Carlon CJ863B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size is the Carlon CJ863B JIC enclosure inside, and what does 8x6x3 refer to?
The Carlon CJ863B is an 8 x 6 x 3 inch JIC-size polycarbonate enclosure. Those three numbers are the JIC standard box designation, which is what lets it line up with standard JIC mounting layouts. Match those figures against your panel or backplate footprint before you commit, since JIC sizing is how these boxes are specified on drawings.
2) Is the Carlon CJ863B enclosure metal or plastic, and will it corrode in a wash-down or coastal area?
It's non-metallic. The CJ863B body is polycarbonate, so there is no steel to rust out the way a painted JIC steel box does near salt air, chemicals, or regular wash-down. Polycarbonate also takes impact well, which is why it gets used for field-mounted instrument housings rather than protected indoor panels only.
3) Does the cover come off the Carlon JIC enclosure when you open it?
No. The cover on the Carlon Circuit Safe JIC enclosure is hinged, and the hinge caps make the cover captive, so it stays attached to the box when you open it up. For a technician working at height or over a machine bed that matters, there is no loose lid or loose screws to drop into equipment during service.
4) What is the Carlon CJ863B actually intended to house?
Instrument case duty. Carlon lists the application as instrument case, so it's built around protecting sensitive electrical and electronic components, transmitters, small controls, terminal blocks and the like, rather than serving as a general pull box. The polycarbonate shell and captive hinged cover suit equipment that gets opened for calibration or checks.
5) What part number do I order for the Carlon 8x6x3 black JIC polycarbonate enclosure?
Order Carlon CJ863B. That is the manufacturer part number for the 8 x 6 x 3 JIC Circuit Safe enclosure in black polycarbonate with the hinged captive cover, and it's the number to put on a purchase order or cross against a distributor's line card.
6) Is the Carlon JIC box black, and does the color matter outdoors?
The CJ863B is black. On a non-metallic enclosure the pigment is part of how the shell handles sun exposure, which is why outdoor-mounted plastic boxes are commonly specified black rather than clear or light gray. If you need to see indicator lights or a meter face without opening the box, this is the wrong choice and you want a clear-cover version instead.
7) Is the Carlon Circuit Safe JIC enclosure made in the USA?
Yes, the country of origin on the Carlon CJ863B is the United States. That is worth knowing on public and institutional work where domestic-origin material has to be documented on the submittal.
