Overview

The nVent Q1686ABD is a compact ABS terminal box (SKU: Q1686ABD) measuring 80x160x56mm, designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial settings. Manufactured by nVent, this enclosure belongs to the QLine D series, featuring a contemporary design with flush cover screws for streamlined installation. Constructed from durable, halogen-free ABS, it offers good impact resistance and chemical resilience, suitable for indoor use with low UV radiation resistance. The Q1686ABD provides IP66 and IP67 protection against dust and water ingress, and IK06/07 impact resistance, ensuring component integrity. Its polyurethane gasket is integrated into the cover for a secure seal. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +60°C, with a flammability rating of UL94 HB.
