5A Junction box

JDW

Are 5amp junction boxes acceptable on a 6amp lighting circuit?

I personally wouldn’t use them as they are too small, but if they are already fitted are they acceptable?

    That circular junction boxes have a current rating puzzles me.   The terminals hold the two wires in close contact so that no current flows through any part of the box.   They should be rated only by the size of cable they will accommodate.
