Polycarbonate enclosures are enclosures made from polycarbonate that have many advantages that make them ideal for use in a variety of applications including electronics, automotive, construction, and medical equipment.
Features of the polycarbonate housing for IP67 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and corrosion resistance C5 include:
IP67 degree of protection
An IP67 rating means the polycarbonate case is dust and water resistant. This means the polycarbonate housing will keep out dust and water, making it ideal for applications in harsh environments. For example, IP67-rated polycarbonate enclosures are available for outdoor-mounted lighting and electronics.
IK10 impact resistance rating
The IK10 impact rating means that the polycarbonate shell can withstand a 20-joule impact. This means that the polycarbonate housing can resist being hit by hard objects, making it ideal for applications that are prone to bumps. For example, IK10 impact-rated polycarbonate enclosures are available for equipment in industrial environments.
Anti-corrosion grade C5
Corrosion protection class C5 means that the polycarbonate housing is resistant to salt spray corrosion. This means that the polycarbonate shell is resistant to corrosion by salt water, making it ideal for applications in coastal areas and other environments with high salt content. For example, polycarbonate enclosures with corrosion protection class C5 are used for equipment on ships and offshore platforms.
Polycarbonate enclosures are an extremely durable and versatile material with many advantages that make them ideal for a variety of applications. The IP67 rating of the polycarbonate housing, IK10 impact rating, and C5 corrosion resistance make it ideal for applications in harsh environments.
