Looking for (plastic) boxes that come in two same or similar halve to enclose a two inch cube (approx) - ideas?

What about a Choc Box?

That's the idea but totally the wrong shape, it's 90 x 50.6 x 28.3mm. My current sensors are toroids about 40mm diameter (with lugs that make them bigger) that the wire must feed through so, in the same order as the dimensions given above, I need NN x 50 x 50mm. NN needs to be about 50 as well but wouldn't matter if it was a little more.

why not pot them in casting resin?

A bit difficult with a big hole right through the middle for the cable! If you mean cast a blob onto the cable I suppose that would be possible but it would be difficult to test and set up before potting it. .... and anyway I'd still need a box of about the size I suggested to start with to pour the resin into.

This is *almost* what I want though I'd prefer it a bit smaller and threading the cables through will be quite difficult I suspect:-

Nearest I can find is on this page.

That's pretty close to what I want, thanks.

Because it has free-range peroxides running amok during curing and it will drivel up any electronics nearby.

Pot them in resin by all means, but shell out for the right stuff.

Can't you just pot the whole thing?

Potterays!

How about these from Maplin

As I said to a previous poster it's difficult. The big cable has to go through the middle of the current sensor so you'd have to have a hole through the middle of the potted assembly.

So pot it with a hole in the middle. I'm sure you can find something of suitable size to keep a void free while the compound sets.

How many do you need? e-mail me off-line.

Could you remove the innards from cheap water-resistant 13A sockets and just use the outers - spring close lids and squidgy rubber grommets

Make them out of perspex and use silicon to bond the sides together, then paint whatever colour.

what to do is get a open ended container and pour it full an leave the wires coming out of the top.

??

The current sensor is a toroid, you can't have "wires coming out of the top.", it's a great big wire (like 1.5cm diameter) that goes right through the assembly.

Not deep enough really.

FD96E - Potting Box cube (£0.89)

But there's no sign of FD96E at the bottom and none of the boxes there could be described as a 'cube'.

I suspect that an FD96E might be just what I want, but how do I find out? My local store does have three in stock so I might just go and take a look.

That's an idea, I have a couple knocking around.
