SDC 480-SSB Surface Mount Box, 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 2-1/8", Weatherized, Battery Clip

The SDC 480-SSB measures 5-1/2 x 5-1/2 x 2-1/8 inches. Because it is a surface mount box, you don't cut a back box into the wall, you fasten it to the finished surface and run wire to it. Plan on a flat mounting surface at least 5-1/2 inches square, and allow the 2-1/8 inch depth of projection off the wall when it sits near a door swing or a frame return.

It is a weatherized box, so it is built for exterior push plate and actuator locations, garage and loading dock entries, and other openings exposed to the elements. It is a commercial-duty part, not a residential item.

Yes. The 480-SSB includes a battery clip, which is what lets it house a wireless transmitter push plate or actuator at a location with no wiring run to it. SDC's push plates and touch panels are offered in wireless or hardwired form, so if you are going wireless at an exterior opening this is the box that carries the battery.

Use an MS Sedco box matched to the switch series. The MS Sedco 1010 is a two-piece mounting box for activation switches compatible with the 59J and 614-SSN series, and the MS Sedco 1015 is a two-piece box compatible with the 59, 59V, 1078, 216, 830 and 614 series. The SDC 480-SSB is a weatherized box with a battery clip intended for SDC push plates and actuators, so confirm your switch series first and order the Sedco box that lists it.

Both are surface mount boxes, but they serve different equipment. The SDC 480-SSB is a weatherized surface mount box measuring 5-1/2 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 2-1/8 in. with a battery clip, sized for SDC push plates and actuators. The Aiphone GT-102HB is a hooded surface mount box made for a GT Series entrance panel, so its opening matches that panel rather than a push plate or switch. Pick by the device you are mounting: the 480-SSB for an SDC plate or wireless actuator, the GT-102HB for an Aiphone GT entrance station.

It is the enclosure, not the switch. You pair it with an SDC push plate, actuator or touch panel, round or square, which is what the user presses to release the door and signal a low energy swing door operator. Order the plate or panel separately along with the box.

The SDC 480-SSB is surface mount only, so it won't drop into a wall cavity. If the device you are mounting is an Aiphone IXG-DM7-HID, the IXG-DM7-BOX is the flush mount back box for it. For Aiphone LE-SS-1G intercom stations the SBX-1G is a surface box, and the SBX-AXDVF suits the AX-DVF.

No. The SDC 480-SSB is a surface mount box, 5-1/2 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 2-1/8 in., that sits on the face of the wall or bollard. For a recessed installation on an Aiphone station, the IXG-DM7-BOX is a flush mount back box for the IXG-DM7-HID. Choose by mounting method first, then confirm the box is listed for your specific device.

They are not interchangeable. The Aiphone SBX-1G is a surface mount box for LE-SS-1G intercom stations and the SBX-AXDVF is a surface mount box for the AX-DVF door station; each is cut for that Aiphone faceplate. The SDC 480-SSB is a weatherized 5-1/2 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 2-1/8 in. box with a battery clip for SDC push plates and actuators, including wireless plates that need the battery held inside the box. If you are mounting an SDC plate, order the 480-SSB.

The SDC 480-SSB is the weatherized option, a 5-1/2 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 2-1/8 in. surface box with a battery clip, which suits an exposed exterior push plate or wireless actuator on a wall or bollard. The Aiphone GT-102HB takes a different approach for its own equipment, using a hood over a GT Series entrance panel. Match the box to the device brand and model, then confirm the weather exposure at the opening.

It is aimed at commercial work, and SDC lists these access and egress solutions for commercial buildings, technology centers, warehouses, industrial facilities, convention centers and long term living facilities. Since the weatherized box and battery clip let you place an actuator at an exterior or unwired opening, it's a practical way to keep the same actuator style across interior and exterior doors in a facility.

No. It is sold as a single configuration, the 5-1/2 x 5-1/2 x 2-1/8 inch weatherized surface mount box with battery clip. There are no size, finish or mounting variations to specify when you order it.
