Secure surface mounting

Hammond has introduced the IP68 1550ZF range. These are flanged versions of all 18 sizes in the established 1550Z rugged, thick wall, heavy duty, die-cast enclosure family. The full-size flange is spot-welded to the base to give a strong and smooth mounting plate for use when units are secured to a surface. 

 

The 18 sizes range from 50 by 45 by 30 mm to 223 by 147 by 83 mm, with the lids thickness ranging from five to 33 mm in depth depending on the size. The tongue and groove design and a pre-formed one-piece silicone rubber gasket gives IP68 environmental protection so the enclosures suit installation in dusty and wet environments.

 

The enclosures are UL and cUL Listed and have been independently tested to IP66, IP67 and IP68. They are also rated to NEMA Type 4, 4X, 12 and 13. All sizes except the smallest have an impact rating of IK08, defined in IEC 62262 as the equivalent to the impact of a 1.7kg mass dropped from 300 mm above the impacted surface.
