The IMO plastic box is comparable to the Solaredge inverter DC disco in terms of wall thickness. And the switch itself is identical. In my case, I would prefer to pay $200 for a listed compact 4-pole 1000vdc disco than the $2k it costs for a SQD metal box version of the same specs which is much larger and heavier. And yes, you do need to take care when installing to avoid the issues Will discussed. A little common sense goes a long way to avoid stripped screws. Just my 2 cents worth.

One of the posts that receives the screw for the cover was broken off and another was stripped because someone over tightened it which looks really easy to do. I can't imagine they'd hold up to much O&M work unless you never take the cover off. It did seem like a pretty nice solution but it's all plastic.
