IP68

IP68 is an Ingress Protection (IP) rating commonly used to describe the level of protection a device has against the intrusion of solid particles and liquids. It’s often associated with smartphones, smartwatches, and other electronic devices, especially those designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions.

In the case of IP68:
– The “6” in the first digit means the device is completely dust-tight. It’s designed to prevent any solid particles, including dust, from entering.
– The “8” in the second digit indicates that the device is capable of being immersed in water beyond 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) for an extended period of time. The exact depth and duration can vary depending on the manufacturer, but it generally implies a high degree of water resistance or even waterproofing.

In simpler terms, an IP68-rated device is highly resistant to dust and can be submerged in water without getting damaged. However, the specific capabilities may still vary among different devices, so it’s always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s specifications for exact details.
