Distribution enclosure ELEKTROPLAST MINI S-6 1x6 surface-mounted IP20 with smoked cover N+PE (2306-11)

ELEKTROPLAST MINI S-6 is a surface-mounted distribution enclosure designed for one row of up to six modular devices. The unit provides an IP20 degree of protection and comes with a smoked transparent cover that allows visual inspection of installed devices without opening the enclosure. It includes provisions for N and PE busbars and is intended to house miniature circuit breakers, residual-current devices and other DIN-rail mounted protection and switching modules in small residential or light commercial installations.

Advantages

The MINI S-6 offers a compact footprint suitable for locations with limited wall space, while its smoked cover protects internal components from dust and accidental contact yet permits visual checks. Surface mounting simplifies installation on plasterboard, masonry or timber surfaces without the need for a recessed box. Built for standard DIN-rail modular components and featuring dedicated N and PE busbar channels, the enclosure supports tidy wiring and straightforward component replacement.

Suitable for

• Small residential distribution boards for up to six modules
• Secondary or supplementary circuits (lighting, sockets, small appliances)
• Light commercial or service rooms where a compact, surface-mounted panel is required
• Retrofit installations where recessing is not possible or practical

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is rated IP20 and therefore provides only protection against solid objects greater than 12 mm and no protection against water ingress; it is not suitable for outdoor use or wet environments. For installations requiring more than six modules or higher ingress protection (IP44, IP65, etc.), a larger or weatherproof enclosure should be selected.

Key specifications

• Mounting type: surface-mounted
• Module capacity: 1 row × up to 6 modules
• Protection degree: IP20
• Cover: smoked (transparent) hinged cover
• Busbar configuration: neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) provision
• Intended mounting for: DIN-rail modular protection and switching devices
• Typical use: indoor electrical distribution for residential and light commercial spaces

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat vertical surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate. Install the DIN-rail compatible modular devices within the single row, ensuring each device is correctly clipped and aligned. Connect phase conductors, neutral and earth to the installed devices and to the provided N and PE busbars following local electrical codes. Close the smoked cover to protect the assembly, and label circuits as required. All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician and power must be isolated before installation or maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required number of modules — up to six in a single row
• Environmental conditions — indoor dry locations only (IP20)
• Compatibility with intended DIN-rail modular devices and busbar layout
• Available wall space for surface mounting and clearance for the hinged cover

Usage recommendations

For safety and compliance, verify local wiring regulations and select circuit protection devices sized to the installation's load. Use the smoked cover for visual inspection but open only when power is isolated. For damp, outdoor or larger installations, choose an enclosure with a higher IP rating or greater module capacity.
