Outdoor Electrical Box, Waterproof Electrical Junction Box IP65 ABS Plastic Enclosure with Fan & Thermostat, Mounting Plate and Hinged Lid (15.7" H x 11" L x 5.9" W)

I had the same problem as K. Landin who reported it on February 9; the hinge bar for the lid latches turns out to be very thin and one of the latches broke with surprisingly little force; I accidently bumped against it and was startled that it broke that readily. I've invested hours in modifying this box for a project and was frustrating for the box to break so easily. HOWEVER, the manufacturer wisely made this part an insert so it could be fixed easily as this photo shows both pieces after it was removed. If the customer service is as good as K. Landin says and they can ship me two new latches (if they break THIS easily I want a spare), I, too, would be happy to boost this back up to 5 stars.UPDATE: this vendor has indeed been very responsive and provided excellent customer support: I was mailed new hinges including spares and the hinges are very easy to change out. I was inclined to rate 4 stars, not 5, due to the clip hinge rods being thin and fragile, but I have plenty of replacements now and I promised them 5 for the effort so here it is. IF YOUR HINGES BREAK OFF - and they may - contact the vendor and they'll send new ones.

I've used a couple of these boxes over the last year. They work well and protect the sensitive network hubs from the elements. Would have like to be able to purchase more mounts designed to work with the plastic backboard.

For anybody who wants to protect electrical components from severe weather or accidental splashes of water, I believe that this enclosure is a highly practical option that may be used. I conducted some research on a number of other possibilities before making the purchase, but in the end, I decided to go with this particular one since it met the requirements for being waterproof, it came with a fan and a thermostat, and it was described as having a robust mounting plate. Please find below a comprehensive account of my experience with the product and how it performed for me. At first sight, I was astonished by how substantial the materials felt when I got the enclosure. These materials were quite sturdy. In addition to having a comforting thickness, the ABS plastic featured a hinged lid that gave the impression of being well-constructed rather than fragile. A mounting plate that made it simple for me to connect my controllers and wire panels was included in the package along with all of the necessary accessories, such as the fan and the thermostat that was built in. I believe that the fan that is provided is a wonderful feature since it assists in maintaining enough ventilation on days when the weather is higher, so guaranteeing that the temperature inside does not increase to an excessive degree. Additionally, the thermostat provides an additional degree of confidence by permitting the fan to function just when it is required, therefore preventing the fan from making a continuous noise or draining energy.

I had initially reviewed this box and given it one star due to one of the door latches breaking with first use. However, upon receiving the review, the seller reached out to me immediately, wanting to remedy the situation. The seller is sending a replacement part. I am very pleased with the seller’s excellent customer service.

The fans seem to work fine... but the box itself... feels a little flimsy and not as strong... time will tell since i am using outdoors and texas heat will put to the test!

I used this to place my messy sprinkler wires and clean them up a bit pretty cool box it could be used for all sorts of locations and projects as you wish! Delivery was fast and efficient! I was skeptical about its functionality but found it easy to open and close. I will be ordering different sizes of this product because of its awesome build quality and value !

Basically fine, but given a few surface cracks after a few months of service, I'm concerned about whether this is really UV resistant plastic.

I purchased this enclosure to store my helium miner outside. So far its been working great. I love the fans inside the enclosure so it keeps my raspberry pi cool while it keeps the device dry. We just had a week worth of rain and I went to check the enclosure, my miner is dry and the temps have been good. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another enclosure.
