Modular distribution box 1x6 ELEKTROPLAST ECONOMIC BOX RN 1/6 N+PE IP40 (smoked door) 2501-01

Modular distribution box 1x6 ELEKTROPLAST ECONOMIC BOX RN 1/6 N+PE IP40 (smoked door) is designed to accommodate up to six standard DIN-rail modules in a single row for residential and small commercial electrical installations. The enclosure provides separate neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) terminals and a smoked transparent door that allows visual inspection of installed devices while offering basic ingress protection rated at IP40.

Advantages

The ECONOMIC BOX RN 1/6 combines a compact footprint with a clear smoked door for convenient circuit visibility without opening the enclosure. Separate N and PE terminals simplify wiring and reduce the chance of connection errors. The IP40-rated housing provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and basic protection suitable for indoor electrical distribution panels. The modular layout supports standard miniature circuit breakers, RCDs, and similar devices, enabling tidy, professional installations.

Suitable for

• Small residential distribution boards where up to six DIN modules are required
• Light commercial or service cabinets with limited space for protective devices
• Renovation projects requiring a compact modular enclosure with visual access
• Applications needing separate neutral and earth termination within the box

When it may not be suitable

This enclosure is not intended for outdoor installations or locations requiring higher ingress protection than IP40; it does not provide protection against water ingress. It is also unsuitable for installations that demand more than six DIN-module positions or complex multi-row arrangements.

Key specifications

• Module capacity: 1 row × 6 DIN modules
• Terminals: Separate neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) connectors
• Protection rating: IP40 (indoor use, protection against solid objects >1 mm)
• Door type: Smoked transparent hinged door for visual inspection
• Intended mounting: Wall-mounted modular distribution box
• Recommended device type: Standard miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices, and other 35 mm DIN-rail components

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a suitable indoor wall surface using appropriate fasteners and observe clearance and accessibility requirements. Fit the DIN-rail mounted devices into the six available module positions and secure them to the DIN rail. Connect the incoming supply conductors to the appropriate live terminal(s) and route neutral and earth conductors to the separate N and PE terminals provided inside the enclosure. Ensure all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque and comply with local wiring regulations. Close the smoked door to allow visual inspection while protecting the devices from direct contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Required number of DIN-module positions—this box supports up to six modules in one row
• Installation environment—suitable only for indoor use with IP40 protection
• Compatibility of chosen protective devices with 35 mm DIN-rail mounting
• Need for separate neutral and earth terminals within the enclosure

Usage recommendations

Follow local electrical codes and standards during installation. Verify clearances and accessibility for maintenance, and use appropriately rated circuit breakers and RCDs for the intended circuit protection. For outdoor, damp, or industrial environments, select an enclosure with a higher IP rating.
