정션박스란 무엇인가요?
Whether in electrical applications or industrial use, a junction box is an important component used to house and protect electrical wiring connections. It is a secure enclosure for maintaining wire connections and will be a junction point for wires to either be joined, routed, or terminated somewhere else. Metal junction boxes will typically be a necessity if RFI shielding is required with your electrical connectors or if a metal-sheathed cable will be attached. Plastic junction boxes will typically be the standard for applications with non-metallic cable or cable clamps.
Junction Box Specifications
1. Material
그리고 material of the junction box determines the strength and durability, the corrosion resistance, and the suitability for the environment, as noted below.
Stainless Steel (304 or 316) Very corrosion resistant, can work in harsh or marine environments. Commonly used in food processing applications, oil and gas, and also in chemical environments.
Polycarbonate: Very light, impact resistant, UV stable. Able to be used outdoors where you may want the user to be able to look inside, or for visibility.
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) - Very good chemical and environmental resistance. Can be used in an industrial or coastal environment.
ABS or PVC Plastic: Commonly used for light weight indoor applications. Good insulation, inexpensive.
2. NEMA Rating
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) rating identifies the type of protection you can expect from an enclosure.
NEMA 1–3R: Basic indoor/outdoor enclosure
NEMA 4 / 4X: Protection against splashing and hose-directed water; 4X includes corrosion resistance
NEMA 6 / 6P: Protection against temporary or prolonged immersion
A higher rating means you will have expected reliability in more extreme conditions.
3. IP Equivalent
그리고 인그레스 보호 (IP) rating is an international standard and has a high correlation to the NEMA ratings. It is numeric and made up of two digits.
The first digit defines the protection from solids (e.g., dust).
The second digit defines the protection from liquids (e.g., water).
Common IP Ratings:
IP65: Dust-tight, water jets.
IP66: Powerful water jets.
IP67: Temporary immersion in water.
IP68: Continuous immersion in water.
4. Clear Cover
Some junction boxes are made with either a clear or see-through cover allowing for quick inspection of indicators, fuses, or terminals without the need to open the junction box. This can be advantageous when inspecting:

In hazardous areas where disruption must be held to a minimum.
Using clear covers also improve operational performance and cut down maintenance time.
5. Mounting Type
Mounting type influences how the box can be installed and where it will be installed:
Wall Mount: Typical for surface applications.
Pole Mount: General usage is for utilities or field installations.
DIN Rail Mount: Primarily for modular and organized internal layouts.
Flush/Panel Mount: Aesthetics and compact space deployment by integrating into walls or cabinets.
Mounting does have an impact on the deployment's integrity with regard to stability, accessibility, and the adherence to installation codes.
