This is the IMO EN03C Double Pushbutton Enclosure – an IP65 Two-Hole Control Box for 22.5mm Units available at SparksDirect for the best price. Purchase this item with confidence at Sparks today.

The IMO EN03C is a durable, surface-mounted enclosure featuring two vertical 22.5mm apertures. It is specifically designed to house the IMO range of pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights. Constructed from high-impact, self-extinguishing plastic, it provides an IP65 rating, ensuring that internal electrical contacts are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.

This enclosure is most frequently used to build Start/Stop stations. By mounting a green "Start" button and a red "Stop" button in a single unit, it provides a centralized and professional interface for machine operators. The internal depth is optimized to accommodate standard contact blocks (such as the CT01C or CT02C) while leaving sufficient room for tidy wiring. When paired with appropriate cable glands, the EN03C maintains a high level of environmental protection in workshops, factories, or outdoor settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this enclosure come with the buttons included?

A: No. The EN03C is the empty enclosure only. You must purchase your desired 22.5mm components separately, such as a green "Start" button, a red "Stop" button, and the matching contact blocks.

Q: Can I mount this horizontally?

A: Yes. While it is traditionally mounted vertically (one button above the other), the EN03C can be mounted horizontally if your application or space constraints require it.

Q: Will it fit a standard Emergency Stop mushroom button?

A: Yes, but be aware of the spacing. While a mushroom button will fit in one of the holes, its large head may partially obscure the button in the second hole. For E-Stops, a single-hole enclosure like the EN02C is usually preferred for safety and visibility.

Who can install this?

While the physical mounting can be performed by a competent individual, the internal wiring and the selection of the correct contact blocks must be performed by a qualified electrician. It is essential that the cable glands are fitted correctly to maintain the IP65 seal, especially if the station is installed in an environment prone to moisture or fine dust.

What is this for?

The IMO EN03C is the industry standard for Dual-Function Local Control:

• Start/Stop Stations: Housing a green start and red stop button for motors, pumps, and conveyors.
• Open/Close Controls: Used for motorized gates, shutters, or loading bay doors.
• Forward/Reverse Switching: Providing manual directional control for workshop machinery.
• Status & Control: Housing a selector switch alongside a pilot light to indicate whether a system is in "Manual" or "Auto" mode.
