Extruded aluminium enclosures with integral heat sink

News Release from: Hammond Electronics Ltd
06/10/2006

Following the acquisition of the West Hyde small enclosures business when it ceased trading, Hammond Electronics has re-introduced the seven-strong Sink Box range of extruded aluminium cases, designed for the horizontal mounting of PCBs or chassis. The four larger sizes are designed for the direct horizontal housing of 3U Eurocards, either 160, 220 or 280mm deep.

The cards or chassis can be mounted directly into slots in the sides of the enclosure or, for heavier components or assemblies, three "T" mounting slots, one in the top and two in the base, are provided. A further two T slots are provided in the base to enable the enclosure to be fixed to wall brackets, a belt loop or another enclosure.

The top of the units have heat sink fins across the entire surface to assist with heat dissipation; both aluminium end panels are removable with plastic bezels which can be fitted or discarded as required. The units are supplied in natural or black anodised finish. Drawings in PDF and AutoCAD format can be downloaded from www.hammondmfg.com.
