Hammond 1553DPLGY-10 Gray 1553D Replacement End Panels, 10-Pack

The 1553DPLGY-10 is a pack of 10 light gray end panels for size D enclosures in the 1553 Series of soft-sided handheld cases. Integrators and product builders use extra end panels to hold spares, to rework cut-outs without replacing the whole enclosure, or to prepare machined panels for a production run.

Each panel is molded from ABS plastic in light gray. Each measures 2.83 x 0.78 x 0.1 in (72 x 20 x 3 mm). The series ordering table lists five colours of 1553D end panel 10-packs: black 1553DPLBK-10, gray 1553DPLGY-10, red 1553DPLRD-10, translucent blue 1553DPLTBU-10 and yellow 1553DPLYL-10.

1553 size D enclosures ship with a removable front panel, so a spare panel can be drilled or cut for switches, connectors, cable entries or indicators while the original is kept intact. Light gray panels suit grey-bodied 1553D enclosures.

When machining the panels, note that some chemicals can damage or weaken ABS plastic. The manufacturer advises against acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, thread-locking compounds, and cutting or tapping fluid, and recommends using an air blast to clear chips away when making modifications.

The 1553DPLGY-10 is RoHS and REACH compliant, with a shipping weight of 0.06 lbs (0.03 kg).
