What is splashproof?

Splashproof has improved the durability and reliability of electronic devices. Nowadays, it is essential to provide them with adequate protection to prevent deterioration caused by contact with water. This innovative technology that provides an additional layer of security to electronic components, what exactly does it consist of?

Splashproof, a remarkable technical advantage

Knowing the correct pronunciation of splashproof is important, but much less important than understanding the importance of this protection of circuits against water. Shielding these electronic components from damage caused by splashes of water or other liquids is of vital importance.

How does it work? In general terms, it involves applying a special protective layer on the circuits and internal connections of electronic devices, capable of forming a waterproof barrier that prevents the entry of water. In practice, it acts as a shield, keeping the components dry and protected, even in very humid conditions or environments. Likewise, this coating offers protection against other liquids, such as oil, coffee and soft drinks.

Its use is especially valuable in portable devices – mobile phones, smart watches and wireless headphones – to which it provides a longer lifespan.

Electronic components with extra protection

Having this circuit protection offers numerous advantages:

  1. Its additional layer of protection against liquid splashes helps prevent damage and breakdowns in the devices.
  2. It safeguards against humidity and condensation, which is especially useful in humid environments or with sudden changes in temperature.
  3. It keeps the performance and design of the electronic components intact, since it is a thin and transparent layer that does not alter their operation.
  4. It increases the durability of the equipment, inhibiting costly repairs or premature replacements.

Circuit protection

Electronic components that incorporate this additional layer have been designed and manufactured to withstand exposure to liquids or humidity. Consequently, they can be used with greater confidence in environments where their presence is common, such as kitchens, bathrooms or outdoors.

Splashproof components operate in the same way as those without splashproof; neither functionality nor performance is affected in any way. Thanks to splashproof, the reliability of the device’s quality and safety in use are multiplied.

Differences between water resistance and splashproof protection

There are obvious differences between waterproof and splashproof, especially in relation to the level of effectiveness and the type of exposure:

Waterproof, or water resistance, implies that the device can withstand complete immersion in water for a certain period.

Splashproof protection protects against accidental splashes or spills of liquids, but does not guarantee its operation under water. This technology uses special coatings or hermetic seals to prevent water from penetrating the components, providing an additional layer of protection against possible damage.

In other words, both terms refer to liquid shielding, but water resistance is more rigorous and complete.

In any case, when looking for the highest quality in splashproof electronic circuits, contacting M2B is the best decision. Following them on social media allows you to learn about the latest developments in their activity first-hand.
