LiteCycle 4 Position, 8 Terminal, Gray Enclosure



January 10 2023

The LiteCycle SG-TB-4PT-GC electrical enclosure is an 8 terminal enclosure which is able to support up to 4 circuits. The housing is made from gray ABS plastic, with a clear polycarbonate cover and steel screws. There are molded knockouts that can accommodate 1/2 NPT thread, while the screw terminals can support 14-20 AWG wire. Each of the four positions have two screws, so each side can be separately wired. Like the other plastic LiteCycle enclosures, the SG-TB-4PT-GC meets the standards set by UL508A:2005. It carries an ingress protection rating of IP 65 and is also CE approved.

Because it is made from ABS plastic, this terminal enclosure can resist impacts and abrasions, as well as provide good insulation. The polycarbonate cover can also withstand impacts as well as extremes in temperature. The IP 65 protection rating applies as along as an IP 65 rated cable gland is used with it. IP 65 indicates a total protection from dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction. UL 508A is the standard set for industrial control panels, which mainly applies to the construction, type of components, and wiring of the panel. CE approval refers to the European conformity standard, showing that the electrical enclosure meets safety and environmental standards set by the EU.

These types of electrical enclosures, usually referred to as terminal boxes, differ from junction boxes due to their integrated terminal block. They are made to keep the electrical terminals protected from outside conditions and tampering. They also prevent accidents by keeping others protected from the inside electrical connections, which is crucial in case an overloaded connection creates sparks. The integrity of the circuits that the enclosure may be connected to is also kept safe. Because the terminal strip on LiteCycle enclosures is integrated inside, this saves the time and cost of needing to install one, increasing efficiency. The SG-TB-4PT-GC terminal enclosure is perfect for large industrial equipment, plant facilities, commercial wiring, low voltage control systems, robotics, the solar industry, and other applications that require routine inspections. This is due to the clear cover, which allows the user to see the connections inside without having to take the cover off.
