Plastic enclosures

The 1591 range of small plastic enclosures is now available with flanged lids, providing an easy method of securing the unit to walls or bulkheads.

Manufactured in black flame retardant ABS or low cost polystyrene, the 1591 range is manufactured in 13 sizes, ranging from 85 x 56 x 35 mm to 120 x 120 x 90 mm.

The flanged lid extends beyond the periphery of the enclosure body to provide two mounting flanges complete with four countersunk holes. The equipment is mounted inside the enclosure in the usual way and the lid is attached using the normal four securing screws; the flanges are then used to fix the enclosure in place.

The unit cannot be opened unless it is removed from the wall, improving security and preventing casual tampering.

Alternatively, if access is required to the housed equipment, the 1591 can be factory-fitted with a pair of flanges on the base instead of having a flanged lid. When the separate flanges are used, the lid is accessible without having to remove the enclosure from its mounting.

The 1591 range has PCB mounting slots moulded into the base section, enabling 1.6 mm thick PCBs to be mounted vertically. An adapter kit can be fitted to allow the PCBs to be mounted horizontally if required.
