Hammond 1590 Series Natural Die Cast Aluminium Enclosure, IP66, IK08, Natural Lid, 175 x 80 x 52mm

Keep sensitive components under wraps with this protective enclosure from Hammond. It's die-cast, so you can be sure there are no weak joints. A tongue-and-groove style lid construction means you get a rugged box that shrugs off disruptive EMI and RFI. A gasket fully seals the join between the body and lid, ensuring dirt and moisture stay out. Designed to meet an IP68 rating, it's dust-tight and resistant to temporary immersion in water. This makes it safe for housing sensitive equipment such as electronics in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.

• Gasket is resistant to temperatures between -40°C and +150°C to stand up to industrial conditions
• Self-tapping lid screws and pre-drilled mounting holes speed up installation
• Lid and mounting holes are outside the gasket to protect the seal

• Electronics manufacturing
• Instrumentation
• Computer equipment
• Automotive industry

As it's made from aluminium alloy, this enclosure is durable and easy to machine – you'll have no trouble customising it for cable entries, DIN rails and PCBs. This material is also lightweight, meaning the box tips the scales at 0.53kg and is suitable for wall mounting.
