Hammond 1456RH3BKBU 17 in 15° Sloped Aluminum Console, Black Top/Blue Case

The Hammond 1456RH3BKBU is a sloped aluminum instrument console from the 1456 Series, supplied with a black top panel on a textured blue case. It is built for electronics designers, OEM engineers and integrators who need a desktop housing with an angled front panel for switches, displays, meters and controls.

The 1456RH3 body is the shallowest 17-inch-wide 15-degree console in this group: 8.3 in (211 mm) deep, rising from a 1.30 in (33 mm) front edge to a 3.00 in (76 mm) rear, so it fits on a crowded bench or desk while still tilting the top panel toward the operator.

Both the case and the top panel are made from 12 gauge (0.081 in / 2 mm) aluminum. This version pairs a black top panel with the series' textured blue case, the combination listed as "Black Top / Blue Case" on the drawing. The 1456RH3BKBU is rated IP31, is RoHS and REACH compliant, and ships shrink-wrapped at 3.55 lbs (1.61 kg). Overall dimensions on the manufacturer drawing are 434.82 mm [17.12 in] wide, 218.67 mm [8.61 in] deep and 81.43 mm [3.21 in] high.

The console is sold pre-assembled: the purchased assembly includes the case, the cover, six cover screws and four self-adhesive rubber feet. The recommended cover-screw torque is 150-175 cN-m (13.3-15.5 lbf-in). Replacement 6-32 x 1/4 in self-tapping cover screws are available as 1421J6 (natural finish, pack of 6) or 1421J6BK (black, pack of 6), and spare 0.5 x 0.5 in self-adhesive rubber feet as 1421T3 (pack of 24).

Enclosures can be factory modified with milling, drilling and printing, and solid models are available in STEP or IGES for layout work. The same 1456RH3 size is also offered as 1456RH3WHBU and 1456RH3BKBK in the other top and case colour combinations.
