What it is

A junction box where
the lid is the seal.

The iSTB is a bolted-lid junction box: the lid is fastened by perimeter screws rather than a continuous hinge, creating a superior seal and a more robust closure for demanding environments. In its ATEX variant (iSTB·Ex) it carries Ex e increased safety certification for Zone 1 and Zone 2 under IEC 60079-7.

316L stainless is standard throughout, with 304 available where chloride resistance requirements are reduced. Entry from any face. Custom sized to your cable schedule.

Bolted lid
Superior IP66 seal

Perimeter fasteners compress the EPDM gasket evenly. No hinge gap. Better suited than a hinged lid where frequent water exposure or cleaning is expected.

316L as standard
Marine-grade stainless

316L throughout: body, lid, gland plate, hardware. Molybdenum-enhanced grade for chloride and salt-spray resistance. 304 available as an alternative.

Entry from any face
Any cable schedule

Gland plates on bottom, sides, or top to your drawing. Single or multiple plates per face. Custom metric hole patterns. Entries are blanked and supplied for site drilling.

Ex e certified
Zone 1 and Zone 2

ATEX, IECEx and UKCA certified. Category II 2 G. CML-certified Ex e terminal blocks fitted to your specification. Full documentation supplied with each ATEX unit.

Small to large
120×120×90 to 2000×1200×800

Custom sized to your terminal count and wiring radius. Small junction boxes for instrument loops and large boxes for marshalling, same quality, same factory.

A4 hardware
Stainless throughout

All lid screws, DIN rail fixing hardware and earth studs in A4 stainless. No zinc-plated fasteners. Suitable for marine and chemical environments without additional protection.

Choosing the right box

Hinged or bolted?
Here's the difference.

iTB, Hinged lid

Better for wiring access

The hinged lid stays open at 90° during cable installation, keeping both hands free. Better suited when the enclosure needs to be opened regularly for inspection or maintenance. The hinge is a potential ingress point, so IP66 is maintained by the gasket compression.

View iTB Terminal Boxes
iSTB, Bolted lid

Better seal integrity

The bolted lid compresses the gasket at every corner evenly. No hinge gap, no single-point seal failure. Better suited for permanently sealed terminal boxes in harsh environments, or where the box is unlikely to be opened once installed. Slightly longer to open than a hinged lid.
