Extended range of miniature IP54 enclosures
Released 13 January 2006

Hammond Manufacturing has introduced new sizes and options into its 1551 family of miniature general purpose ABS enclosures.  Shallower versions of the existing rectangular version have been developed, three new square sizes, 35 x 35mm, 40 x 40mm and 50 x 50mm in two heights have been added and flanged lids are now available for all sizes of enclosure as an alternative to the original plain lids.  The 54-strong family provides a strong, lightweight housing, ideal for applications such as remote controllers and other small devices.

Each size is now available with a plain or flanged lid, in heights of 15 and 20mm, moulded in black or grey ABS; additionally, all rectangular enclosures are available with or without a key ring.  All units are fitted with two internal mounting posts at opposing corners for direct PCB fixing.  

The enclosures use a lap joint construction to provide protection to IP54; the lids are fitted with two screws, reducing assembly time.  The flanged lids enable the unit to be secured to a suitable surface and give an improved level of security by preventing access to the interior without demounting the enclosure.
