Hammond 1553DTBUBK 147x89x25mm Translucent Blue Handheld Enclosure

The 1553DTBUBK is the translucent blue size D handheld enclosure in the 1553 Series, with a translucent blue ABS body and a black soft-sided overmold. The translucent case gives handheld products a distinctive look and suits designs where internal indicators or components are meant to show through the housing.

The body is molded from general purpose ABS plastic with a UL94 HB flame rating and a soft plastic overmold for a comfortable grip. The top cover is recessed to take a membrane display or keypad, and PC board standoffs are molded into the case so the board aligns on the PCB bosses. As a single end panel version without a battery door, it is rated IP54.

Overall dimensions are 147 mm long, 89 mm wide and 25 mm deep (5.79 x 3.50 x 0.98 in); the nominal listed size is 5.8 x 3.5 x 0.98 in. The inner box is 140.24 mm long with an inner height of 19.50 mm, and the ordering table gives a maximum PC board of 139 mm x 74 mm (5.47 x 2.91 in).

The 1553DTBUBK is supplied with the top, bottom, removable front plastic panel and 4 cover screws; the PC board is not supplied. Non-grey 1553 enclosures use black screws. The replacement lid screw pack is 1593QS100BK, and the recommended cover screw torque is 2.5 lbf-in (30 cN-m). PC board mounting screws are ordered separately as 1593ATS50 or 1593ATS100.
