QILIPSU Hinged Cover 150x150x90mm Junction Box with Mounting Plate, Universal IP67 Project Box Waterproof DIY Electrical Enclosure, ABS Plastic Grey (5.9"x5.9"x3.5" Stainless Steel Latch)

Exactly as advertised. Was so airtight when I received it that I thought it was possibly defective (spoiler: it was NOT defective)... Took quite a lot of force to open, only to hear the suction as I did. This thing was so airtight, I couldn't open it with the negative internal pressure from flight, excellent!

I purchased the 8.6"x6.7"x4.3" SSL version and here are my thoughts on it for anyone using it for amateur radio:I purchased this size so it was thick enough to allow me to run coaxial cable into my house without bending the cable. This worked well and the metal tabs on the outside allowed me to attach it to my house (vinyl siding) easily without any modifications.The plastic didn't seem PVC durable and I felt if I drilled it with a larger diameter drill bit it could crack. To solve this issue I clamped a piece of wood on each side of the holes I intended to drill which prevented cracking and worked great. I also needed to cut a 2 1/8" hole in the back to run a PVC conduit pipe into my house so I could have several coax leads going inside. Again, I clamped wood on both sides and drilled the hole with no cracking issues. Later I needed to drill a small hole for my ground wire and using a small bit with no wood it came out fine.So what's my point here? If you're going to drill a lot of holes in this box to run cables and avoid cracking it use this method to prevent damage.The box itself seems like it will hold up fine. It's winter here and I've had no moisture issues but once summer storms roll around we'll see how well it works. I honestly do not anticipate any issues. I would definitely purchase this box again for future projects. The latches for the enclosure also seems fine.I did purchase "cable glands" which you can find on Amazon. This allows you to run cable and keep your holes waterproof. I mounted them all on the bottom of the case so I don't anticipate any rain water penetrating the box but, again, time will tell. Overall I'm happy with the intended outcome for amateur radio purposes.Last note. I ran RG-8X cable in and if I was to use RG213 or LMR400 I still think it would work ok with the larger diameter cables but if there was a lot of stress at the cable gland I might consider something a little thicker as this case is slightly on the thin side from a durability standpoint.

OVERVIEWThese have been a great purchase. Setup and installation was easy.QUALITYAfter doing research on other similar and competitive items - I chose this product. I am happy that I did.PROTECTIONI bought this (two actually) to provide protection for outdoor wireless access points. The access points are not cheap and I wanted something I could easily get to the device while providing a high level of protection. These fit that bill. Waterproof - yes. Sun proof - yes. Freeze proof - unknown.DIMENSIONSThe dimensions were important to me as I needed to fit the “TP-Link Deco Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (Deco S4)“. The Deco fits nicely within the junction box.WIRELESS FRIENDLYI did not experience measurable degradation of wireless signal when placing the Deco in the box. Granted I wasn’t using sophisticated RF measurement devices - but the apps on my phone were not reporting a huge dB drop. I used the Deco app and the signal value did not change. Strong signal two yards over (somewhat occluded line of sight too). I am a happy customer.

Love these enclosures, have used 4 of them so far for various projects and they just work perfectly and are very reasonably priced.I like the clear cover, latches work great and they seem to seal up great. None of my projects are going into the direct sunlight or direct rain, so can't speak to their performance in tougher environments.They come with a plastic sub-panel with square holes, what you can't see is the reinforcing ribs on the back that keep it about 1/4 off of your workbench when you are mounting things to it. Some #8 x 3/8" button head course thread screws work perfectly to mount din rail and those ribs keep you from attaching it to your workbench in that process.Very nice panel to work with, highly recommend, as I mentioned earlier I have already bought more of them.

03.13.2021I contacted the seller regarding the issues below. While they don't stock replacement parts, they were happy to resolve my issue with a replacement unit. The new one did NOT leak. I'm am adding myself to the other 5 star reviewers.A lot of good reviews, do I'm hoping mine is a one-off.I really hope there's an easy fix, but I installed this the day before rain, and when I came out to look, the box was wet inside. Fortunately, the controller inside has its own water resistance, so no damage. Maybe the O-ring is bad? I could find nothing obvious.Additionally, the screws for the mounting plate were not included. Fortunately I had a couple that would fit.Aside from the issues, this seems like a great project box. I have some other projects I'd like to use another box for, but I'm unsure.-2 points for water incursion. -1 point for missing hardware.
