Shallow Electrical Boxes

Low profile junction box enclosures are available in a wide variety of sizes and styles from Polycase. We offer options for both indoor and outdoor applications, available in plastic or aluminum. Our low profile outdoor enclosures are weatherproof and meet a range of NEMA and IP ratings.

Shallow electrical boxes are designed to house components in industrial or commercial environments where space may be a concern. Optional accessories on select series of low profile electrical boxes include internal mounting panels, cable glands, vents, DIN rails and pole mounting kits.

Common Use Cases for Low Profile Electrical Boxes

What’s the purpose of low profile enclosures? Basically, it’s all about minimizing an enclosure’s spatial footprint. Specifically, a “low profileenclosure almost always means an enclosure with a shallow height — i.e., the distance between its base and its cover is short. Ultimately, that means the enclosure will be less physically prominent.

So, which types of applications call for a low profile enclosure? While the actual end user applications vary widely, the basic answer is that a low profile enclosure can be a good choice any time you need an enclosure model that conserves space. That could be an industrial enclosure that needs to fit inside a larger piece of equipment, or it could be a desktop enclosure that requires a compact form factor for user experience purposes. Whatever the specific application, the small footprint of low profile enclosures makes them easier to fit right where they’re needed.

Low Profile Enclosures: What to Consider

These are some relevant factors you’ll want to keep in mind when evaluating low profile enclosure models:

  • Durable Materials: A low profile enclosure needs to be constructed from sturdy materials just like any other type of enclosure, and Polycase offers numerous options including aluminum, polycarbonate and more. See our guide to enclosure materials to learn more about your choices.
  • Weatherproof Boxes: Polycase offers multiple low profile models with weatherproof features and IP/NEMA-rated performance. These can be excellent choices for low profile outdoor electrical boxes.
  • UL Listed: Choosing an enclosure with NEMA and/or IP ratings? Look for a UL Listed enclosure to ensure that it’s been tested and verified for the performance your application requires.
  • Easy Mounting: If you plan to surface mount your enclosure, a model that offers built-in mounting features such as flanges can make the process easier. Look for molded-on flanges for the most convenience and durability.
  • Customization Options: Enclosures often need to be customized with cutouts to accommodate connectors and cables, or with text and images for user experience or branding purposes. Polycase offers robust in-house customization options through our CNC machining and digital printing services, with instant quotes available any time.
