Surface-mounted Junction Box ELEKTROPLAST 5 x 2.5 mm² IP41 (0236-00)

Surface-mounted Junction Box ELEKTROPLAST 5 x 2.5 mm² IP41 (0236-00) is a compact enclosure designed to accommodate and protect electrical splices and terminal connections for up to five conductors of 2.5 mm² cross-section. Intended for surface or wall mounting, the junction box provides a dust-protective and splash-resistant environment for wiring in residential and light commercial installations, enabling neat distribution and secure mechanical fixation of cables.

Advantages

The junction box offers a simple and robust solution for grouping and protecting cable connections. Its design allows secure clamping of conductors up to 2.5 mm², and the IP41 rating ensures basic protection against solid particles and vertically falling water drops. The product is lightweight and easy to mount on a variety of surfaces, reducing installation time. The enclosure's shape and entry points make routing multiple cables straightforward and help maintain an organized wiring layout.

Suitable for

• Residential wiring junctions and repairs
• Light commercial electrical distribution where IP41 protection is sufficient
• Surface-mounted installations on walls, ceilings, or other flat substrates
• Connecting and branching lighting, switch, and socket circuits using 2.5 mm² conductors
• Temporary or permanent splice protection in dry indoor environments

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for outdoor use or locations requiring higher ingress protection than IP41. It does not provide protection against water jets, full immersion, or heavy dust environments, so it should not be used in damp rooms without additional protective measures. For installations that demand built-in circuit protection, specialized enclosures, or accommodation of larger conductors, a different product should be selected.

Key specifications

• Number of conductor entries: 5
• Maximum conductor cross-section supported: 2.5 mm²
• Ingress protection: IP41
• Mounting type: Surface/wall-mounted
• Intended environment: Indoor, dry or protected spaces
• Typical applications: Cable splices, terminal housing, cable branching

How to use

Mount the junction box on a flat surface using suitable screws and wall plugs for the substrate. Route the cables through the provided entry points and prepare conductor ends according to local electrical standards. Make splices or terminal connections using appropriate connectors or insulated terminals, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical contacts. Close the cover and fasten it to the base to restore IP41 protection. Always switch off power before working on circuits and verify connections with suitable testing tools after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm conductor sizes to ensure 2.5 mm² compatibility
• Verify that IP41 protection meets the environmental conditions of the installation site
• Ensure available mounting space and surface type for secure fixation
• Check local electrical regulations to determine suitability for the intended application

Usage recommendations

Use insulated connectors or rated terminal blocks for splices, avoid overfilling the enclosure beyond recommended cable capacity, and keep the box in dry, indoor locations to maintain the IP41 protection level. If the installation environment is exposed to moisture or dust beyond the IP41 rating, choose a higher-rated enclosure.
