Key Features
- IP65/IP66/IP67 Protection: Gasketed seams and robust latches ensure dust-tight seals and resistance to water jets or brief immersion.
- Multiple Materials: Choice of PP (chemical- and UV-resistant), PC/ABS (high impact strength and flame-retardant), and nylon (excellent toughness).
- Flame-Retardant Construction: Many are UL94 V0 or V1 rated for electrical safety.
- Modular Design: Available in single-piece bodies or hinged-lid styles; many have knockouts or pre-formed holes for conduit and cable glands.
- UV & Weather Resistant: PC/ABS and nylon versions include UV stabilizers for long outdoor life.
- Thermal Stability: Typically rated for –20°C to +80°C (depending on material).
Benefits
- Environmental Protection: Blocks dust, oil, and high-pressure washdown – ideal for food processing, manufacturing, and outdoor equipment.
- Corrosion-Free: Plastic construction won’t rust; PP/ABS resist acids, alkalis, and solvents (common in chemical plants).
- Flexible Mounting: Easy to add DIN rails, terminal blocks or connectors; often lighter than metal alternatives.
- Cost Efficiency: Generally lower cost than metal enclosures for similar protection, and no need for painting or corrosion upkeep.
Applications
- Control Panels & Automation: Houses PLCs, relays, timers, and wiring in machinery and conveyors.
- Outdoor Electronics: Junction boxes for lighting controls, irrigation systems, or environmental sensors.
- Telecom & Networking: Wall-mounted casings for network devices and CCTV controllers.
- Chemical Processing: Instrumentation enclosures near pumps, tanks and mixers – PP versions resist harsh fluids.
- Food & Beverage: Hygienic enclosures for sensors and valves in washdown areas (stainless hardware, non-toxic plastics).
Technical Specifications
- Materials: PP (with UV & flame retardant grades), PC/ABS blends, or Nylon 6/6 composites.
- Protection Ratings: Meets IEC 60529 IP65/66/67 and NEMA 4X/6 standards.
- Standards Compliance: UL 508A/50, EN 61373 shock/vibration (for some models), RoHS/REACH.
- Mounting Options: DIN-rail backplates, screw bosses, wall flanges.
- Temperature Range: Typically –20°C to +80°C (material-dependent).
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Blended Materials: High-tech PC+ABS blends provide superior strength and UV resistance.
- Versatile Protection: Rated up to IP67 for use in water-prone environments; meet both IEC and NEMA requirements.
- Modularity: Wide selection of sizes and accessories (cable glands, blanking plates) simplifies system integration.
- Flame Safety: Engineered for UL94 standards, ensuring high safety in hazardous zones.
