Hammond RH3045 160mm Light Grey IP65 Gasketed Hand-Held Enclosure

The RH3045 is the light grey, gasketed hand-held enclosure in the larger 160 mm RH Series body, rated IP65. Measuring 6.3 x 3.3 x 1.2 in (160 x 84 x 30 mm) on its part page, it gives OEM engineers and product designers a sealed, battery-door housing with room for a larger printed circuit board than the 130 mm models.

The RH3045 is molded in a general purpose ABS plastic that carries a UL flammability rating of UL94 HB. It is ergonomically designed for a comfortable fit in the user's hand, and the top half has a smooth recessed area for membranes, keypads and labels. Both halves contain molded PC board standoffs that accept M2.6 self-tapping screws.

The gasketed version has a factory-installed gasket around the top and bottom halves and around the battery door, and two O-rings are supplied for the battery door screws. Lap joint construction adds protection against dust accumulation and splashing water.

The series table lists 160 x 85 x 31 mm, and the drawing shows 160.00 x 85.00 x 30.80 mm overall. Boards up to 94.27 x 78.57 mm fit on the molded standoffs. The purchased assembly includes box, lid, 4 PCB screws, gasket, 2 O-rings, 2 battery door screws, the battery door and 4 lid screws. It is assembled with M3 Philips self-tapping screws at a recommended torque of (43-50) ozf.in / (30-35) cN.m. Listed accessories include the RH304 gasket set, SC621-50 M3 x 25 mm cover screws, SC615-50 battery door screws, SC519-50 PCB screws and the CP-001 nylon belt clip kit. The black version is the RH3045BK.

The enclosure can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing) and solid models are available in .stp or .x_t. It is RoHS and REACH compliant. Some chemicals, such as acetone, ketones and thread locking compounds, can damage or weaken the plastic.
