This is the IMO EN05C IP65 Industrial Enclosure – a Protective Housing with DIN Rail for Contactors & Relays available at SparksDirect for the best price. Purchase this item with confidence at Sparks today.
The IMO EN05C is a rugged protective housing engineered for electrical and electronic components in demanding applications. It is specifically sized to accommodate IMO CR-series contactors or RL-series relays, providing a secure mounting point outside of a main distribution board. Constructed from flame-retardant, self-extinguishing ABS plastic, it features an IP65 protection rating, ensuring that internal power components are shielded from dust, grit, and low-pressure water jets.
The enclosure features an integral internal DIN rail, allowing for quick "snap-on" installation of components. It is the primary choice for creating localized control points for industrial motors, pumps, and heating systems. Its deep profile ensures there is ample room for wiring around the switching gear, preventing cable stress and heat build-up. This makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations where robust mechanical and environmental protection is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I fit an industrial contactor and an overload relay inside this box?
A: Yes. The 180mm height is specifically designed to accommodate a standard industrial contactor paired with a plug-in thermal overload relay, leaving sufficient room for tidy wiring and cable entry.
Q: Does it come with the DIN rail already inside?
A: Yes, the EN05C includes a pre-installed section of 35mm DIN rail at the back of the enclosure, making it ready for component mounting immediately.
Q: Is the lid transparent or solid?
A: The EN05C features a solid grey lid. This provides maximum protection and UV resistance for the components inside, though it requires opening the lid to inspect the internal status of the switchgear.
Who can install this?
The physical mounting of the enclosure can be performed by a competent individual, but the installation of internal contactors, relays, and associated power wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. Because this box often houses switching equipment for motors and heaters, the installer must ensure cable glands are properly sealed to maintain the IP65 rating and that all terminations are torqued correctly to prevent fire hazards.
What is this for?
The IMO EN05C is used for Localized Power Switching and Protection:
- Stand-alone Motor Starters: Housing a contactor and overload relay to create a simple DOL (Direct-On-Line) starter for a pump, fan, or conveyor.
- Outdoor Power Control: Protecting contactors used for outdoor arena lighting, fountain pumps, or large pond filtration systems.
- HVAC Control: Housing the switching gear for warehouse heaters or greenhouse ventilation systems located away from the main fuse board.
- Industrial Automation: Protecting relays and interface modules in damp or dusty factory environments.
