conceivable application. Eldon engineer, Fredrik
Anderö, commented: “We are always thorough with the quality of the products we use and the reason we work with Industrilas is because of their flexible and agile approach. The products offered are high quality and easy to work with.” Industrilas UK’s Barry

Eldon Installation (part of the Eldon Group) has specialised in the design and manufacture of industrial enclosures for almost 100 years. New to the company’s portfolio is a range of charging stations for electric vehicles. These use a sheet-metal enclosure that is oxylane-treated with a C5-class varnish as a corrosion inhibitor, and the cabinets have been designed for impact resistance to IK10 with ingress protection to IP54. Users expect the units to work
faultlessly at convenient locations in an environment where outside air temperatures can vary from -20˚C up to +40˚C. As a result, the charging stations have been designed to be user-friendly with exceptional durability. Reliable locking combined
with ease of access to the inside of the cabinets were essential. As a result, standard cylinder locks from Swedish manufacturer Industrilas have been exclusively specified on the project, selected from a range of options available from the company that now includes a different type of quarter turn latch design for almost every

market and also have extensive experience of designing bespoke access solutions in partnership with customers. Our range of different products is amongst the most extensive available from a European manufacturer, covering hinges, handles, locks and latches manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We’re REACH and RoHS compliant and also meet the demanding standards of the rail industry too, with solutions that meet rail industry standard DIN EN 61373.”

NEW IP66/IP67-RATED SURFACE-MOUNTED
ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
New from Hylec-APL is Debox 11, a versatile and robust IP66/IP67-rated surface-mounted junction box with a total of ten cable entries and five 3–way lever connectors. Manufactured from black, RAL9003 flame-retardant, impact- resistant polypropylene, the enclosure is rated for use in temperatures ranging from -30˚C to +100˚C. Dimensions are 85mm wide x 85mm deep x 53mm high. The new enclosures have been specifically designed for
interior or exterior use on projects such as exterior lighting, outbuildings and anywhere exposed to water or dust ingress such as industrial environments. Like the rest of the
Debox junction box family, Debox 11 saves electrical professionals installation time with its thoughtful, ergonomic design, the company states. Debox 11 features ten cable entry points – two on each side and a further two in the base of the box. All have soft membrane covers, giving a quick puncture-entry self-sealing system rated to IP66. The eight side-entry points also have a M20 size threaded entry for cable glands, with no requirement for an internal locknut, giving a higher protection rating of IP67. Wires are easily and quickly connected into the five x
3-lever screwless connectors; and minimum cable diameter is 3mm, maximum 12mm. Voltage maximum is 400V, 32A. Internally the five connectors are held securely by moulded mountings. In addition, should the application require a PCB, Debox 11 has four PCB fixing posts in the base to take a PCB mounting plate. After inserting the wires, the Debox 11 lid is securely fastened with two included captive lid screws. For secure external fixing, Debox 11 offers two
alternative convenient mounting methods: for internal fixing, there are four screw fixing points in the corners (which do not pierce the housing and therefore do not compromise the IP rating); or for external fixing, there are two fixing lugs located on the sides, which preclude the need for external mounting fixtures.
