How to Buy the Waterproof Terminal Block?
The correct choice of waterproof terminal block, the level of IP protection is a very important factor.
According to IEC-60529, the IP (Ingress Protection) level is a figure of resistance to the intrusion of solid particles.
Most water proof terminal blocks have an IP level of IP65 (and to a lesser extent IP66), which means that it can be used to suit the higher requirements of the environment.
The IP level is defined by the housing only, but the equipment should also meet the corresponding requirements once installed, i.e.
If the Water proof Electrical Wire Cable Terminal Block is to be fitted with cable glands, the protection level should be higher than the body (waterproof cable glands are available on the mainstream market up to IP68 standard).
Choosing the correct size of Terminal Block Enclosures is, of course, a matter of choosing the correct size of Terminal Block Enclosures based first and foremost on the existing components and equipment to be placed.
But we should also consider whether new components will be added in the future and, if so, whether there will be enough space for them.
Please also note that the reference waterproof junction box with terminal block supplier dimension is either dimensional or internal in size (other manufacturers may differ, but Ricon junction boxes or external or internal dimensions can be found from the corresponding web pages).
It can be fitted usually with less space than the internal dimension provided, it should also be noted.
Note that the standard configuration of the product includes those parts of most manufacturers whose part numbers do not reflect the inclusion of standard accessories.
It is understood that usually a waterproof marine terminal block contains the box cover, box body, seal and box cover screws.
Depending on the requirements, the manufacturer will value optional accessories such as fixing GuaJiao walls, floor mounting, cable connectors, etc.
In order not to cause trouble, it is then sorted to find out what are the standard parts and which optional accessories are necessary.
The working environment of the equipment is usually said to be long enough to buy only the right one, not the expensive one.
The price of water proof automotive terminal blocks also varies considerably depending on the material used.
You should first find out if the equipment will work indoors or outdoors for a long time. If it is the former, we recommend the relatively low-priced ABS water proof terminal block, which has excellent overall performance and can meet the construction needs of the interior in general;
If it is an outdoor environment, it is better to use polycarbonate waterproof terminal block, whose products have better performance than ABS material such as weather resistance, heat resistance, flame retardant, UV resistance and aging prevention, of course, a higher price.
What is a Water Proof Terminal Block?
The water proof terminal block is used for the introduction, fixing and protection of optical cables, fusion splicing and protection of optical fibres, storage of pigtails, etc.
It is used for the connection between external optical cables, optical terminal equipment and optical cables, and is widely used in optical fibre communication network projects. This series of products are wall-mounted, easy to use and maintain.
In addition to the chassis itself, its standard accessories include fiber optic heat shrinkable tube, insulation tape 1 roll, 3 expansion bolts, 3 screws, nylon ties (5 per tray), (fusion fiber tray according to customer demand free configuration).
Product material: ABS engineering plastic

What are the Features of Terminal Block Enclosures?
The waterproof terminal block weighs only about 4/1 of a steel box, is easy to handle and transport, is corrosion resistant and has good insulation properties.
The Terminal Block Enclosures have undergone rigorous quality testing and are waterproof and dustproof to IP66.
The waterproof marine terminal block is suitable for use in airports, metro stations, button boxes, small terminals, signal boxes, relays, sensors, meters, communication junction boxes and other equipment.
The water proof terminal block is made of high strength ABS, PC, fire resistant materials and UV added materials, with a beautiful and generous appearance, suitable for various places inside and outside the house with very good explosion-proof performance, flame retardant VO; some are also suitable for high heat and sparks operating environment.
The water proof terminal block has a high degree of robustness, is 30% thicker than imported BOXes, has a semi-permanent life, has a wall thickness of no less than 3mm at its thinnest point and has an impact strength of IK07.
The net weight is only about 1/4 of an iron BOX, making it easy to handle and operate, non-corrosive and well insulated.
The box and the cover are fixed with four plastic screws that are not easily dislodged;
Inlet and outlet holes: the waterproof terminal block can be cut at will according to the customer’s requirements (the location and size of the holes can be processed according to the customer’s requirements).
After the hole is cut, a matching waterproof clamping connector can be fitted to achieve the best waterproof effect.

How to Install Waterproof Terminal Block?
1.Information module, multi-user waterproof automotive terminal block, collection point wiring module installation location, installation method and height should meet the design requirements.
2.When installed in the movable floor or on the ground, it should be fixed in the junction box, the information panel should be in the form of upright and horizontal, the junction box cover can be opened, and should have the function of waterproof, dustproof and pressure resistance, the junction box cover should be flush with the ground.
3.Inside is a an optical cable fixing tool with a fusion splice plate, over the line clip and a solid grounding device. Cable fixing, fuse function, the function of fusion cable, which is used to connect optical and pigtail cable.Light weight, strong epoxy electrostatic spraying gorgeous appearance, and easy to use.
4.The fixing method of Terminal Block Enclosures base should be determined by the specific conditions of construction on site, and can be installed by means of expansion screws, nails, etc. The fixing method of the information module open bottom box is determined according to the construction site conditions.
5.The fixing screws need to be tightened and should not produce loose phenomena. The installation of the base, information module and the panel should be firm and stable, without loosening, and the panel should be kept on a level surface to be beautiful and neat.
6.The waterproof junction box with terminal block installed on the wall should be positioned about 300mm above the ground. When using movable floor in the room ground. Optical cable terminal box should be 300mm above the surface of the movable floor.
7.Various socket panels should be marked with colour, graphics, text to indicate the type of terminal equipment business connected.
