RFI capability added to 1457 heavy duty watertight enclosures
Released May 2009

Hammond Electronics has extended the capabilities of the 1457 extruded aluminium family of small enclosures with the introduction of RFI screened IP54 environmentally sealed versions. The 1457 E Series is designed to house PCBs, directly mounted horizontally into internal slots extruded in the case body; the units can also be used to house any small electronic, electrical or pneumatic components. Available externally finished with clear anodised or textured black painted finish for good resistance to wear and tear, the RFI and IP54 end panel gaskets provide electro-magnetic attenuation and water and dust protection for the electronics, making the enclosures suitable for use in both electrically noisy and environmentally difficult conditions. The end panels are available with or without integral flanges that enable the enclosure to be mounted to an external surface without having to break the integrity of the environmental and electrical screening.

The 1457 is available in six sizes, ranging from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 160 x 104 x 55mm; the largest size will accept a standard 160 x 100mm Eurocard.
