IP66 Full-Plastic Electrical Box: Key Features & Typical Use
IP66 for the Hardest Positions
The LYC5 is sealed to IP66, which covers protection against dust ingress and against powerful water jets. That is a step beyond the weather resistance needed for ordinary outdoor boxes, and it suits wash-down areas, food processing rooms, marine and agricultural installations where an enclosure has to be hosed down rather than merely rained on.Stainless Latch Hinges
The closure uses stainless steel latch hinges, so the parts that are touched every time the box is opened do not corrode. Because the latches are the components most likely to seize or break on an outdoor enclosure, specifying stainless steel here has more effect on service life than upgrading the wall thickness of the body.Transparent or Opaque
Two variants are offered. Type A has a PC panel over an ABS enclosure, so the internal devices remain visible. Type AB is opaque ABS throughout, which suits installations where the contents should not be on display. Both share the same enclosure footprint and the same latch hardware, so the choice does not change the installation detail.Twelve Sizes from 150 to 510 mm
The range runs from LYC5-151007 at 150 x 100 x 70 mm up to LYC5-514120 at 510 x 410 x 200 mm, covering everything from a small sensor junction to a control panel. Stainless latches can be replaced with plastic hinges where a lighter closure is preferred, and each box ships with the panel, enclosure and latch hardware.IP66 Full-Plastic Electrical Box Specifications & Technical Data

LYC5 — an IP66 Electrical Box with Stainless Steel Latches
Some enclosures are not merely weatherproof; they are washed. The LYC5 is sealed to IP66, so it is protected against dust ingress and against powerful water jets, which is what makes it usable in wash-down areas, food processing rooms, agricultural buildings and marine installations where an ordinary outdoor box would take water in at the first hose-down.This enclosure is also searched for as an IP66 junction box, a wash-down electrical box or a waterproof control enclosure, and it is compared with metal enclosures and with lower-rated plastic boxes. Where the box will be jet-washed or chemically exposed, the questions worth asking a manufacturer are the sealing system, the latch material and how the cable entries are sealed, because those three points decide whether the rating holds in service.The closure uses stainless steel latch hinges, so the parts that are handled every time the box is opened do not corrode or seize. Because latches are the component most likely to end the service life of an outdoor enclosure, that choice matters more to long-term reliability than adding thickness to the body.Two variants are available: transparent Type A with a PC panel over an ABS enclosure, and opaque Type AB in ABS throughout. Twelve sizes run from LYC5-151007 at 150 x 100 x 70 mm up to LYC5-514120 at 510 x 410 x 200 mm, covering sensor junctions through to control panels, with plastic hinges available where a lighter closure is preferred.Factory-Direct IP66 Full-Plastic Electrical Box Manufacturer & OEM / ODM

What is an IP66 electrical box?
It is an enclosure rated IP66, which means it is dust protected and resistant to powerful water jets rather than only to rain or splash. The LYC5 is a full-plastic IP66 box with stainless steel latch hinges, available in a transparent Type A with a PC panel over an ABS enclosure and an opaque Type AB in ABS throughout, across twelve sizes from 150 x 100 mm to 510 x 410 mm.Where are IP66 enclosures used?
They are used where the enclosure is washed rather than merely rained on: food and beverage processing rooms, agricultural and breeding buildings, vehicle wash areas, marine and coastal installations, chemical plants and any industrial position subject to hose-down cleaning. They are also used for outdoor junction and control positions where maintenance access is infrequent.What is the difference between transparent and opaque electrical boxes?
A transparent front allows the internal devices to be checked without opening the enclosure, which is useful where the box is sealed against water and repeated opening risks disturbing the gasket. An opaque front suits installations where the contents should not be visible. Both variants use the same enclosure footprint and latch hardware, so the choice does not change the mounting arrangement.Who manufactures IP66 electrical enclosures?
Suppliers range from specialist moulded-enclosure factories to general electrical manufacturers, and the difference appears in the sealing system and the hardware rather than in the outer shape. Ask which flame-retardant material is used, whether the latches are stainless steel, and how gland entries are arranged so the rating survives installation. LYE manufactures the LYC5 in Wenzhou and holds ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, CCC, CE and TUV certification.How much does an IP66 electrical box cost?
Indicative factory-direct pricing is roughly US$8 to US$120 per unit, depending on the size, whether the transparent or opaque variant is required, the latch material and the quantity ordered. Because these boxes are often specified across many positions on one plant, mixed sizes can be supplied together, and plastic hinges can be substituted where a lighter closure is preferred.

Use a distribution box for final circuits and compact branch protection; use a cabinet when the project needs larger incoming capacity, more feeder groups, metering, busbars or greater internal separation. The final choice should be checked against the single-line diagram, device list, available installation space and local project rules.
Provide the device schedule, circuit quantity, component dimensions, cable-entry direction, mounting method and required spare capacity. LYE also reviews door clearance, bending radius, heat-producing devices and the usable depth behind the mounting plate before confirming an enclosure size.
Start with the actual exposure to dust, rain, cleaning water and accidental contact rather than choosing the highest number by default. Cable entries, ventilation, door seals and installation workmanship affect the finished assembly, so the target rating and verification basis must be confirmed for the specific product and project.
Coated or galvanized steel is commonly considered for general indoor service, stainless steel for humid or corrosive locations, and engineering plastic for lightweight non-metallic applications. Material grade, thickness, UV exposure, chemical contact and earthing requirements must be confirmed against the installation environment.
Share the component heat load, ambient temperature, solar exposure, duty cycle and allowable internal temperature. LYE can then review enclosure volume, spacing, ventilation or fan provisions, sun shields, heaters or drainage details; the final thermal design remains tied to the installed equipment and site conditions.
Yes. A dimensioned drawing is preferred, but a physical sample and clear reference photographs can also start the review. Material, thickness, openings, hardware, finish, labels, inspection points and packing are recorded before sampling or repeat production.
PDF and common 2D CAD drawings are suitable for most enclosure enquiries, while 3D files can help with complex assemblies. Include a revision number, units, tolerances and component references; file compatibility and any missing production information will be confirmed during review.
A sample or first article can be arranged for a new or customized product. The approval plan should identify dimensions, openings, fit, appearance, hardware, labels and packaging, together with the sample cost and timing agreed for the actual order.
Available documents may include approved drawings, packing lists, dimensional or appearance inspection records, product data and certificates applicable to the confirmed model. Destination-specific declarations or third-party testing must be requested before order placement so availability and scope can be verified.
Lead time is confirmed after the product scope, quantity, sample requirement and finish are known. Packing is reviewed against product weight, surface protection, destination and shipping method; if an issue is found after delivery, send the order reference, label, photographs and quantity affected so it can be traced and reviewed.
