Hammond adds flat base model to extruded aluminium enclosures
Designed for surface mounting, the 1455F flanged extruded aluminium enclosure has been added to the 1455 standard family by Hammond Electronics.
The 1455F flanged, extruded aluminium enclosures feature a new extrusion that has a flat base with integral mounting flanges. The flanges, which extend beyond the body of the unit, have four notches to accept securing screws for mounting the units to a flat surface such as a wall, bulkhead or machine.
The 1455F is available in two sizes, 80 x 54 x 23mm and 120 x 54 x 23mm. The overall width is 77mm, including the two mounting flanges. They are initially available in clear and black anodised finishes. Additional sizes will be released over the coming months, says Hammond.
The two launch sizes are designed to accept 50mm wide, 1.6mm thick PCBs that are either 80 or 120mm in length. There are two removable aluminium end panels, which are flat for easy machining for I/O components, advises Hammond. The design accommodates a PCB mounted into horizontal slots in the body of the enclosure; four alternative vertical positions are available.
The addition of the 1455F extends the 1455 family to 29 members, ranging in size from 60 x 45 x 25mm to 220 x 165 x 52mm. Other standard variants include the IP65 sealed 1457, the screened 1457-EMI version and the 1455HD thermally efficient units.
Hammond manufactures small plastic, die-cast and metal enclosures for use in the electronics, industrial and electrical industries.
