Electrical enclosure Eaton CI43E-150 IP65

The Eaton CI43E-150 electrical enclosure with IP65 protection is built to house and protect electrical components in demanding environments. With dimensions of 175 mm width, 375 mm depth and 250 mm height, this compact enclosure offers a weatherproof and dustproof cabinet suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The robust construction delivers mechanical strength and environmental resistance required for control panels, junctions and small distribution assemblies.

Advantages

The IP65-rated body prevents ingress of dust and protects against low-pressure water jets, reducing the risk of component failure due to environmental exposure. The enclosure’s compact footprint conserves space while providing sufficient internal volume for wiring, terminal blocks and small control devices. Durable materials and a secure closing mechanism enhance long-term reliability and simplify maintenance cycles.

Suitable for

• Housing small control and automation components
• Protecting junctions and terminal blocks in industrial areas
• Enclosing sensors, relays and PLCs in machine cabinets
• Temporary outdoor installations where splash resistance is required

Key specifications

• Protection class: IP65 (dust tight and protected against water jets)
• External dimensions (W × D × H): 175 × 375 × 250 mm
• Material: robust corrosion-resistant construction (manufacturer typical materials for this model)
• Mounting: wall-mountable with internal mounting area for DIN rails or backplate installation
• Access: hinged or removable front for easy internal access and maintenance

How to use

Select an appropriate mounting location that keeps cable runs practical and complies with local electrical codes. Secure the enclosure to a suitable surface using the mounting points provided, then install DIN rails or a backplate if required. Route and terminate cables through designated cable entry points or knockouts, using suitable grommets or cable glands to preserve IP65 integrity. Arrange components inside to leave space for cooling and access, and close the enclosure ensuring the gasket and fasteners are correctly seated to maintain the environmental seal.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the enclosure gasket and fasteners for wear or damage and clean external surfaces to prevent buildup of debris. Use correctly rated cable glands and ensure cable entries remain sealed after installation. For installations exposed to strong chemical agents or extreme UV, verify material compatibility with site conditions before prolonged outdoor deployment.
