Surface-mounted junction box ELEKTROPLAST EP-LUX IP55 with insert for 5 x 2.5 mm² conductors (model 0226-11)

Surface-mounted junction box ELEKTROPLAST EP-LUX IP55 with removable insert for five conductors up to 2.5 mm² is designed for secure electrical connections in environments where dust and water jets may occur. The compact enclosure is intended for surface installation and provides a protected space for splices, terminals and small distribution points. Its IP55 classification ensures reliable resistance to dust ingress and to water projected by a nozzle, making it suitable for interior areas and sheltered exterior locations.

Advantages

The EP-LUX IP55 junction box features a removable insert that simplifies wiring and maintenance, allowing easy access to conductor connections without dismantling the entire enclosure. Constructed from durable material with a sealing gasket, the housing maintains the IP55 protection rating during normal use. The box accepts up to five conductors of 2.5 mm² each, enabling compact connection points for lighting circuits, control lines or branch splices.

Suitable for

• Surface-mounted lighting junctions and lamp connections
• Small distribution points and branch splices in household and commercial installations
• Protected outdoor locations such as covered facades, canopies or shelters
• Control circuits and signal wiring requiring dust and splash protection

Key specifications

• Enclosure type: surface-mounted junction box
• Ingress protection: IP55 (protection against dust and water jets)
• Insert: removable insert for easier access to connections
• Conductor capacity: up to five conductors, each up to 2.5 mm²
• Material: durable insulating enclosure with sealing gasket (material specified by manufacturer)
• Typical applications: lighting circuits, small distribution and control connections

How to use

Mount the junction box on a flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Remove the removable insert to route conductors into the enclosure and make required splices or terminal connections according to applicable wiring standards and safety regulations. Re-seat the insert and ensure the sealing gasket is properly positioned before closing the enclosure to maintain IP55 protection. Verify all connections are secure and, if necessary, use suitable cable glands or conduit entries where cables enter the box to preserve the ingress protection level.

Usage recommendations

Use the junction box in locations consistent with its IP55 rating: indoors or in protected outdoor areas where exposure to heavy rain or full immersion is unlikely. Ensure that conductors do not exceed 2.5 mm² per terminal and follow local electrical codes for splicing and insulation. For long-term outdoor exposure or environments with direct water jets at high pressure, consider enclosures with a higher ingress protection rating.
