1550Z die-cast enclosures
Hammond Electronics has introduced a range of die-cast enclosures for use in situations where impact protection and environmental sealing are primary requirements.
The 1550Z range of thick-wall (3mm to 4mm depending on size) IP66-sealed boxes can be supplied in either a natural finish with a smooth vibra-finish or in a tough black polyester powder-coated finish.
The 18 industry-standard sizes range from 50 x 45 x 30mm to 223 x 147 x 83mm.
Environmental sealing is achieved through a combination of a tongue and groove construction and a preformed one-piece silicone rubber gasket; to ensure the integrity of the seal, the fixing screws are outside the gasket area.
Depending on the size, the lid is secured with two, four or six stainless-steel machine screws going into factory-tapped holes to aid repeated opening and closing; in six selected sizes with thicker lids, captive screws are used as an alternative.
The bases have raised lands to facilitate PCB or component mounting; interior space is maximised with smooth walls and a shallow draught angle.
For securely attaching the enclosures to a surface if required, through-box blind holes are provided outside the sealed area.
