An electrical socket empty box, often called a "junction box" or "electrical box," is a container used in electrical installations to house and protect electrical connections, wires, and devices like outlets or switches. These boxes are typically made of metal or plastic and are designed to meet safety and building code standards.
The primary purpose of these boxes is to protect electrical connections from physical damage, moisture, and dust, which could potentially lead to electrical hazards or fires.
They house the wiring connections, ensuring they are safely contained within the walls or ceilings of buildings. This prevents exposure and reduces the risk of accidental contact.
Electrical boxes provide a stable and secure mounting point for electrical outlets, switches, and other devices. This ensures that these components are properly secured to the wall or ceiling.
