Ideal Use

• Outdoor electrical installations requiring high UV resistance and IP65 sealing.
• Industrial control panel housing in harsh or corrosive environments.
• Junction boxes in demanding applications (factories, processing plants, mines).
• Housing for instrumentation and monitoring equipment in extreme temperature locations.
• Telecommunication and utility applications needing long-term durability.
• Solar power component housing.
• Any application demanding a robust, non-metallic, IP65-rated enclosure with excellent environmental resistance.

Tips

• When ordering, ensure you specify the Screw Lid Part Number (e.g., 040-xxx) to receive the IP65 version.
• Always verify the internal dimensions (H1, W1, D1) against your components to ensure adequate space and clearance.
• For simplified surface mounting without drilling the enclosure, use the optional External Mounting Feet (UT-MF).
• To easily mount internal components like DIN rails or PCBs, purchase the corresponding Device Plate (DEV-UTx) listed for your enclosure size.
• Ensure lid screws are properly tightened to achieve and maintain the IP65 rating. Do not overtighten.
• The GRP material is easy to drill or machine for cable glands or component mounting if required, but consider using device plates to maintain maximum integrity.
