Hammond's 1457 range extends the capabilities of the 1455 extruded aluminium family of small enclosures with the addition of IP65 sealed die-cast aluminium end panels, enabling the enclosure to be used in dusty and wet environments.
The end panels are available with or without integral flanges that enable the enclosure to be mounted to an external surface.
The 1457 series is designed to house PCBs, mounted horizontally into internal slots in the body of the case; the series can also be used to house any small electronic, electrical or pneumatic components. The series is available with a clear anodised or textured black painted finish for good resistance to wear and tear. The IP65 sealing is achieved through the use of O-ring screw seals and closed cell polyethylene sealing gaskets.
An initial six sizes are available, ranging from 80 x 59 x 31 mm to 160 x 104 x 55 mm; the largest size will accept a standard 160 x 100 mm Eurocard.
