Tarel Metal Junction Box 5 x 4mm² with 2 x P13.5 Cable Glands IP55

The Tarel metal junction box is a professional-grade enclosure engineered for the secure termination and protection of electrical connections. Constructed from durable metal, this unit provides a robust housing for wiring, ensuring long-term reliability in various electrical setups. It is equipped with a 5 x 4mm² terminal block, allowing for organized and safe cable management, and includes two P13.5 cable glands to maintain a secure and sealed entry point for cables.

Advantages

This junction box offers exceptional mechanical strength due to its metal construction, providing superior protection against physical impact compared to standard plastic alternatives. The IP55 ingress protection rating ensures that the internal connections are shielded from dust ingress and water sprays, making it a dependable choice for environments where environmental exposure is a concern. The inclusion of high-quality cable glands simplifies the installation process while ensuring that the cable entry points remain sealed against external elements.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations
• Commercial building wiring
• Outdoor areas protected from direct heavy rain
• Workshops and garages
• Electrical distribution systems requiring mechanical protection

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for full submersion in water or installation in areas subject to high-pressure water jets. It is also not recommended for use in highly corrosive environments without additional protective coatings, as the metal housing may be susceptible to oxidation over time if exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme salinity.

Key specifications

• Terminal capacity: 5 x 4mm²
• Cable entry: 2 x P13.5 glands
• Ingress protection rating: IP55
• Material: Metal

How to use

To install the junction box, mount the enclosure securely to a flat surface using the provided mounting points. Insert the cables through the P13.5 cable glands, ensuring the glands are tightened sufficiently to create a seal around the cable sheath. Connect the wires to the internal 5 x 4mm² terminal block according to your electrical schematic. Once all connections are verified, close the lid securely to ensure the IP55 seal is maintained.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4mm² terminal capacity meets your wire gauge requirements.
• Ensure the P13.5 gland size is compatible with the diameter of your cables.
• Confirm the IP55 rating is sufficient for your specific environmental conditions.
• Check the available mounting space to ensure the dimensions fit your installation area.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that cable glands are properly tightened to prevent moisture ingress. Regularly inspect the enclosure for signs of physical damage or corrosion, especially in industrial settings, to maintain the integrity of the electrical connections.
