Hammond 1457C801E 80 x 59mm EMI/RFI Shielded Aluminum Enclosure, Clear

The 1457C801E is an EMI/RFI shielded extruded aluminum enclosure from the 1457-EMI Series, measuring 3.15 in x 2.32 in x 1.21 in (80 mm x 59 mm x 31 mm). It is aimed at design engineers who need to house a PC board in a metal case with conductive seals at the ends to control electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The body is clear anodized, while the end panels are black.

The body is a single aluminum extrusion with a minimum wall of 1.5 mm (0.06”), and boards slide horizontally into slots extruded into its sides. Maximum board size is 79 x 54.5 mm per the part data (80.00 x 55.00 mm in the series table). The drawing shows 89.40 mm [3.520 in] overall length with end panels, an inside face-to-face dimension of 80.00 ±0.50 mm, and states it fits an 80mm (3.149") X 55.0mm (2.165") PCB.

Each diecast aluminum end panel is painted in black satin powder paint and sealed with a full-perimeter conductive foam/fabric gasket made of Ni/Cu (nickel/copper) with CPSA (conductive pressure sensitive adhesive). The enclosure is rated IP54; the series notes these gaskets are not water-tight. Stainless steel hardware with rubber o-rings, adhesive rubber feet and black zinc plated screws (ASTM B633-13 Type II, SC3) are included; recommended torque is 5 lbf/in.

1457C801E has flat end panels without flanges and stands on the adhesive rubber feet supplied with the hardware. Where wall mounting is needed, choose 1457C802E, which has integrated flanges, or fit the 1457CEPF flanged EMI end panel kit.

At 80 mm long and 59 mm wide, this is the most compact size in the 1457-EMI range, suited to small interface or sensor boards.

Shipping weight is 0.24 lbs (0.11 kg), shrink wrapped. The part is RoHS and REACH compliant, and enclosures can be factory modified by milling, drilling or printing.
