Slimline hand-held enclosures
Released January 26, 2007

The popular 1455 family of extruded aluminium enclosures from Hammond Manufacturing has been extended with the addition of the A and B sizes, slimline units designed to accept one or two circuit boards respectively, mounted horizontally directly into slots in the walls of the unit.  The rounded profile fits comfortably into the hand or pocket and the units are fitted with plastic bezels at each end that incorporate a flat panel area for switches, indicator lights and other front panel furniture.

The units are available in lengths of 3.15" (100mm), the A size is 2.76" (70mm) wide and the B size is 2.82" (71.7mm) in width.  The 0.47" (12mm) high A size, which accepts a single PCB, has flat top and bottom surfaces while the 0.75" (19mm) high B size, provided with two PCB mounting slots, has a recessed area, suitable for a membrane keyboard, on one face.  

The units are available with a clear or black anodised finish; the end bezels are moulded in black polycarbonate as standard with translucent blue and IR transparent translucent red available as optional alternatives.
