 3: Kitchen environment, the socket is difficult to prevent moisture and waterproof

Personal injury accidents caused by electric shock happen frequently, which is an experience that we can personally experience in our daily life. This is very different from the experience of waterproof and dustproof mobile phones. In order to truly solve the hidden dangers of socket use, it is still necessary to implement active protection from the source and truly improve the safety factor of sockets.

A real waterproof socket

Zhou Gang, the founder of Algonlei Technology, pioneered the "absolute electricity technology", which fundamentally solved the three major global electricity safety problems of "leakage, short circuit, and electric spark". Really active protection at the source, it is also the world's first strong waterproof and dustproof socket that truly reaches IP68 level.

The socket has passed the IP68 level protection test, that is, the dustproof level reaches IP6X, which can prevent accidents caused by the use of the socket in dusty environments, and the waterproof level reaches IPX8, which can prevent accidents caused by the use of the socket in humid environments. Moreover, the insulated socket has also passed the Chinese standard GB shell protection level standard test, reaching IPX9 level. In the laboratory test, the protection level of the insulated socket is much higher than the existing highest standard.

Insulated sockets can be widely used in various humid environments, such as kitchen and bathroom environments, outdoor places, underground facilities, marine docks and other wading environments, which can truly improve people's safety factor in electricity use in production and life, and release electricity constraints. Imagine being able to clean the greased socket cover in the kitchen with detergent, and plug the hair dryer plug into the socket with wet hands in the bathroom. The outdoor charging pile is no longer afraid of short-circuiting rainwater, allowing more electricity to be used. The scene has more possibilities because it is not afraid of water.

Insulated electrical sockets can provide safe and reliable power connection protection for thousands of families, industrial and mining enterprises, government agencies and other places, and provide the most solid guarantee for the safe use of electricity
