Hammond 1457K1601 160x84x44mm IP65 Extruded Aluminum Enclosure, Clear

The 1457K1601 extends the tall K profile to a 160 mm length, giving an 84 mm wide, 44 mm high extruded aluminum enclosure designed to meet IP65. It is intended for engineers and integrators housing a PC board up to 159 x 79 mm that carries taller components such as connectors, relays or terminal blocks, in a free-standing case with plain end panels.

The extrusion has a clear anodized finish and is paired with black powder painted end panels. The body is a single piece of 6063 extruded aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.06" (1.5 mm), while the end panels are Type 380 Diecast Aluminum - rugged yet easy to machine for cable entries, connectors or controls. A 0.75 mm (.030") deep recess on the body is provided for labels or a membrane keypad. If you need a black body instead, order 1457K1601BK.

Nominal size is 6.3 in x 3.3 in x 1.73 in (160 mm x 84 mm x 44 mm). On the drawing the assembled length with end panels is 170.80 mm [6.724 in], the end panels measure 87.00 mm [3.425 in] wide by 47.11 mm [1.855 in] high, the extrusion is 44.11 mm [1.737 in] high and the inside face-to-face dimension is 160.00 ±0.50 mm [6.299 ±0.020 in]. PC boards mount horizontally by sliding into internal slots; the drawing states it fits a 160mm (6.299") X 80mm (3.149") PCB and the part page gives a maximum board of 159 mm x 79 mm. Flat end panels suit bench or free-standing use; the flanged equivalent is 1457K1602.

Each assembly includes the box, two end panels, two closed-cell polyethylene foam end plate gaskets, #6 Taptight stainless steel screws with rubber O-rings and self-adhesive rubber feet. The thread-forming screws are black zinc plated for corrosion protection to ASTM B633-13, with a recommended torque of 5 lbf/in; replacement screws come in packs of 100 as 1457MS100. The part is REACH and RoHS compliant, and ships shrink wrapped at 0.61 lbs (0.28 kg).
