• Enclosure for terminal blocks in industrial control panels

Good to know

The box is supplied as a single unit. It is compatible with standard cable glands or grommets for additional sealing. The screw-on lid ensures a tight fit, and the smooth surface allows for easy cleaning. For installation, use appropriate fixings for the substrate (not included). Always follow local electrical codes and ensure the box is de-energised before working.
