LeMotech Junction Box, Electrical Box IP65 Water Resistant Dustproof ABS Plastic Project Enclosure for Electronics White, External Size 3.9 x 3.9 x 2.8 inch

This is a well built box and not flimsy. It's also reasonably deep which I picked to run an 8-4 power cord to provide 240V@up to 7200W for home battery backup system for charging. It has worked very well.

I got this box to install a POE security camera for the house, I wanted the camera to be attached to the box in order to hide some of the excess cable that came with the box. Overall this box was exactly what I wanted for my project, it is pretty durable for being plastic and the box comes with everything needed to mount and run at least 2 cables out of it (I only needed 1). The craftsmanship of the box is really good, quite exceeding my expectations for the price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in need of a product like this. There is one thing I think could be improved with this box. As I've mentioned earlier I bought this to mount a POE security camera, while I loved that this box came with 1/2" cable glands but the outside cap of the glands is just a TAD too small for a standard RJ45 connector (even without any sleeves) to go through. It is an easy fix where I just used a step drill bit to make the cap a bit bigger but after getting the cable through even when screwed all the way in there is still a little bit of space between the cable and the gland seal. I don't know if it is because I made the cap bigger but luckily where I mounted the box isn't be exposed to weather. Maybe this box isn't designed to have a CAT5 cable run through the gland but with POE stuff being very popular these days I think the manufacturer should take that into consideration.

This is a well-built, water-resistant plastic case, with a rubber gasket on the top lid. There are some plastic standoffs inside, which are always hit or miss for any project, but at least give you some options although none really worked for me. There are also two different styles of external through-case adapters provided, including an interesting one that works like a camera aperture which is not water tight by itself, but can be closed down so you can apply some water-proofing to a much smaller opening. I am deducting one star only because the the screws that secure the lid are just self-tappers. If you know how to deal with them or won't be repeatedly opening and closing the box, this might not be a problem. But it is an oversight when they could have just used some heat set inserts. Another minor issue is the lack of good external mounting points. There are some very weak tabs but there are unusable for anything useful. Without impinging on the case, I think the best option is to just drive bolts through the lid and mount it to some backing material.

This is a replacement for one that I have had in use for several years. The caulking around a project hole wore out and caused a leak, so a replacement was needed. It houses a water sensor for my pond fountain that turns off the fountain when water level drops too low. My only complaint is the screws holding the box together rusted together so I had to drill them out which damaged the box. Otherwise, this is a good product and worth the money. I am going back together with stainless steel screws just in case!

Size of box reviewed: 5.9 x 5.9 x 2.8 (150mm x 150mm x 70mm). I found the material of the box allowed for easy modifications with needed holes to be drilled. The lid fits nicely on the box, with a built-in seal around the edge to keep it weatherproof. Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of workmanship and material of this project box. My project required several holes to be drilled in my box. The pre-scored 1" (25 mm) knock-outs are nice, but I needed a 1-1/8" (28 mm) hole where two of those knock-outs were located. So, I drilled a small pilot hole in the center of the knock-outs and then used a hole-saw attachment on my drill to bore the required 1-1/8" (28mm) hole (see pic with yellow hole saw). My project was to supply and distribute multiple voltages to be used by different devices. I mounted 2 ScanStrut weatherproof USB-A ports (ASIN B071WXWS9C) on the sides of the box. Inside the box, I also mounted a 6 VDC buck converter (ASIN B07SGJSLDL) and a 12 VDC buck/boost converter (ASIN B07N3QT628). From each of these converters, I will route the outputs through the cable glands mounted on the top of the box. The LeMotech box comes with 2 black cable glands, but I used 2 grey ones (ASIN B094ZDSD86) instead of the ones that came with the box. These required 2 custom 12 mm holes to be drilled in the top side of the box.. This has turned out to be one of the smoothest project box jobs I have done. Hints for good results: drill holes slowly into the material, and do NOT force the drill/saw into the material. When sawing, proceed slowly so as to CUT the material, rather than BURN it. Since this project, I have ordered another one of the boxes of this same size, as well as another in a smaller size, for use in other projects.

I am getting ready to build some Unins and Baluns for ham radio and these boxes are perfect for exactly what I want to do and how it lays out and being water resistant is just icing on the cake.

This box is a cost-effective alternative for light duty uses. The product comes with numerous precut holes for entry and exiting the box. However, the box is very light duty, the box is quite thin and very flexible. If using flex conduit, do not depend on the box being able to resists any forces imposed by a nearby bend in the conduit, it will deform the box and make it difficult to fit the cover in place. Additionally, be very careful not to overtighten the tiny screws which are provided to attach the cover to the box as they are easily stripped.

Works great

I'm very impressed with this ABS junction box. The hardware included was high quality. I've installed it where it won't be in the weather, so I won't be able to test the weatherproof-ness of the box. It's super sturdy yet easy to make cuts to it if necessary. I wouldn't hesitate to grab another one of these for another project if the need were to arise.

Gute Qualität 👍

Solid quality I used this to house my exterior home automation hardware. I mounted the electronics inside and sealed it up. I did have to make a cut out for a small fan to extract heat which was not difficult and the plastic cut well not cracking the surrounding area. Keeps all of the electronics dry.

Alles Top, Preis Leistung passt

Great item Wish it had the cable support going into box
