FAQ
- Q: IP65 vs IP66—when do I need IP66?
A: Choose IP66 for close-range, high-flow washdowns or frequent jet cleaning; IP65 is fine for rain/splash. - Q: Can I upgrade to a dual-seal design later?
A: Yes—spec a dual-seal-ready groove now; add the inner seal and stiffer latch set later. - Q: What gasket material suits cameras/drones?
A: EPDM is general-purpose; NBR for oil exposure; silicone for wide temperature ranges. - Q: How to prevent fogging/condensation?
A: Add a pressure vent + desiccant pack; avoid trapping wet gear inside. - Q: Does hard anodizing affect RF/wireless?
A: No significant impact; aluminum is conductive either way. Avoid full Faraday enclosure if you need live signals—use a window/port. - Q: Can mounts for tripods or MOLLE panels be added?
A: Yes, via reinforced inserts and a sealed backplate to maintain IP. - Q: What about UV exposure?
A: Use UV-stable powder or sealed anodizing; avoid dark colors in hot climates to reduce heat soak. - Q: Any airline battery regulations to consider?
A: For Li-ion gear, follow UN38.3/IATA rules; include a label pocket if needed.
