Abstract
A universal junction box includes an upper body having a first connecting feature. A lower body releasably connects to the upper body having a second connecting feature configured to mate with the first connecting feature. The upper body and lower body forming a housing to receive an electrical connection. A first mounting feature is configured to selectively secure the housing to an associated frame or to an unassociated frame or other support structure.

A universal junction box comprising:
- an upper body having a first connecting feature;
- a lower body releasably connected to the upper body having a second connecting feature configured to mate with the first connecting feature, the upper body and lower body forming a housing to receive an electrical connection;
- and
- a first mounting feature configured to selectively secure the housing to at least one of an associated frame and an unassociated frame or other support structure, wherein the first mounting feature includes a foot extending from the lower body, the foot having an opening extending therethrough, wherein the foot can be received in a projection of the associated frame or a fastener can extend through the opening to secure the junction box to the unassociated frame.
