Hammond 1596B113-10 10-Pack 40 mm Square Black ABS Potting Boxes

The 1596B113-10 is a ten-pack of square black potting boxes with a 1.57 in x 1.57 in (40 mm x 40 mm) footprint. It is intended for production and service teams that pot the same board or component in quantity and want a consistent open shell for each unit.

Each box is one piece molded with no lid and is designed for potting box applications. The material is black general purpose ABS plastic with a UL94 HB flame rating and a smooth finish. The drawing shows a 1.00 mm (0.039 in) wall, and the series is temperature rated from -20 ºC to +94 ºC (-4 ºF to 201.2 ºF).

On depth, the data sources differ slightly: the part page lists 1.57 in x 1.57 in x 1.15 in (40 mm x 40 mm x 29 mm), the ordering table gives 1.18 in (30 mm), and the drawing dimension is 30.10 mm (1.185 in). Check the drawing when a component height is close to the limit.

The pack ships in a bag with a listed shipping weight of 0.22 lbs (0.10 kg) and carries UPC 623980483535. Single boxes are available as 1596B113 and bulk packing as 1596B113-BULK. The 1596B113-10 is REACH and RoHS compliant. Keep acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, thread lockers, cutting fluid and strong solvents away from the boxes, as the manufacturer notes they can damage the plastic.
