Hammond 1590STPCYL Yellow Octagon Painted Diecast Stomp Box

The 1590STPCYL is an octagon-shaped painted diecast aluminum stomp box enclosure in a yellow powder coat matched to RAL 1021. Its 133 mm (5.24 in) length and unusual eight-sided outline give pedal builders and effects experimenters a larger, distinctive housing for multi-control circuits, finished at the factory so it is ready to machine.

Box and lid are diecast aluminum alloy, a tough material that is still easy to machine. The smooth glossy polyester powder coat gives a lasting finish, even after machining, and accepts labels or silk screening easily. The purchased assembly includes the box, lid and 4 cover screws that thread into 6-32 UNC holes; recommended torque is 50-55 cN.m (71-78 ozf.in), or 25-30 cN.m (36-43 ozf.in) with a gasket.

The part page lists the size as 5.23 in x 5.23 in x 1.38 in (133 mm x 133 mm x 35 mm). In the series table the octagon is 5.24 in (133 mm) long, 2.24 in (57 mm) wide at the small end, 5.24 in (133 mm) wide at the large end and 1.54 in (39 mm) deep. The drawing gives 132.78 mm overall, 39.20 mm overall height, and an inside length and width of 126.58 mm with 34.95 mm inside height. Maximum P.C. board dimensions are 125.58 x 125.58 mm. Shipping weight is 0.62 lbs (0.28 kg).

Lap joint construction protects against dust and splashing water, and the part is rated IP54. A liquid resistant version with a silicone gasket is offered separately as 1590WSTPC. The part is RoHS and REACH compliant, ships in shrink wrap, and solid models are available in STEP or IGES.
