An IP54 rating indicates that the enclosure offers limited protection against dust ingress (enough to prevent operational issues) and protection against water splashes from any direction.
It is ideal for indoor and light outdoor applications where moderate protection against environmental factors is required.

No, IP54 enclosures are not fully waterproof. They are designed to resist water splashes but are not suitable for direct exposure to heavy rain, submersion, or high-pressure jets.
If you need full waterproof protection, an IP66 or IP67 enclosure would be more appropriate.

IP54 enclosures are commonly used in:

• Indoor industrial environments

• Light outdoor applications (under shelter)

• Electrical control panels

• Instrument housings

• Telecommunications and networking equipment They provide enough protection for typical factory floors, workshops, warehouses, and public installations under controlled conditions.

IP54 enclosures can be manufactured from various materials, depending on the application, including:

• ABS plastic (cost-effective, lightweight)

• Polycarbonate (high impact resistance, UV protection)

• Aço inoxidável (excellent for durability and hygiene-sensitive environments)

• Alumínio (lightweight and corrosion-resistant)

Choosing the right material depends on the specific environmental and mechanical demands of your project.
