Hammond RL6065BK 206x106x40mm Black Deep Lid ABS Project Box

The RL6065BK is a black deep-lid ABS project enclosure from the RL Series, designed to house PC boards for handheld use. At 206 x 106 x 40 mm in the series ordering table, it is the longest deep-lid size, taking boards up to 197.4 mm long. Electronics designers, OEM engineers and integrators use it for handheld instruments, remotes and keypad-driven devices.

It is molded in general purpose ABS plastic carrying a UL94 HB flammability rating. Construction is a two-part, snap action clam shell, and both halves include a smooth recessed area for membranes, keypads or labels. PC board standoffs are molded into both the top and bottom half, and the enclosure is designed to meet IP54.

The part page gives a nominal size of 8.07 in x 4.13 in x 1.57 in (205 mm x 105 mm x 40 mm), while the drawing shows 206.00 mm [8.11 in] x 106.00 mm [4.17 in] x 40.00 mm [1.57 in] overall, with inside dimensions of 198.40 mm [7.81 in] long, 98.40 mm [3.87 in] wide and 34.00 mm [1.34 in] high.

Each RL6065BK includes the box, lid, four M3 lid screws and four short M3 PC board screws; all bosses accept M3 self-tapping screws and the recommended torque is (43-50) Ozf.in / (30-35) cN.m. For replacements order SC617-50 (M3 x 25 mm lid screws, 50 pkg) or SC622-50 (M3 x 6 mm PCB screws, 50 pkg). It is RoHS and REACH compliant; the light grey version is RL6065.

Hammond can factory modify these enclosures (milling, drilling, printing) and offers solid models in .stp or .x_t. Avoid acetone, thread-locking compounds, cutting fluid and strong solvents, which can damage or weaken ABS.
