Surface-mounted junction box ELEKTROPLAST 98×98×46 mm, 2-module, 5×2.5 mm², IP55/IP65 (0290-01)

Surface-mounted junction box ELEKTROPLAST 98×98×46 mm, 2-module, 5×2.5 mm², IP55/IP65 (0290-01) is a compact enclosure designed for secure electrical connections and small device mounting. With external dimensions of 98×98×46 mm and accommodation for two modular units, it accepts up to five conductors of 2.5 mm² cross-section. The enclosure has enhanced sealing rated for IP55/IP65, offering protection against dust ingress and water jets or limited dust penetration when additional sealing is applied, making it suitable for indoor use and for installation in protected outdoor or damp locations.

Advantages

The junction box provides a practical, space-saving solution for splicing, branching and mounting small devices or modules. Its two-module format simplifies installation of modular components and accessories. The rated ingress protection ensures a higher level of environmental sealing compared with standard indoor enclosures, reducing the risk of moisture-related faults. The internal volume and conductor capacity allow tidy cable management for up to five conductors of 2.5 mm², and the surface-mounted design enables straightforward attachment to walls and other flat surfaces.

Suitable for

• Electrical splices and junctions in residential and commercial buildings
• Mounting of two-module devices such as switches, connectors or small control units
• Installations in garages, basements, utility rooms and sheltered outdoor areas
• Applications requiring improved dust and water resistance compared with standard indoor boxes

Key specifications

• External dimensions: 98 × 98 × 46 mm
• Module capacity: 2-module format
• Conductor capacity: up to 5 conductors, 2.5 mm² each
• Ingress protection: IP55/IP65 rated sealing against dust and water
• Mounting type: surface-mounted for wall or flat-surface installation

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a clean, flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Route conductors into the box through the provided knockouts or entry points, observing local wiring regulations and ensuring conductors are of the specified cross-section. Make connections or install modular devices inside the enclosure, keeping conductors organised and insulated. Close and secure the lid, ensuring the gasket or sealing surfaces are correctly positioned to maintain the IP55/IP65 protection. Verify mechanical fixing and perform electrical tests as required by applicable standards.

Usage recommendations

Use this junction box with conductors up to 2.5 mm² and limit the number of connections to maintain clear space inside the enclosure. For outdoor or exposed locations select appropriate cable glands or additional sealing accessories where required, and follow national electrical codes for grounding and protection. Regularly inspect the sealing and fastenings in harsh environments to preserve ingress protection.
