Tarel 017 Metal Junction Box 5 x 2.5mm with 3 x P11 Cable Glands IP55

The Tarel 017 metal junction box is a high-quality electrical enclosure engineered for secure and reliable cable management. Constructed from durable metal, this unit provides a robust housing for electrical connections, ensuring long-term stability in various installation environments. It comes equipped with a 5 x 2.5mm terminal block and three P11 cable glands, facilitating organized and protected wiring. With an IP55 ingress protection rating, the box is effectively shielded against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor electrical systems.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Tarel 017 is its rugged metal construction, which offers superior mechanical protection compared to standard plastic alternatives. The inclusion of pre-fitted P11 cable glands streamlines the installation process by ensuring a tight seal around cables, thereby maintaining the integrity of the IP55 rating. Its compact yet functional design allows for efficient space utilization in electrical cabinets or wall-mounted configurations, while the terminal block configuration supports standard wiring requirements for power distribution and control circuits.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations requiring mechanical protection
• Outdoor wiring setups exposed to dust and moisture
• Secure connection points for power distribution circuits
• Cable management in workshops and utility areas

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for complete submersion in water or installation in environments subject to high-pressure water cleaning. It is also not suitable for hazardous areas requiring explosion-proof certification.

Key specifications

• Material: Durable metal
• Terminal configuration: 5 x 2.5mm
• Cable entry: 3 x P11 cable glands
• Ingress protection rating: IP55

How to use

To install the Tarel 017, mount the enclosure securely to a flat surface using the provided mounting points. Feed the electrical cables through the P11 glands, ensuring the seals are tightened sufficiently to maintain the IP55 protection level. Connect the wires to the internal 5 x 2.5mm terminal block according to your circuit diagram. Once connections are verified, secure the lid firmly to ensure the gasket is properly seated and the enclosure is fully sealed against environmental elements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2.5mm terminal capacity meets your specific wire gauge requirements
• Ensure the P11 gland size is compatible with the outer diameter of your cables
• Confirm that the IP55 rating is sufficient for your specific environmental conditions

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the cable glands are tightened correctly to prevent moisture ingress. Regularly inspect the enclosure for signs of physical damage or corrosion if installed in harsh outdoor environments.
