Hammond 1590WF 188x188x67mm Natural IP65 Square Diecast Enclosure

The 1590WF is the water-tight version of the 1590F, a square diecast aluminum enclosure measuring 7.4 in x 7.4 in x 2.64 in (188 mm x 188 mm x 67 mm). It has no mounting flanges, giving a plain square box. The wide, low profile suits OEM engineers and integrators housing larger PC boards and instrument electronics that must be protected from dust and splashing water.

Box and lid are die-cast aluminum alloy, tough yet easy to machine, and meet in a lap joint. This water-tight version is designed to meet IP65 and includes a silicone gasket supplied loose inside the enclosure, not pre-installed. This natural version is unpainted and vibra finished, leaving a smooth aluminum surface with no sharp edges.

Maximum P.C. board size is listed as 174.91 mm x 174.91 mm. The drawing shows an inside width of 178.50 mm [7.027 in] and an inside height of 62.00 mm [2.441 in]. Side walls have a draft angle of 2° or less for easy board mounting, and the lid is 0.16" (4 mm) high.

The 1590F size is one of the few in the series secured by eight cover screws, supplied threaded into factory-tapped holes and taking 6-32 x 1/2" screws. Recommended torque is 50-55 cN.m [71-78 ozf.in], or 25-30 cN.m [36-43 ozf.in] with the gasket. Optional items include the 1590FGASKET replacement gasket kit and 1590WMS100 liquid resistant screws with O-ring. The 1590WF is RoHS and REACH compliant, ships shrink wrapped and weighs 1.88 lbs (0.85 kg).
