The Spelsberg GEOS has been design from the ground up to be tough, flexible and safe in even the harshest of environments. The range is produced from high-grade polycarbonate which is resistant to many corrosive chemicals, as well as providing protection from damaging UV rays and the effects of extreme temperature. The resultant IK09 high impact strength and IP67 ingress protection is said to make GEOS one of the toughest enclosures on the market. Chris Lloyd, managing director of Spelsberg UK, commented: “At first glance, the GEOS might look like many of the other enclosures for Spelsberg’s vast range. But when you look a little closer you can see that every detail has been redesigned to offer the very best performance in the harshest of environments. We’ve included a functional, tool-free installation system, multiple internal and external mounting options and even a quick release closure system for the lids.” One of the most beneficial features for those of us familiar with the British
weather is the ‘Drain Protect’ sealing principle that was developed for GEOS. Any moisture that comes into contact with the enclosure is discharged by the widely overlapping cover and a drainage channel that is designed into the bottom of the enclosure at the rear of the box. The GEOS then doubles down with a elastomer seal to provide optimum protection from the worst of the weather. Aside from the tough design, all of Spelsberg’s trademark usability can be found.
Installers can choose between three sizes of enclosure – each available in different depths. The lids can be screwed on or hinged and are available as a transparent option if desired. In total there are 44 standard variations in the range, and that’s before you start speaking to Spelsberg’s engineering experts about the internal mounting plates and complete in-house customisation, lid printing and assembly services. According to the company, it maintains the largest UK stock of non-metallic
electrical enclosures from its headquarters in Telford. The central location means it can offer next day deliver on the majority of standard orders.

TOUGH ENCLOSURE RANGE NOW IN TWO VERSIONS
OKW’s popular DATEC-TERMINAL plastic enclosures are now available with or without a separate terminal section. With a tough design, these are said to be ideal for data collection, security and access control, measurement and control, HVAC, medical/wellness and point-of-sale devices. A wide choice of lids and covers (accessories) adds IP 54 ingress protection and makes these ergonomic desktop and wall-mount enclosures highly versatile. The operating area is inclined by 20˚ for comfortable viewing and operation, and it is recessed to protect a membrane keypad. Of additional benefit, quick assembly (with hidden fixings) offers easy
access to components. The wall mountings are also concealed and feature removal protection. Inside the enclosures, there are fastening pillars for Eurocard PCBs.

Hylec-APL has introduced Debox V, a new extra-value variant, to its Debox cable junction box series. The new Debox V offers the same time-saving features and ease-of-installation as other Debox junction boxes but is supplied without connectors. It also provides a secure way to house ready-terminated connectors within a quick-to-install enclosure, using the electrician’s preferred lever connectors. Debox advantages include: • Screwless connections – no fiddly screws to lose in poorly lit installation situations • 100% tool-free assembly, including unique built-in tool-less cable restraints • Snap-close lid with locking clip (and spare) • Fold-out fixing lugs • Maintenance-free operation • Passes pull test EN 60670-22 and cable retention test EN 60670-1-7.41 • Conforms to the EN 60598-1 (13.2.2) glow wire test • Flame retardant housing to UL 94 V-0. Debox V measures 107 x 47 x 35mm and is manufactured
from white polypropylene, with a maximum current rating of 32A and a temperature rating from -20˚C to +85˚C. The design is suitable for joining either flat or round profile cable, with a minimum conductor size of 0.25mm and a maximum of 4mm. Debox V joins the other popular Debox in-line junction box
products: the original all-in-one Debox S; Debox SL; Debox SL2, the smallest junction box available with 5x 3-pole connectors; Debox SM40, the first 4-pole in-line junction box that fits through a 40mm aperture; and Debox 11.
