The 1455L1601BK is a black anodized extruded aluminum PC board enclosure from the 1455 Series with aluminum (metal) end panels. At 160 mm long on the 103 mm wide by 30.5 mm deep 1455L profile, it is a longer 1455L housing with room for a 159 mm long board. It is aimed at OEM engineers, electronics designers and integrators who need to house PC boards or build equipment-interfacing hardware.

The body is extruded aluminum with a minimum wall thickness of 0.06 in (1.5 mm), finished in black anodized. PC boards mount horizontally by sliding into internal slots extruded into the body; the drawing notes the extrusion is designed for a 100 mm wide PC board, with a slot width of 100.00 +/-0.51 mm. This part accepts a board up to 159 mm long and 99 mm wide. The 1455L sizes include a removable sliding plate.
