Hammond 1553TPLBK-10 Black 1553T Replacement End Panels, 10-Pack

The 1553TPLBK-10 supplies ten black plastic end panels for the 1553T size of the 1553T hand-held "T" soft side enclosure series. The series explains that these enclosures contain either one or two end panels depending on version, and that the panels are removable for easy modification, so a spare pack lets you drill, cut or label panels for connectors and switches without touching the enclosure itself.

The panels are molded from ABS plastic in black. The part page lists a size of 1.97 x 0.89 x 0.11 in (50 x 23 x 3 mm). The pack ships in a bag with a shipping weight of 0.2 lbs (0.09 kg) and is RoHS and REACH compliant.

Per the series table, standard 1553T enclosures (1553TBK and 1553TGY) have removable top and bottom end panels, while the 1553T battery versions have a removable top end panel only. That makes the 1553TPLBK-10 useful both for prototyping new end-panel layouts and for production runs where each unit gets a machined panel.

The grey equivalent for the same size is 1553TPLGY-10, and the matching black battery door 5-pack is 53TBATDOORBK-5. The series notes that some chemicals can damage or weaken plastic; avoid cutting or tapping fluid when modifying panels and use an air blast to clear chips, as the chemical resistance statement recommends.
