Protection of equipment against ingress of solid foreign bodies and
water. IP (Ingress Protection) and 2 figures (eg 65) indicates
protection class, the first figure indicating the degree of protection
against ingress of solid foreign objects, and the second figure
indicating the degree of protection against ingress of water.

What is crimping?
Crimping is a method of permanently joining wires/cables to connectors
whereby the conductor is inserted into the barrel of the connector and
then compressed about the wire to form a solid joint. Technically the
two parts are deformed at such a high pressure that a cold flow of the
material is accomplished, oxide layers are broken up and a high quality
gas tight connection is obtained, the mechanical and electrical
properties of which exceed those of the wire itself.
Optimal deformation is the compromise between electrical requirements
against mechanical specifications. Our graph shows that the optimum
crimp compression for many types of connectors lies between 10 and 20%
of the initial cross-section. Theamount and type of deformation must be
engineered to provide the optimal electrical and mechanical
characteristics required for a particular application.
