How many here locate relays in a sealed box?  This is what I am looking at doing to prevent moisture and dust problems.

I have a plastic electrical box and a quick disconnect bulkhead connector to put in the side of the box.

I just try to locate them outside of potential wet zones.  Same with CPU, etc.  No sealed box on either.

Honestly,I have not given thought to waterproofing/dust proofing  those things(in a box) since there is so many other things that are not. Probably should have given it thought though. Hmmmmmmmm..................

The article at Outfront discuss a pin hole in the relay and dust problems.  We have a river area we run in and while I dont plan on running in the water sometimes you make a wrong turn and hit some kind of like LS.  Like most all of the rest of this build probably overthought.

Not overkill at all IMO. I run sealed switches from K4 and use liquid electric sealer on things like relays. Works pretty well.
