I am considerign useing the ta-200 enclouser that is commonly used for remote SSR curcits in many hobbly level stuff. There nice and cheap $6-7 each and they make a nice standard to work with. But it is a small case i need to knwo if the wires even fit, i don't have one handy so i just asked:)

Here is a quote from a member on the diychristmas.org forum

"Took on the challenge and was very surprised! I used 18ga SPT-2 and was able to get 12 wires through the hole without the grommet!!

As you can see in the pictures 12 wires goes all the way to the edge of the enclosure so to be able to close it you may have to forfeit 2 wires. I'm not sure how you are going to do all the wiring in such a small box but more power to ya!"

Then a bit later he sent me this:

"I tried it again today but with an 18ga SPT-1 cord and I was able to fit 14 wires with room enough to close the box.

When I said "wires" in this and the above post I meant pairs of wire, ie 1 ribbed and 1 smooth per pair.

Things are starting to look real promising now, even with SPT-2.(which seems to be most popular for the AC controllers)"

Thansk jrd :)
