Electrical distribution enclosure | surface-mounted | plastic | 700x500x245 mm | IP65 | IK08 | with mounting plate | FAMATEL MAGNA 39157
FAMATEL MAGNA 39157 is a sealed, surface-mounted plastic enclosure measuring 700x500x245 mm for mounting distribution and automation equipment outdoors or in damp rooms. The ABS housing has double insulation, a white door with a lock, and a height-adjustable metal mounting plate – equipment is installed on the plate, while the housing protects it from dust, water jets and impacts.
Key idea:
When automation, a drive or distribution equipment needs to sit outdoors, against a building wall, or in a production hall, a metal box rusts and cheap plastic cracks in the sun. The MAGNA series solves both problems: UV-resistant ABS, IP65 sealing and Class II insulation with no enclosure earthing required.Dimensions

Class II (double insulation)How it works
The enclosure is fixed to a wall or structure using the mounting brackets included in the kit – the fixing screws stay outside the sealed zone, so the housing's tightness is not compromised. Inside, equipment is mounted on the metal plate: DIN rails with breakers, contactors, controllers, frequency inverters, terminal blocks.
Cables enter through holes drilled at the bottom or sides as needed, fitted with sealing cable glands – there are no pre-drilled holes in the housing, so each entry is made exactly where it's needed. The plate height is adjustable, so that deeper equipment still fits under the door. The door closes with a plastic lock; a perimeter gasket ensures IP65.
What makes the 39157 worthwhile?
It's a mid-sized enclosure that holds a full site control panel or automation node, and it requires no enclosure earthing. The ABS housing doesn't block GSM or radio signals – a modem or Wi-Fi controller mounted inside works without an external antenna.Technical specifications

- IP65 sealing – protection against dust and water jets, suitable for outdoor mounting under a canopy or against a wall.
- Double insulation – the housing does not need to be earthed; safe to install where there is no reliable PE conductor.
- Adjustable mounting plate – depth adapts to the equipment, so frequency inverters and deep contactors fit.
- IK08 impact resistance – withstands knocks in production and warehouse environments.
- UV-resistant ABS – doesn't yellow or become brittle outdoors.
- Radio transparency – GSM modems and wireless controllers work from inside the enclosure.
Where is it used?
- Outdoor lighting and signage control panels on buildings
- Pump station, drainage and water supply automation
- Gate, barrier and yard automation control units
- Ventilation, heating and cooling control panels on roofs and in plant rooms
- AC/DC distribution and protection nodes for solar power plants
- Production halls, wash bays, food industry – damp and aggressive environments
- Agricultural buildings: farms, greenhouses, grain dryers
- Outdoor telecommunications and CCTV equipment nodes
Use by need
For the domestic user.
For yard lighting, gate automation or pump control – one enclosure that holds breakers, a contactor and a controller, unfazed by rain.For businesses and industry.
The standard MAGNA size lets you standardise automation panels across several sites and keep one spare enclosure in stock.For electricians / engineers.
The 700x500 footprint with 245 mm depth fits 3–4 DIN rows, or an inverter up to 7.5 kW with ventilation; plate height can be adjusted on site.Practical example
If a pump station control panel needs to be mounted outdoors on a wall, and the site has no reliable earthing – the 39157 enclosure with Class II insulation lets you install breakers, a protection relay and a contactor without earthing the enclosure, while the IP65 gasket protects the equipment from rain and from water sprayed when the yard is washed down.
Pros
- Won't rust – the ABS housing suits damp and chemically aggressive environments.
- No enclosure earthing – less work and less risk.
- Spacious – 700x500x245 mm holds a full control panel.
- Metal plate included – no need to buy one separately.
- Lightweight – can be installed by one person.
- GSM signal passes through – no external antennas needed.
- Entries drilled to suit the project – sealing doesn't depend on unused plugs.
Cons / limitations
- Opaque door – meters and indicators can't be seen from outside.
- No cable entries pre-made – you need to drill and buy glands separately.
- Plastic lock – not a security lock, only protection against accidental opening.
- No active ventilation – heat dissipation needs to be assessed for high-power inverters.
- The housing heats up in direct sun – a canopy is recommended.
Safety and installation notes
- Drill cable entry holes at the bottom or on the sides, not on top – water won't get in through the entries.
- Use IP65-rated or higher cable glands; don't leave unused holes.
- Fix using only the brackets supplied in the kit – screws through the base of the housing break the seal.
- Any equipment with a metal housing must be earthed inside via the PE terminal block, even though the enclosure itself doesn't require earthing.
- After installation, check that the door gasket isn't pinched by cables.

IK08Insulation
Class II (double insulation)Suitable when you need:- an outdoor or damp-environment enclosure with no housing earthing;
- space for 3–4 DIN rows or an inverter with a mounting plate;
- a housing that won't rust and won't block GSM signal.
Check before use:- whether the equipment fits within the 245 mm depth (including the plate and cables);
- whether you have glands of the right size;
- whether the wall fixing can carry the enclosure with the equipment installed;
- whether ventilation is needed due to heat.
Important reminder:
IP65 applies only when the door is closed and the glands are fitted correctly. The enclosure is not immersion-proof and does not replace a fire-rated or anti-tamper housing.FAQ
Can it be mounted outdoors without a canopy?
Yes, the IP65 rating and UV-resistant ABS allow it; a canopy is recommended to reduce heating in the sun.Does the enclosure need to be earthed?
No – Class II insulation. Metal equipment installed inside is earthed as normal.Are DIN rails included in the kit?
No, the kit includes the metal plate; DIN rails are mounted onto it.Can a transparent door be fitted?
This model comes with an opaque door; check the MAGNA series for transparent-door versions.How much does it weigh?
About 6–7 kg without equipment installed.Is it suitable for a solar plant AC panel?
Yes, it's commonly used for AC/DC protection and distribution nodes.Electrical distribution enclosure | surface-mounted
The FAMATEL MAGNA 39157 is a surface-mounted plastic distribution enclosure, 700x500x245 mm, IP65, IK08, with double insulation and an adjustable metal mounting plate. A solution for outdoor and damp-environment automation, where a metal enclosure would rust and earthing would mean extra work.
