New ranges of versatile enclosures now available from Rapid Electronics

Rapid Electronics has extended its range of high quality enclosures from Hammond Manufacturing – now available are the new 1550Z series of aluminium sealed boxes, the 1555 series of ABS enclosures and 1590 series of instrument enclosures.

The 1550Z series is a range of thick wall (3 to 4mm depending on size) IP66 aluminium die-cast sealed boxes for use in applications where impact protection and environmental sealing are primary requirements. The 18 industry-standard sizes range from 50 x 45 x 30mm to 223 x 147 x 83mm, supplied in either a natural smooth vibra-finish or a tough black polyester powder coated finish.

Environmental sealing is achieved through a combination of a tongue and groove construction and a pre-formed one-piece silicone rubber gasket; the bases have raised lands to facilitate PCB or component mounting; interior space is maximised with smooth walls and a shallow draught angle. Through-box blind holes are provided outside the sealed area to securely attach the enclosures to a surface if required.

The 1555 series are watertight ABS or polycarbonate enclosures suitable for a wide range of applications. Available in RAL 7035 grey and sizes from 120mm x 66mm x 42mm to 159mm x 91mm x 62mm, the 1555 series feature flanged lids, making mounting easier and offering full IP67 protection against dust and water.

The 1590 series of die-cast aluminium enclosures are designed to be the housings of choice for stomp box or guitar effects pedal manufacturers. The 1590 is a rugged, easy to machine die-cast aluminium enclosure able to cope with the demanding on-stage environment in which they will be used. Available in two sizes, 112 x 60 x 27mm and 119 x 94 x 34mm, they are finished in a smooth gloss polyester powder paint, which does not chip after machining and provides a good surface for labels and silk screening. A lap joint seals the units to IP54, and the painted finish is only applied to the external surfaces, maintaining RFI integrity. The boxes are available in strong and vibrant colours: Cobalt Blue, Green, Light Grey, Orange and Red.
