Discover WEIPU’s IP68 Connectors: SP & WK20 Series for Extreme Environments
When it comes to ensuring reliable connectivity in harsh environments, waterproof connectors are a must. Whether you’re working in outdoor applications, industrial settings, or marine environments, connectors that offer high protection against water and dust are critical. WEIPU’s IP68-rated connectors—specifically the SP and WK20 series—offer a robust solution designed to meet the demanding needs of industries ranging from automation to energy.
What is IP68 Protection?
IP68 is one of the highest protection ratings for connectors, indicating that the connector is fully protected against dust ingress (dust-tight) and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1-meter depth. For industries like outdoor lighting, renewable energy, and industrial automation, connectors with IP68 protection are a must-have to ensure uninterrupted performance, even in extreme conditions.
