Surface-mounted distribution box ETI MODULE BOX SURFACE 48 MOD.IP40 48-module, IP40, white door

Surface-mounted distribution box ETI MODULE BOX SURFACE 48 MOD.IP40 is designed to house up to 48 DIN-rail modules arranged in four rows of 12. The enclosure features a white front door and an IP40 protection rating, providing basic protection for circuit breakers, residual-current devices and terminal blocks. Intended for surface wall mounting, the box is suitable for residential and light commercial electrical distribution installations where a compact, organized panel is required.

Advantages

The enclosure offers an organized layout for up to 48 modular devices, simplifying wiring and circuit separation. The white front door gives a clean visual appearance while allowing easy access for maintenance. IP40 protection protects against solid objects larger than 1 mm and reduces the risk of accidental contact with live parts. Surface-mount design allows installation on finished walls without recessed mounting, and the box is manufactured to fit standard DIN-rail modular devices.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution panels for apartments and houses
• Small commercial or light-industrial distribution boards
• Installations that require surface-mounted enclosures on finished walls
• Arrangements combining circuit breakers, residual-current devices and terminal blocks

When it may not be suitable

This product provides basic ingress protection (IP40) and is not intended for environments where protection against water, dust ingress or corrosive atmospheres is required. It is not suitable for outdoor installation without additional weatherproofing or for industrial sites that require higher impact resistance or higher IP ratings.

Key specifications

• Capacity: up to 48 DIN-rail modular devices (4 rows x 12)
• Protection rating: IP40
• Mounting type: surface-mounted (wall)
• Front door color: white
• Application: indoor electrical distribution for circuit breakers, RCDs and terminal blocks

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable finished wall using appropriate anchors and fasteners for the wall material. Install standard DIN-rail inside the enclosure if not pre-fitted, then clip modular devices such as miniature circuit breakers and RCDs onto the rails in the intended layout. Route incoming and outgoing cables through the designated knockouts or cable entries, secure conductors to terminal blocks, and ensure correct phase and protective conductor connections. After wiring, close the front door and verify clearances and labeling for safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required number of DIN modules (48 capacity) and layout (4 rows of 12) matches your design.
• Check that IP40 protection is sufficient for your installation environment (indoor, dry locations).
• Ensure wall type and available space allow surface mounting and that appropriate fixing hardware is used.
• Verify compatibility of your chosen modular devices with standard DIN-rail mounting.

Usage recommendations

Use this surface-mounted distribution box for indoor installations where basic protection and organized modular device layout are needed. Avoid exposure to moisture and heavy dust. Install by a qualified electrician and follow local electrical codes for grounding, circuit labeling and protective device selection.
