Constructed from a polycarbonate plastic infused with 10% fibreglass to enhance strength and impact resistance, the PTQ series enclosure has been announced by Bud Industries. The enclosure is an IP67, NEMA 4 and NEMA 6 rated box with latching lid. The video below shows a PTQ enclosure being driven over by a car to demonstrate its superior strength.

This NEMA rated enclosure protects electrical and electronic designs in many applications including on the factory floor where equipment washdowns are common, outdoors in dusty and corrosive environments and even where there is a risk of temporary submersion. The enclosure is well suited for housing machine controls, WiFi and radio equipment, lighting and access controls.

The new enclosure is available in 10 sizes ranging from 15.01x15.01x8.48 to 62.99x53.01x25.50cm (5.91x5.91x3.34 to 24.8x20.87x10.04") and features a hinged latching lid or a clear polycarbonate lid. The optional clear lid allows inspection without opening the box and indication without adding cutouts. Included stainless steel latches and continuous gasket ensure reliable performance.

The PTQ series enclosure is available from stock at prices starting around $15.50 with discounts for quantity orders. Options include a steel or plastic internal panel and external mounting brackets. The enclosure ships fully assembled.
