Hammond Electronics has introduced the 1551W Series, IP68 sealed versions of its popular 1551 miniature enclosure family. Launched in an initial five sizes, all offered with a plain or flanged lid, the UL94-V0 polycarbonate enclosures are ideal for use inside or outside. They are provided in black and grey with a soft texture finish, all are fitted with PCB stand-offs in the base and the preformed silicone sealing gasket gives excellent protection against the ingress of dust or water, protecting the housed electronics. The initial five sizes range from 60mm x 35mm x 22mm to 100mm x 59mm x 25mm. The flanged lid versions make mounting to any surface a straightforward and easy process and offer a degree of tamper resistance by stopping access to the lid and base securing screws.
The series is the latest extension to the extensive 1551 family. The general-purpose IP54 ABS 1551 family is offered in 18 sizes with plain or flanged lids. Plain lid versions are provided in black, grey or translucent blue, flanged list version in black or grey. Three sizes are offered fitted with key rings.
The rectangular and round vented 1551V versions are created to house sensors and small sub-systems installed in the manufacturing environment. One of their key features is the snap-fit closure that enables repeated opening and closing with no tools and also maximises the internal space for PCBs by eradicating screw fixings to secure the cover to the base. They provide ventilation slots on all four vertical faces of the cover and wall mounting slots and a 15mm cable knock out in the base. All rectangular and round versions are also available in an unvented style in all sizes.
