Hammond offers small die-cast aluminium enclosures
Hammond Electronics
Aluminium enclosures
Hammond Electronics has launched the initial six sizes in the new 1550 family: a range of industry-standard-size small die-cast aluminium enclosures.
The enclosures provide mechanical protection and good EMC attenuation levels, making them suitable for a use in a variety of applications.
The full range will consist of 16 sizes, all of which will be available by the end of 2009.
Available with a natural or black epoxy powder-coated finish, the units are supplied in two versions: standard and watertight.
Each watertight unit is supplied with a separate compressible self-adhesive gasket that, when fitted between the lid and the base, provides dust and water sealing to IP66, enabling the unit to be used in both benign and hostile environments.
The thin-wall aluminium enclosures have high impact strength but can be drilled and punched to accept cables, switches and indicators as required.
The initially available sizes range from 60mm x 55mm x 26mm to 115mm x 90mm x 51mm; the largest size in the family, to be introduced later in the year, will be 275mm x 175mm x 65mm.
All units can be supplied factory modified with machining and silk screening to the user's specification.
