How Can The Homogenization Of Smartphones, Which Is Too Severe, Turn The Tide?

The Appearance Is Similar And Almost Identical

On the screen, there are 2.5D curved glass, curved screen, borderless design, and the pursuit of the limit of screen to body ratio indicators, 'You have me, everyone has' has almost become a standard feature of mainstream models.

The Functions Are Roughly The Same

Memory and chips are no longer exclusive secrets. In the era of cost-effective replacement, chips and performance are only a "basic component"

Waterproof Has Become A New Standard For Flagship Phones

How to waterproof smartphones? In fact, there have been traditional waterproof technologies before, but their waterproof capabilities are limited, resulting in poor waterproof performance.Nowadays, the new generation of technology has matured, and there are two types of waterproofing for smartphones: one is external waterproofing, including gaps between the phone case and screen, headphone/USB jack, speaker/microphone/earpiece, and physical button gaps; The second part is internal waterproofing, including battery protection, socket and motherboard connections, and motherboard. Nowadays, smart waterproof smartphones on the market can achieve different levels of waterproofing.From low to high, for example, Huawei Honor 3 has a waterproof rating of IP57, mainly due to the gap between the phone case and screen, waterproof headphone USB jack, and battery protection. Apple iPhone 7s, waterproof rating IP67, external Type-C interface waterproof, internal SIM card holder, and speaker/microphone/earpiece waterproof. The Samsung S7 has a waterproof rating of up to IP68, mainly for the headphone/USB jack, speaker/microphone earpiece, physical button gaps, and SIM card holder.Get Free Waterproofing Solutions

Parameter Comparison

High Precision Technology For New Materials

Traditional Waterproofing Technology

New technology:Metal inserts and LSR composite molding, LSR is non-toxic, odorless, and free of by-products. It has high mechanical strength, good elasticity, fast and convenient molding, and can be made into differentiated products in different forms, reducing the burden on mobile phones. Metal parts and plastic composite molding make liquid silicone highly waterproof and resistant to aging. LSR and metal composites can be added throughout the body for comprehensive waterproofingTraditional craft:Traditional waterproof mobile phones rely on rubber rings on hardware, which have poor waterproof performance; Traditional technology waterproof cover plugs bring inconvenience to charging and headphone use, and are not easy to dissipate heat; By relying on waterproof covers to isolate liquids, it will loosen and age over time, and the waterproof function will become ineffective
Material Science:Metal and LSR composite formingMaterial Science:Hardware+rubber ring
Physical characteristics:Non toxic and odorless, with extremely strong tensile strengthPhysical characteristics:No environmental protection, poor tensile strength
Principle:Metal inlay and plastic composite moldingPrinciple:Put rubber rings on the hardware
Heat dissipation:Strong heat dissipation capabilityHeat dissipation:Not easy to dissipate heat
Performance:Aging resistant, fully waterproofPerformance:Easy to loosen and age
Waterproof grade:IP67-IP68Waterproof grade:Below IP56
Airtightness:1.5-50m water pressure 100paAirtightness:0
Overall:Waterproof performance can reach the highest levelOverall:Low waterproof performance

IPX Waterproof Rating Standard

The international industrial waterproof rating standard IPX and the Japanese industrial waterproof standard JS level are consistent.What is the 9-level IP rating system divided into 0-8?
Waterproof LevelDustproof Level
Level 0:No protectionLevel 0:No protection
Level 1:Can eliminate the harmful effects of vertically falling water dropsLevel 1:Can protect against solids <50 mm (diameter, the same below), such as palms
Level 2:Has a protective effect on water drops falling within 15 degrees from the vertical directionLevel 2:Protected against solid objects <12.5 mm, such as fingers
Level 3:Can eliminate the harmful effects of spray-like water drops at 60 degrees from the vertical directionLevel 3:Protected against solid objects <2.5 mm, such as screwdrivers
Level 4:Can eliminate the harmful effects of splashing water drops from different directionsLevel 4:Protected against solid objects <1 mm, such as wires
Level 5:Can eliminate the harmful effects of water jets from nozzles in all directionsLevel 5:Protected against dust sufficient to cause harm
Level 6:Can eliminate the harmful effects of strong water jets from nozzles in all directionsLevel 6:Completely protected against dust intrusion
Level 7:The top is 0.15-1 meters away from the water surface for 30 minutes, the performance is not affected, and there is no water leakage
Level 8:The top is 1.5-30 meters away from the water surface for 30 minutes, the performance is not affected, and there is no water leakage

Water Splash Waterproof

For some mobile phones with average waterproof performance, as long as they have a splashproof capability of level 6 or below, they can prevent some daily alcohol and rain from invading the phone.It is rainproof and splashproof but not handproof. It needs to be wiped dry in time. The waterproof level is low.

Intrusive Waterproofing

Level 7 means that the device can withstand immersion in water within 1 meter for up to 30 minutes without water entering the interior. Level 8 standard goes a step further and can ensure that the device is safe and sound after being immersed in water below 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.It can prevent water intrusion when sinking, and the top is 1.5-30 meters away from the water surface to ensure that the performance is not affected and there is no water leakage (the waterproof level can reach the highest level of IP67-ip68).

Waterproof Crest, No Mold Line

The product accuracy can reach ±0.02mm and the highest waterproof level is IP68.

Waterproof parts mainly use the elastic extrusion of the silicone waterproof ring crest and the sealing of the matching parts to achieve the waterproof purpose.

SiliconePlus has unique spherical structure research and development technology, and can provide complete DFM reports and solutions for waterproof projects.
