Hammond has added two new profile sizes to the 1457 IP65 sealed family, which, together with the options for length, gasket and end panel types, has grown the range by 32 new parts. Hammond’s 1457 range extends the capabilities of the 1455 extruded aluminium family of small enclosures with the addition of IP65 sealed die-cast aluminium end panels, enabling the enclosure to be used in dusty and wet environments. The end panels are available with or without integral flanges that enable the enclosure to be mounted to an external surface. The 1457 Series are designed to house PCBs, mounted horizontally into internal slots in the body of the case; they can also be used to house any small electronic, electrical or pneumatic components.
The IP65 sealing is achieved using O-ring screw seals and closed cell polyethylene sealing gaskets. The 1457E versions are fitted with RFI and IP54 end panel gaskets that 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. All types are available with clear anodised or textured black painted finish for good resistance to wear and tear.
Sizes range from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 160 x 104 x 55mm; the larger sizes will accept a standard 160 x 100mm Eurocard.
All units can be supplied factory modified with machining and silk screening to the user’s specification; AutoCAD and PDF dimensioned drawings can be downloaded from hammondmfg.com/1457.htm for the IP65 version and hammondmfg.com/1457EMI_RFI.htm for the RFI versions.
