FAQ

Q1: What is the engineering significance of the "continuous underpressure" used during Tai-Huei's IP6X testing?

A1: This represents the most severe testing configuration stipulated by the IEC 60529 standard for the first characteristic numeral 6 (highest dust protection). While basic dust testing merely allows a product to sit passively in a dusty chamber, "continuous underpressure" utilizes a vacuum pump to draw air out of the Tai-Huei 2W coil, rendering its internal air pressure lower than the outside atmosphere.

This differential creates a powerful inward suction force that actively draws external dust into any micro-gaps or lead-wire exits. Securing a PASS under this forced vacuum condition demonstrates that our physical encapsulation forms a absolute, airtight defense.

Q2: Was this report issued by a TAF-accredited laboratory? How does this assist international B2B procurement?

A2: Yes. The title page of the report prominently features the TAF (Taiwan Accreditation Foundation) accreditation mark, identifying the certified testing laboratory code as 1090. TAF is a full signatory member of the ILAC-MRA (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation - Mutual Recognition Arrangement).

Consequently, technical test reports issued by this MIRDC laboratory are officially recognized and legally equivalent across more than 100 countries and territories worldwide—including North America, the European Union, Japan, and ASEAN states. Global buyers do not need to repeat entry testing locally, accelerating custom clearances and machinery compliance tracking.

Q3: The "7" in IP67 indicates submersion readiness. Does this mean Tai-Huei 2W lead-wire solenoid valves can be permanently installed underwater?

A3: According to the IEC 60529 specification, IPX7 denotes protection against Temporary Immersion—defined as submersion at a 1-meter depth for up to 30 minutes without harmful water ingress. The Tai-Huei 2W coil achieved a perfect pass under these exact criteria.

If your specific machinery configuration demands continuous, indefinite water submersion or deep-sea operations, we recommend selecting Tai-Huei’s ultra-premium DT Series Solenoid Coils, which are certified to IP68 (Continuous Submersion) standards to safely meet permanent underwater engineering requirements.

Q4: The test report specifies the "2W TWO WIRES TYPE COIL." How does its waterproof capability compare to plug-in (DL Type / DIN Plug) coils?

A4: The 2W Two-Wires Type Coil features a continuous lead-wire design where the heavy-duty conductor wire is molded directly out of the encapsulated body, eliminating the physical seams found in mechanical plug-and-socket configurations. This structural optimization ensures superior geometric airtightness when resisting the transient hydrostatic pressures of temporary submersion (IPX7).

In comparison, Tai-Huei's DL Type (DIN Plug Type) solenoid coils are certified to IP65 standards. The DL series excels in indoor environments demanding rapid assembly, toolless replacement, and convenient maintenance, providing excellent protection against standard low-pressure wash-down water jets.

OEMs can optimize their selection based on the operational environment: choose 2W Two-Wires Type Coil for rain-exposed, flooded, or high-humidity applications, and DL DIN-Plug Coils for indoor, splash-heavy automated factory lines.

This permanently eliminates micro-pores and micro-fractures often triggered by temperature fluctuations (thermal expansion and contraction).
• Heavy-Duty Heavy-Industrial Outlet Protection (Deutsch Style): The termination interface where the conductor wires exit the coil body undergoes a secondary high-pressure potting procedure and is equipped with a thick, weatherproof protective sleeve (as shown in the physical photos on pages 3 and 4 of the report). This completely eradicates capillary action through the wire jacket, ensuring absolute insulation resistance at the lead interface under high hydrostatic pressures.
• Standardized End-of-Line Quality Assurance: Tai-Huei has standardized this MIRDC-verified IP68 manufacturing methodology across the mass production lines of our HD-G02/G03 Series high-flow solenoid directional control valves. Every batch of our DT Deutsch connector series coils undergoes high-precision pneumatic leak testing prior to factory delivery, ensuring that mass-produced components share the identical extreme-environment resilience as the samples certified by the MIRDC.

IV. Global Heavy Industrial B2B Applications: Unlocking Competitive Edge

Backed by authoritative MIRDC IP68 certification, Tai-Huei's DT Deutsch Connector Series solenoid directional valves have become the standard protection configuration for international heavy equipment OEMs exporting specialized machinery:

• Marine, Port Machinery & Dredging Engineering: Deployed in the hydraulic circuits of shipboard deck cranes, mooring winches, trawl control systems, and dredging vessels. Even when subjected to continuous crashing waves or submerged in seawater for extended periods due to tidal shifts, the valves maintain absolute control accuracy.
• Underground Shielding & Tunnel Boring Equipment: Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) operate under intense subterranean water pressure, abrasive mud, and high-concentration rock dust fallout. The IP68 rating of the DT series ensures that the hydraulic directional control valves experience zero short-circuit failures while surrounded by high-pressure slurry mixtures.
• Specialized Off-Road & Wading Vehicles: Military-grade heavy wading trucks, open-pit mining dump trucks, and emergency flood-rescue pump vehicles. The IP68 configuration ensures that the central fluid power brain operates flawlessly underwater during deep wading missions or severe flood rescue deployments.

FAQ

Q1: What is the technical advancement of the IPX8 test parameters ("1,200 mm, 60 minutes") compared to standard IPX7 ratings?

A1: Under the international IEC 60529 standard, the parameters for IPX7 waterproof testing are fixed (submersion at 1,000 mm depth for 30 minutes). Conversely, IPX8 represents the highest waterproof tier, where the standard does not enforce fixed numbers but mandates that the parameters must comprehensively exceed IPX7 and be custom-specified between the manufacturer and the laboratory.

Tai-Huei purposefully raised the water depth to 1,200 mm (increasing hydrostatic pressure by 20%) and doubled the submersion time to 60 minutes (1 hour). Passing this test certifies that the DT Series provides vastly superior resistance to high hydrostatic pressure and a significantly longer lifespan against moisture penetration compared to standard IP67 products.

Q2: How is the TAF 1090 accreditation on the report viewed by European (CE) and American machinery buyers?

A2: The recognition is 100% absolute. TAF (Taiwan Accreditation Foundation) is a full signatory member of the ILAC-MRA (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation - Mutual Recognition Arrangement).

Consequently, technical test reports issued by the Electrical Safety Laboratory of the MIRDC (Testing Laboratory Code: 1090) possess equal legal and technical authority across more than 100 countries and territories worldwide—including the European Union, the United States, and Japan. This ensures seamless technical compliance verification within modern global B2B supply chains.

Q3: In actual project engineering, how should I evaluate the environment to choose between the DT Deutsch Connector Coil (IP68) and the DL DIN Plug Connector (IP65)?

A3: The selection depends entirely on the specific machinery operational environment:

• DL DIN Plug Connectors (IP65): Feature a quick-disconnect plug design, making them exceptionally convenient for frequent removal, replacement, and routine maintenance. They are ideal for indoor automated machine shops and CNC environments characterized by heavy coolant splashing and water sprays, but where components are never submerged.
• DT Deutsch Connector Coils (IP68): Eliminate the structural seams of mechanical plug-and-socket junctions by overmolding and potting the lead-wire directly out of the high-pressure housing. They are engineered for permanent outdoor equipment or underwater hydraulic systems that face standing water immersion, long-term wading, or extreme environmental pressure. For underwater operations, the DT coil series is the ultimate engineering solution.

Q4: The test report was issued on April 19, 2018. Have any structural modifications been made to Tai-Huei's products since then?

A4: This report (No. SC018186(E)) represents the standardized baseline physical limit testing for Tai-Huei's DT Deutsch Connector Coil. Upon passing the rigorous MIRDC evaluation, that specific proprietary resin formula ratio and high-pressure injection molding workflow were institutionalized as mandatory manufacturing standards (SOPs) across our production lines. Today in 2026, every DT series product delivered to our customers inherits this identical technical craftsmanship, ensuring field performance lines up perfectly with this national-level report.
