Low cost flame retardant ABS IP54 fan filters Released 27 September 2000 Hammond Electronics has introduced a range of low cost, easy to fit IP54 filter assemblies, suitable for use in conjunction with 80 and 120mm fans or as stand-alone exhaust filters. The filters extend beyond the aperture in the panel, enabling slight imperfections in the cut-out to be hidden, saving rework time during assembly. The IP54 filters enable forced ventilation to be provided for the cabinet while preserving the environmental sealing of the unit, excluding harmful dust and moisture. Available in black, grey and beige, the filters are two-part assemblies with the filter element accessible for cleaning or replacement from the outside by simply releasing the outer cover from the inner frame. The inner cover, which incorporates an extruded gasket to seal to the enclosure wall, is secured using the fan's normal fixings. *** Ends: 132 words *** Notes to Editors.
