Stainless steel distribution box, with stainless steel plate as the core material, is precisely processed to form a professional electrical protective shell. It is used to protect the electrical equipment inside the product from damp, corrosive and dusty indoor and outdoor environments.
When choosing materials, clearly distinguish the differences between 201, 304 and 316 stainless steel.
●201 stainless steel: An economical austenitic stainless steel with a relatively high manganese (Mn) content and a relatively low nickel (Ni) content. It has good adaptability in dry indoor environments and has a cost advantage over other materials.
●304 stainless steel (industry standard choice) : Containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel, it is suitable for the vast majority of natural outdoor and urban indoor environments and has corrosion resistance. It is the most common and reliable choice for outdoor rainproof boxes, photovoltaic boxes, monitoring boxes, water meter boxes and other products that need to face the challenges of outdoor wind and rain, and it is the top choice for durability and economy.
●316 stainless steel (top corrosion-resistant choice) : 2-3% molybdenum (Mo) is added on the basis of 304. Molybdenum significantly enhances its resistance to corrosion from chlorides (such as seawater and deicing salts) and industrial chemicals. Therefore, 316 material is the preferred choice for outdoor environments such as coastal power stations, chemical plants, offshore engineering platforms, and sewage treatment facilities.
As a China manufacturing factory deeply engaged in the industry, we are committed to designing functional products that are deeply integrated with scenarios:
●Environmental adaptation: We will precisely select the matching materials and protection levels (IP54/IP65/IP66) based on the installation location (indoor/outdoor) and micro-environment (coastal/industrial zone), and choose weather-resistant sealing strips to enhance the protection capability.
●Functional derivation: In response to the diverse demands of operation and maintenance, a variety of professional product design structures have been developed. For instance, the Double-Door Box For Indoor and Outdoor Doors enables safe zoning and convenient inspection. The Outdoor Left and Right Double-Door Box solve the problem of comprehensive maintenance in narrow Spaces. The photovoltaic box and charging box are equipped with dedicated heat dissipation and wiring solutions for the inverter and charging module.
We have factories and a complete supply chain in China. We can offer you a full range of stainless steel material options from 201, 304 to 316, and based on your specific needs, we can customize the entire process from plate thickness, structural form, heat dissipation design to internal layout.
