Technical Sharing: Selection Guide for Plastic Distribution Box Junction Boxes: How to Match Scene Requirements? ZCEBOX Provides Professional SolutionsIn the electrical wiring system, the plastic distribution box junction box is a core component to ensure the safety and regularity of the line. However, choosing the wrong model will not only lead to low installation efficiency but also may cause safety hazards such as short circuits and electric leakage. As a brand with years of experience in this field, ZCEBOX has summarized four key selection dimensions of "material, protection level, size, and certification" based on the experience of thousands of customer cases, helping users accurately match scene requirements.
Different scenarios have significantly different requirements for the weather resistance and corrosion resistance of materials:
Industrial scenarios (such as workshops, factories)：Prioritize the ZCEBOX reinforced PP material junction box, which has an impact strength of 15kJ/m², can resist mechanical collisions, and is oil-resistant and chemical corrosion-resistant, suitable for the wiring needs of equipment such as machine tools and production lines;
Outdoor scenarios (such as street lights, monitoring)：Recommend ZCEBOX modified ABS material products, which have undergone anti-UV aging treatment, are not easy to crack or discolor when exposed to sunlight for a long time, and have excellent low-temperature toughness, and can still maintain structural stability in -30℃ environment;
Civil scenarios (such as residences, office buildings)：The ZCEBOX environmentally friendly PP material junction box is sufficient, which meets the national E0-level environmental protection standard, no odor release, and is suitable for the wiring needs of household sockets and lighting lines.
The "first digit" in the protection level (IPXX) represents the dustproof level, and the "second digit" represents the waterproof level, which needs to be selected according to the scenario:
Dry indoor (such as offices, bedrooms): IP40 can meet the basic dustproof needs. ZCEBOX products of this level adopt a snap-on cover plate, which is easy to install;
Humid environment (such as kitchen, bathroom): At least IP54 is required. ZCEBOX IP54 products are equipped with silica gel sealing strips to prevent water vapor intrusion;
Outdoor or wading scenarios (such as open-air distribution boxes, underground garages): IP65 or above must be selected. ZCEBOX IP65 junction boxes adopt a labyrinth waterproof structure, which will not cause internal water ingress even if it rains for a short time.
ZCEBOX recommends calculating the box size based on "number of wires + terminal volume": For example, 3 2.5mm² wires + 1 terminal, the ZCEBOX 86×86×50mm specification is sufficient; if it involves 6 4mm² wires + 2 terminals, it is necessary to upgrade to 118×86×60mm specification. In addition, some ZCEBOX products support "stacked expansion", and the internal space can be increased through splicing accessories to flexibly meet the later line expansion needs.
Some low-cost junction boxes on the market are marked with "flame retardant" and "insulation", but they have not passed formal certification, posing safety hazards. All ZCEBOX products have passed dual certifications: domestically, they comply with GB 7251.3-2019 "Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear - Part 3", and internationally, they comply with the IEC 62271-303 standard, ensuring that product performance meets the standards.
Selection is essentially "demand matching" - ZCEBOX not only provides standardized products but also can provide customized solutions for special scenarios (such as new energy photovoltaic power stations, chemical workshops), combined with the scene evaluation service of the professional technical team, so that each junction box can "make the best use of its functions" and ensure electrical safety from the source.
