Hammond 1590TRPBBK Black Narrow Trapezoid Diecast Aluminum Enclosure

The 1590TRPBBK is the narrow trapezoid enclosure from the 1590TRP-STP series of octagon and trapezoid diecast aluminum enclosures, supplied in a black painted finish (listed on the drawing as the Black Textured Enclosure). Stomp box use is the series' most popular application, so it suits guitar effects pedal builders as well as OEM engineers and experimenters who want an unusual shape for a unique look.

The narrow trapezoid tapers from 79 mm to 62 mm along its 112 mm length, giving an unusual shape for a unique look. Box and lid are diecast aluminum alloy, a rugged material that is tough yet easy to machine.

The standard version ordering table lists 4.41 in (112 mm) length, 2.44 in (62 mm) width at the small end, 3.11 in (79 mm) width at the large end and 1.54 in (39 mm) depth; the part page gives 4.41 in x 3.11 in x 1.38 in (112 mm x 79 mm x 35 mm). The drawing shows 106.29 mm [4.184 in] inside length and 35.20 mm [1.386 in] inside height. Maximum PC board size is 71.66 x 105.29 mm, and the side wall draft angle of 2° or less makes board mounting easy.

Lap joint construction protects against dust and splashing water and the enclosure is designed to meet IP54. Four #6-32 x 1/2" machine screws secure the lid into factory-tapped holes (recommended torque 50-55 cN.m [71-78 ozf.in]); the assembly ships as box, lid and 4 cover screws, shrink wrapped, at 0.37 lbs (0.17 kg). It is RoHS and REACH compliant. The natural counterpart is 1590TRPB, and the watertight version with gasket is 1590WTRPBBK.
