Tarel 013 Metal Junction Box 5x4mm² IP55

The Tarel 013 metal junction box is a high-quality enclosure engineered for the secure termination and protection of electrical connections. Designed with a 5x4mm² configuration, this unit provides a reliable housing for cable management in demanding environments. Its robust metal construction ensures long-term durability and structural integrity, making it an essential component for professional electrical installations that require a high level of mechanical protection.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Tarel 013 is its exceptional build quality, which offers superior resistance to physical impact compared to standard plastic alternatives. The IP55 ingress protection rating provides a reliable barrier against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, ensuring that internal connections remain safe from environmental contaminants. Its compact yet functional design allows for efficient cable routing, helping to maintain organized and safe electrical systems in both industrial and commercial settings.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Commercial building wiring projects
• Outdoor installations requiring protection against water splashes
• Workshops and garages where mechanical durability is essential

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for complete submersion in water or for use in environments with high levels of corrosive chemicals that could degrade the metal surface. It is also not suitable for applications requiring hazardous area explosion-proof certification.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 5x4mm²
• Ingress protection rating: IP55
• Material: Durable metal
• Application: Cable connection and protection

How to use

To install the Tarel 013, ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning any work. Mount the box securely to a flat, stable surface using the provided mounting points. Feed the cables through the appropriate entry points, ensuring that cable glands are used to maintain the IP55 seal. Connect the wires according to the 5x4mm² terminal configuration, ensuring all screws are tightened to the correct torque to prevent loose connections. Once wiring is complete, secure the cover firmly to ensure the gasket creates a proper seal against dust and moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 5x4mm² capacity meets your specific circuit requirements.
• Ensure the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of a metal enclosure.
• Check that the cable entry points are compatible with your existing conduit or cable gland sizes.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the junction box for signs of external damage or corrosion, especially in environments exposed to moisture. Ensure that all cable entries are properly sealed with appropriate glands to maintain the IP55 rating throughout the service life of the installation.
