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.
Claims20
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 an associated frame or to 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 an associated frame or a fastener can extend through the opening to secure the junction box to a non-associated frame.
