Overview

This classification covers junction boxes designed for making electrical connections within circuits, specifically for voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts. These enclosures are used to house and protect electrical splices, connections, and wiring, facilitating the organization and safe distribution of electrical power or signals. They serve as points where multiple conductors can be joined together, ensuring secure and insulated connections for both indoor and outdoor applications.

While siblings like electrical distribution ducts serve to channel and protect multiple conductors in a continuous run, junction boxes are primarily intended as termination or connection points within a wiring system. This category excludes apparatus for switching, protecting circuits (like fuses or surge suppressors), or simple connectors like plugs and sockets, as junction boxes are specifically designed for housing and managing multiple connections rather than performing active electrical functions or acting as individual connection points.

As a leaf node, this classification represents the most specific level for these types of junction boxes. Classification under 8536.90.85.30 would apply to junction boxes that do not fall under any more narrowly defined subcategories within this HTS structure, often distinguished by their primary function of housing and protecting multiple electrical connections.
