Waterproof screen for LED tube 1 x 1200 mm with connection at two ends IP65 T8 G13

• E12: Diameter of 12mm, this is a tamYear smaller than the most commonly used standard E27.
• E14: It is the second most common cap, only varies a little of the E27, with a diameter of 14 to 17 mm. It is normally used for bulbs or lamps.
• E27: This is the most common cap. It has a thick cup shape with thread to be able to adapt to the connector. It measures 27mm wide.
• E40: Has a diameter of 40 mm, it is the largest thread of this tIpo.
• G4: With a distance between pins of 4.0 mm. It is a type of cap that is frequently used in appliqués, ceiling lamps and hanging lamps.
• G5.3: With a distance between pins of 5.33 mm. The GU 5.3 socket format is a format widely used in small led floodlights with transformer. Usually used in halogen lamps and dichroic halogens.
• GY6.35: With a distance between pins of 6.35 mm, trOf a model similar to the previous one.
• G9: With a ditancia between pins of 9,0 mm. Usually used for ceiling lamps and hanging lamps.
• G13: With a distance between pins of 12,7 mm. It is used in fluorescent tubes.
• GX53: With distance between pins of 53 mm. Its most common use is the installation in light bulbs to illuminate furniture or unusual places. It does not need transformer.
• GU10: With a distance between10 mm pins. The GU10 bushing shape is a widely used format in small transformerless LED spotlights. Usually used in dichroic halogen lamps.
• B22: Type of bayonet connector used in countries such as Africa, India and Ireland.
• MR16: Its use is normally limited to 12V halogen lamps.

The IP65 standard defines a specific level of protection provided by electrical and electronic equipment enclosures against the intrusion of solid objects and liquids.

This protection rating is governed by the international standard IEC 60529, where the first digit (6) indicates total protection against contact and the ingress of dust, ensuring the system is hermetically sealed against fine particles. The second digit (5) certifies resistance against low-pressure water jets from any angle using a 6.3 mm nozzle. This classification is essential for devices operating in industrial environments where cleaning, humidity, or airborne particles could compromise the integrity of internal circuits.

The adoption of this standard has transformed the deployment of critical infrastructure and IoT devices in outdoor environments. Its balance between manufacturing cost and sealing level allows outdoor displays and industrial sensors to maintain continuous operation without bulky secondary protection, optimizing thermal dissipation despite the enclosure's airtightness.

Ingress Testing

To achieve IP65 certification, equipment undergoes a vacuum test to ensure no dust particles enter. It is then subjected to a water spray test where the water volume must not impair the device's function or accumulate near critical components.

Main Advantages

• Total protection against high-density dust environments.
• Ability to withstand standard water cleaning procedures.
• Extended electronics lifespan against atmospheric corrosion.
• Versatility for outdoor and industrial installations.

Note: IP65 does not certify resistance to immersion or high-pressure water jets (IP66/67).
