Making a splash in water-resistant digital devices

摘要

Since water-resistant standards play a big role in making expensive handheld and wearable digital devices more durable, the industry has adopted the IPX7 rating, which protects against immersion in water for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 m. Yet the critical element in meeting or exceeding these higher standards is something most consumers are barely aware of - micro fasteners that must lock out moisture while also complementing the aesthetics of the phone, watch or tablet design. Making devices that are eye-catching as well as water, air and dust proof adds incredible value to a new product.
