Electricians and homeowners upgrading existing installations will appreciate the ABB Busch-balance SI surface-mounted housing. This 2-gang enclosure provides a clean, low-profile solution for mounting switches, sockets, or other Busch-Jaeger inserts directly onto walls without recessing. Its flat 12 mm depth keeps the profile discreet, while the Alpine White finish (RAL 9010) blends seamlessly with modern interiors.

Why choose it

The Busch-balance SI housing combines durability with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

The IK05 impact rating ensures it withstands everyday knocks, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. Compatibility with the entire Busch-Jaeger insert range offers flexibility for any wiring configuration.

Ideal use cases

• Retrofit projects where chasing walls is impractical
• Commercial buildings with concrete or brick walls
• Renovations requiring quick, clean installations
• Areas where surface wiring is preferred (e.g., basements, garages)

Good to know

This housing is designed for indoor use only (IP20). It accommodates two standard Busch-Jaeger inserts and can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The UV-resistant material prevents yellowing over time, maintaining its Alpine White appearance. For a complete installation, pair with matching Busch-balance SI frames and inserts (sold separately).
