Abstract

A weather-resistant junction box is disclosed. The junction box includes a back panel and a number of sidewalls arising from the back panel to create an enclosure with an open face. A removable panel is constructed and arranged to cover and close the open face. A cap with an overhang extends over the top of the enclosure, extending out and down over the top portions of its sidewalls. Internally, the enclosure is divided by one or more partitions into a driver compartment and two or more connection compartments. Each of the connection compartments includes at least one opening, or a knock-out for the opening. All of the openings or knock-outs for all of the connection compartments may be located in the same panel of the junction box.
