Product details
A junction box is an electrical enclosure that houses one or more wiring connections. The box protects the connections, which usually contain vulnerable points such as wire splices, from environmental conditions and accidental contact. A small metal, plastic or fiberglass junction box may form part of an electrical conduit or thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) wiring system in a building. If designed for surface mounting, it is used mostly in ceilings, concrete or concealed behind an access panel—particularly in domestic or commercial buildings. Junction boxes play an essential role in electrical systems by protecting wiring from damage and ensuring the safety of circuits. They prevent electrical shocks, short circuits, and fire risks, while also keeping wiring systems neat and accessible. Electrical junction boxes are essential for connecting circuits and wiring to tools. They can also protect in the event of a fire or localized overvoltage because they have bypasses that can cut power while still supplying power to the rest of your property. Junction boxes come in various types, including: Metal or Plastic boxes. Wall-Mounted Boxes. Ceiling-Mounted Boxes.
