It is equipped with 10 integrated cable glands, facilitating organized and secure cable entry. The robust construction ensures long-term durability, making it an essential component for professional electrical installations that require protection against environmental factors.

Advantages

This junction box stands out due to its superior ingress protection rating of IP67, which guarantees complete resistance to dust ingress and protection against the effects of temporary water immersion. The screw-fastened lid design provides a secure seal that prevents unauthorized access and protects internal components from moisture, dirt, and mechanical stress. Its versatile design allows for efficient cable management, reducing installation time and ensuring a tidy electrical setup in both industrial and residential applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations
• Outdoor lighting and power distribution systems
• Protection of electrical connections in damp or dusty environments
• Commercial building infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for use in environments subject to high-pressure water jets or permanent submersion at significant depths. It is also not suitable for applications requiring explosion-proof certification or specialized chemical resistance beyond standard industrial plastic specifications.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 162 x 116 x 76 mm
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Cable entry points: 10 cable glands
• Fastening method: Screw-fastened lid
• Material: Durable industrial-grade plastic

How to use

To install the PCE LIGHT EV-161, first mount the base securely to the desired surface using the designated mounting points. Feed your cables through the provided cable glands, ensuring that the glands are tightened sufficiently to maintain the IP67 seal. Connect your wires within the enclosure according to your electrical schematic, ensuring all connections are secure and properly insulated. Finally, place the lid onto the base and tighten the screws evenly to ensure a uniform compression of the gasket, which is essential for maintaining the enclosure's environmental integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the dimensions are sufficient for the number and size of wire connectors you intend to use.
• Ensure the cable diameter matches the specifications of the integrated cable glands.
• Confirm that the mounting surface is flat to prevent warping the enclosure when tightening the screws.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP67 rating, always ensure that the lid gasket is clean and free of debris before closing. Regularly inspect the cable glands to ensure they remain tight and that the cable jacket is not damaged, as this is critical for preventing moisture ingress over time.
