Die-cast enclosure is sealed to IP66
The latest addition to the extensive selection of die-cast enclosures from Hammond Electronics is the 1550Z family, a range of thick wall (3 to 4mm depending on size) IP66 sealed boxes for use in applications where impact protection and environmental sealing are primary requirements.
The 18 industry-standard sizes in the family range from 50x45x30mm to 223x147x83mm, and as standard they are supplied in either natural with a smooth vibra-finish or in a tough black polyester powder coated finish. Economically priced, the units offer outstanding value for money, achieved by multi-impression tools and automated machining and finishing during manufacture.
Environmental sealing is achieved through a combination of a tongue and groove construction and a pre-formed 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 in to factory-tapped holes to aid repeated opening and closing.
