Marine Electrical Enclosures & Junction Boxes

Marine electrical enclosures and waterproof junction boxes provide critical protection for sensitive electrical equipment exposed to harsh sea conditions. Designed for durability, these enclosures shield against water, salt, corrosion, and mechanical damage—ensuring your onboard systems operate safely and reliably.

Protective Housing with a Purpose

Enclosures serve as sealed barriers for wiring junctions, circuit boards, power interfaces, and sensitive electronics. In marine environments, the choice of material—such as UV-resistant polycarbonate, stainless steel, or powder-coated aluminum—can significantly impact longevity and reliability.

Historical Evolution

Originally adapted from industrial applications in the mid-20th century, marine electrical enclosures have become increasingly specialized. Early designs relied on heavy steel casings, often prone to rust. By the 1970s and 80s, companies like NewMar began developing compact, weatherproof boxes specifically for maritime use. Today’s innovations include integrated busbars, IP-rated gasket seals, modular expansion, and internal cable management for streamlined installation.

NewMar Junction Boxes

NewMar leads the marine enclosure market with a line of purpose-built junction boxes that combine corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, and compact form factors. Their BX series, for example, is widely used across marine communication, navigation, and auxiliary systems. Innovations such as internal DIN rails, pre-tapped screw mounts, and multi-port waterproofing set NewMar apart in rugged maritime applications.
