The 1591LBU is the blue version of the compact 1591L enclosure, measuring 3.35 x 2.2 x 1.54 in (85 x 56 x 39 mm). It is intended for product designers who want a small, coloured ABS box and lid that holds circuit boards vertically.

Lap joint construction protects against access of dust and splashing water. Keep solvents, thread lockers and cutting fluids away from the plastic, as some chemicals can damage or weaken it.
