New flame-retardant family of ABS IP54 enclosures

The new Hammond Electronics' 14-strong flame-retardant ABS IP54 1556 family, rated UL94-V0, is inspired by its recently launched IP68 polycarbonate 1557 series. It follows the same modern rounded corners and top face styling and introduces rectangular versions to complement the square format versions derived from the 1557 series. IP54 sealed for general-purpose indoor use, the ABS material provides a lower price point than the polycarbonate used in the 1557, created for outdoor and aggressive installation. Self-tapping screws secure the lid to the base, making it excellent for applications where repeated opening and closing is not needed. It is feature-rich and provides multiple options for configuration and customisation. There are numerous PCB mounting standoffs in the lid and the base.

There are four square plan sizes from 80mm x 80mm to 200mm x 200mm in the range and three rectangular ones from 120mm x 80mm to 200mm x 160mm. All sizes are obtainable in two heights, 45mm and 60mm for the smallest size and 45mm and 70mm for the larger ones in the family. All sizes are available in black, RAL 7035 grey and white. The modern soft rounded styling makes the 1556 an ideal desktop enclosure when fitted with the supplied feet, or it can be wall-mounted with either four visible mounts or two hidden mounts, which are available as optional accessories. Also available as an option for all sizes are 2mm thick aluminium internal panels.
