box size stc 1000

[Deebee]

Need to make another temp controller.
Have an stc 100 but need a plastic box big enough to fit 2 single sockets on top.
Can someone send me a link to something suitable.
Do i need to add a box underneath for the sockets to fix to or is there another way?

I used this one...
ABS BLACK PLASTIC ELECTRONICS PROJECT BOX ENCLOSURE 220 X 150 X 64MM https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IFEX9U6/ ... 6ub1X9PS95

Probably not the cheapest but it looks smart and there's plenty of room for two sockets on top. I was originally going to set mine up like you intend but decided to have two cables coming out of the back with the female sockets. The tube heater cable is quite short so this option worked for me.

Cheers, lee

I just use small boxes and have trailing sockets which also act as extension cables.

i used the one above was a tight fit but worked if i was to build another i would maybe go for the next size above

its what i used when i built mine with 2 single sockets ontop - theres a tread on here bout it. - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=69842
Maplins t+c's say uk only, also found http://www.amazon.co.uk/Desktop-Instrum ... roject+box maplins and that place both have a webstore so may be worth a try.
the second one gives you sizes to work with.

Are Norwegian sockets the same size as UK sockets?

About 8 cm across.
found this on ebayhttp://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/361056758054?_mwBanner=1

Tok the one that was 200x120 so should be ok. Imagine a normal hole saw will be enough for the plastic.

Slightly smaller than a UK one then, an 'MB7' (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271364359938) project box is just big enough for 2 UK sockets to fit in the lid and squeeze an arduino and relay board into (not the Pi though.).. so yes the 200x should be good IMHO.

EDIT: Sorry, just remembered you're doing an STC1000 not a brewpi thing here, but still the 200x size one should be good for your needs
