Share How to Choose the Waterproof Junction Box Correctly

Functioning as a waterproof and dustproof enclosure, the waterproof junction box is mainly used to prevent water from entering the box and affecting the performance of its internal components (such as wires, meters, instruments, etc.), thereby protecting the items inside. So how to choose a safe waterproof junction box? The following introduces the points that should be paid attention to when selecting a waterproof junction box.

Use Environment
First of all, it should be determined whether the equipment will work indoors or outdoors for a long time.   If it is for indoor use, we recommend ABS waterproof junction boxes, which are relatively low in price. With their excellent overall performance, ABS waterproof junction boxes can fully meet general indoor needs.   If it is for outdoor use, we recommend cast aluminum junction boxes, which have better weather resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy, UV resistance, and aging resistance than ABS waterproof junction box materials.

Product Material
What are the specific parameters and performance indicators of cast aluminum junction boxes? If the waterproof junction box to be purchased is mainly used in relatively harsh environments, factors such as the material’s impact resistance, load strength, insulation, non-toxicity, and aging resistance should be considered during purchase.

IP Protection Level
When purchasing a waterproof junction box, the IP protection level is a very important factor. The first digit of the IP rating indicates the ability of the casing to resist the intrusion of solid particles, while the second digit represents the protection ability of the casing against water droplets. Generally, the waterproof level of industrial waterproof plugs and sockets is above IP44, with the highest being IP68. You can choose a suitable waterproof junction box and waterproof socket according to your own usage environment.

Product acessories

A waterproof junction box consists of a cover, a body, a sealing strip, and cover screws. Depending on different needs, manufacturers will also provide optional accessories such as wall fixing corners, installation bases, and cable connectors. To avoid subsequent troubles, it is very necessary to clarify which are standard components and which are optional accessories before placing an order.
