Enclosure box ELEKTROPLAST EP-LUX PK-8 IP55 196×196×78 mm (0231-00)

The ELEKTROPLAST EP-LUX PK-8 enclosure is a compact, IP55-rated electrical box with external dimensions of 196×196×78 mm designed for mounting on walls or inside protected structures. Supplied without an internal insert, this enclosure is intended to house switches, terminal blocks and small control components for light distribution, junctions and basic control circuits in indoor or sheltered outdoor environments. The IP55 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making the box suitable where moderate environmental sealing is required.

Advantages

The enclosure offers a balance of compact footprint and usable internal space while maintaining IP55 dust and water protection. Its standardized rectangular form factor simplifies installation on flat surfaces and integration with common mounting hardware. The absence of a preinstalled insert provides flexibility to fit customized assemblies or commercially available DIN-rail or panel-mounted parts. The enclosure is made to industry-typical dimensions for easy replacement or upgrade of existing small junction boxes.

Suitable for

• Housing switches and push-buttons in control panels and small machines
• Protecting terminal blocks and wire junctions in lighting and power distribution
• Enclosing small control modules, relays or sensor interfaces in sheltered outdoor locations
• Wall-mounted junction points in utility rooms, garages and service cabinets

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP55 (dust protected, protection against water jets)
• External dimensions: 196 × 196 × 78 mm
• Configuration: enclosure supplied without internal insert or mounting module
• Mounting: intended for wall mounting or installation on flat surfaces
• Material: durable non-conductive enclosure material suitable for electrical applications

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners and anchors for the substrate. Prepare cable entry points according to the chosen cable glands or conduit fittings, ensuring any additional seals maintain the overall IP55 protection. Fit terminal blocks, switches or small modules inside the box, securing them to a compatible mounting plate or using panel screws where applicable. Follow applicable electrical codes when making connections, and verify that internal components do not compromise clearances or the integrity of the enclosure seal before closing the cover.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use compatible cable glands and gaskets rated for IP55 to maintain protection. Avoid direct exposure to high-pressure water jets and chemical solvents; perform periodic inspections of seals and fasteners to ensure long-term environmental resistance.
