Hammond 1590WFBK 188x188x67mm Black IP65 Square Diecast Enclosure

The 1590WFBK 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. The textured black finish is a tough polyester powder paint that gives a lasting finish even after machining, and black screws are included to match.

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 1590WMS100BK liquid resistant screws with O-ring. The 1590WFBK is RoHS and REACH compliant, ships shrink wrapped and weighs 1.9 lbs (0.86 kg).
