What is a waterproof junction box
/
/
Waterproof box are also called waterproof junction box. English name: Waterproof Case
The main function of the waterproof junction box is to ensure that the instruments, meters, electronics and circuits inside the box will not be affected by water ingress. The shell of the waterproof junction box has the effect of waterproof, dustproof and heat dissipation.

How many levels are there for waterproof boxes?
The waterproof box is divided into 5 levels. Between IP63 and IP68. Specifically divided as:
- IP63: No effect from water or rainwater from 60 degree corners to the housing;
- IP64: Liquid splashed into the housing from any direction without damage affected;
- IP65: rinse with water without any harm;
- IP66: Can be used in the cabin environment;
- IP67: can withstand immersion in a short period of time (1m);
- IP68: Immersion in water for a long time at a certain pressure, e.g. deep water cable wiring.

Areas of application for waterproof boxes
The waterproof box has different rings used, and the level of waterproofing will be different. The main ones used in the industry are waterproof junction boxes, waterproof instrument boxes, waterproof photovoltaic junction boxes, and waterproof battery boxes.
Waterproof box is mainly suitable for indoor and outdoor electrical, communications, fire fighting facilities, steel smelting, petrochemical, electronics, electric power, railways, construction sites, mines, mining sites, airports, hotels, ships, large factories, coastal factories, unloading terminal equipment, waste sewage treatment facilities. Environmental hazard facilities, etc.

What material is the waterproof junction box made of
- The main materials of the waterproof box are: plastic (ABS/PC), glass fiber, iron, stainless steel and aluminum and other materials.
Plastic waterproof box - ABS material:
ABS waterproof box with PC waterproof box
ABS waterproof box with PC waterproof box
The material of the plastic waterproof box is mainly ABS resin (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer, ABS is the acronym of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer material with high strength, good toughness and easy processing and molding. Because of its high strength and corrosion resistance, it is often used in the manufacture of plastic waterproof boxes.
The color of the waterproof box made of this material is generally industrial gray, opaque, and the dye can be added according to the needs of customers. Because of the different occasions of use, there are also anti-radiation, anti-flame and other waterproof boxes.
Some boxes require plastic materials. This is because there are some wireless signals inside that need to be transmitted or received. If the metal material of the waterproof box will reduce the wireless signal.
The advantage of plastic waterproof box is low price.
Plastic waterproof box - transparent material: The material of transparent plastic waterproof box is mainly PC, polycarbonate (Polycarbonate) abbreviation PC is a colorless transparent aquatic thermoplastic material. Its name comes from the CO3 group inside it. The main difference between the waterproof box made of this material and the ABS material waterproof box is that it is transparent, as shown in the above figure.

- Metal waterproof box
The material of the metal waterproof box is commonly made of iron, stainless steel or aluminum. Compared with plastic waterproof boxes, metal waterproof boxes have stronger explosion-proof performance, impact resistance and environmental adaptability.
Different metal waterproof boxes also have different advantages. For example: the aluminum waterproof box not only has good explosion-proof performance, but also is light in weight. Its surface can also play an insulating role after anodizing. Another big advantage of the aluminum waterproof box is that it can dissipate heat. Because aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity. Therefore, the battery boxes on some electric bicycles and new energy vehicles are all made of aluminum.
