Hammond 1550WE 171x121x55 mm Natural Watertight Diecast Aluminum Box

The 1550WE is a natural-finish watertight diecast aluminum enclosure from the 1550 Series, measuring 6.73 in (171 mm) x 4.76 in (121 mm) x 2.17 in (55 mm) including the lid. It is supplied with an IP66 EVA foam gasket and is rated IP66, making it a practical housing for electronics builders, OEM engineers and integrators whose circuits face dust and water.

The 1550E size offers a 171 x 121 mm footprint at 55 mm overall height; it shares its footprint and gasket kits with the 105 mm tall 1550F. Per the drawing, the inside box measures 164.46 mm [6.47 in] long by 114.46 mm [4.51 in] wide with 51.10 mm [2.01 in] of inside height, and the box stands 51.00 mm [2.01 in] tall without the 4 mm lid.

The rugged die-cast alloy is tough yet easy to machine. It has a natural vibra finish, which leaves a smooth plain-aluminum surface with no sharp edges. Walls have no internal ribs, so connectors fit without interference or extra milling, and the low side wall draft angle (2° less) makes PC board mounting easier. The lid is secured by M3.5 x 0.6 x 12 mm stainless steel Phillips head screws into factory tapped holes.

The EVA foam gasket ships loose inside the enclosure and is rated up to 65°C (149°F); installed properly with the lid screws torqued at 55 cN.m the 1550WE is designed to meet IP66. Spares are 1550EEGASKET (IP66) and the silicone IP67 upgrade is 1550ESGASKET. The same size without a gasket is 1550E (natural) or 1550EBK (black).

RoHS and REACH compliant, shipped in shrink wrap at 0.88 lbs (0.40 kg). UPC 623980057446, UNSPSC 39121301. Solid models are available in .stp or .x_t, and the enclosure can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing).
