How to Choose A Suitable Waterproof Junction Box

Waterproof junction boxes, also called electrical sealing boxes, can be broadly divided into two categories: special and general. Its raw materials mainly include the following five types. ABS engineering plastics, polycarbonate (PC), PC/ABS, glass fiber reinforced polyester and stainless steel. What is the difference between various materials of waterproof junction boxes and what kind of performance do they have?

ABS engineering plastics: not easily damaged by impact, resistant to low and high temperatures, not easily corroded by chemicals, simple processing, can be colored, sprayed metal, electroplating, welding, etc., so it has become the material of choice for electrical components, household appliances, computers, instruments and meters.


Polycarbonate (PC) material. It has become the fastest growing general engineering plastic because of its high adaptability to temperature, UV resistance, and high mechanical properties,that is, good impact resistance, so it has become the fastest-growing general engineering plastic.

PC/ABS material. Combining ABS and PC together, using the easy processing characteristics of ABS material and good strength of PC, strong impact resistance, able to withstand low temperature and extreme heat, and UV resistance, so it can be used in a wide range of automotive interior parts, commercial machines, communication equipment, household appliances and lighting equipment.


Glass fiber reinforced polyester material: It is also known as glass fiber reinforced thermoset plastic or glass fiber reinforced plastic. It is a composite material composed of resin (a thermosetting plastic with bonding effect) and glass fiber. It has good shock resistance and adhesion, relatively high impact strength and heat resistance, strong mold resistance, and low volume shrinkage during processing and molding.

Through the above details, we know what kind of decoration environment this different material of waterproof junction box is suitable for. This should help us to choose the model of waterproof junction box. For example, we just ordinary home decoration. Choose the model of PC/ABS waterproof junction box, its performance is sufficient to meet our requirements, and the price is not high. Of course, if it is used in a harsh environment such as high temperature, or in an environment with some chemical substances, the choice of waterproof junction box models must be careful. Finally, we have to choose the right waterproof junction box according to their environmental requirements.
