Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does IP20 rating mean?

An IP20 rating signifies that the enclosure is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm (like fingers) but offers no protection against water ingress. This makes it suitable for dry indoor environments only.

Can this junction box be used outdoors?

No, the DEKSB-002 has an IP20 rating and is not designed for outdoor use as it lacks protection against moisture and dust penetration.

What is the maximum current rating for the terminal block?

The included terminal block is VDE-approved for a 16A current rating.

Is the terminal block replaceable?

The terminal block is pre-installed. While not designed for easy user replacement, it is rated for 16A, which should accommodate most common in-line connection needs within its scope.

How do I make holes for the cables?

The box features pre-cut cable lead-ins that can be opened up further using a suitable tool like a knife or wire stripper to accommodate different cable sizes.

What material is the box made from?

The enclosure is made from white polypropylene that is UL94 VO-rated for fire retardancy.

What are the dimensions of the junction box?

The dimensions are 105mm (length) x 55mm (width) x 29mm (height).

Troubleshooting

Box lid will not close securely

Ensure no wires are pinched between the lid and the base. Check that the terminal block is fully seated and not obstructing the lid.

Cables are not held firmly by ratchet clips

Verify that the cable diameter is appropriate for the clip size. Ensure the ratchet mechanism is properly engaged.

Terminal connections feel loose

Re-open the box and ensure each wire is fully inserted into the terminal block and the screws are tightened securely (if applicable to terminal type).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the desired cable entry points and remove the pre-cut lead-ins using appropriate tools (e.g., a knife or wire stripper). Ensure a snug fit for the cables.
  2. Thread the electrical cables through the selected lead-ins into the junction box.
  3. Connect the wires to the pre-installed 4-pole, 16A terminal block. Ensure secure termination for each conductor.
  4. Engage the ratchet clips to firmly grip the cables, providing strain relief.
  5. Close the junction box lid, ensuring it snaps shut securely.
  6. Mount the box using the external, hand-removable lugs to a suitable surface.

Compatibility:

This junction box is designed for use with standard electrical cables suitable for a 16A rating. It is compatible with solid and stranded conductors that can be terminated in a 4-pole terminal block.

Care:

Due to its IP20 rating, this product is intended for indoor, dry environments only. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the plastic housing. Ensure connections remain clean and free from dust or debris for optimal performance.
