Hammond Electronics new 1455F flanged extruded aluminium enclosures add a further variant to its 1455 standard family. The enclosure features a new extrusion that provides a flat base with integral mounting flanges. The flanges, which spread beyond the body of the unit, have four notches to receive securing screws for mounting the units to a flat surface such as a wall, bulkhead or machine. Two sizes, 80mm x 54mm x 23mm and 120mm x 54mm x 23mm, are initially offered in clear and black anodised finish, with additional sizes released over the coming months. The overall width is 77mm including the two mounting flanges. Both the launch sizes are created to accept 50mm wide, 1.6mm thick PCBs with lengths of either 80mm or 120mm. There are two removable aluminium end panels, which are flat for easy machining for I/O components. The PCB mounts into horizontal slots in the body of the enclosure; four alternative vertical positions are available.
The enclosure is the latest addition to the family which now extends to the 29-strong standard, ranging in size from 60mm x 45mm x 25mm to 220mm x 165mm x 52mm. Other standard versions include the IP65 sealed 1457, the screened 1457-EMI version and the 1455HD thermally efficient units.
