JPR Electronics has announced an IP65 sealed version of the 1553 handheld enclosure family from Hammond Electronics.The soft-sided 1553W enclosures are suited for applications including instrument or mobile data enclosures requiring a keypad and display, particularly when repetitive assembly and disassembly are required.

The 1553W has an ergonometric curved shape that fits comfortably into the hand and the top cover is recessed to allow a membrane keypad to be flush mounted. An integral end panel forms part of the top cover providing an easy to machine area for cable entry, switches and indicators. PCB standoffs are provided in the top and base for mounting

Available in three sizes, 117 x 79 x 25mm, 117 x 79 x 32mm and 147 x 90 x 25mm, all models are moulded in UL94-V0 flame retardant ABS in RAL 7035 light grey or RAL 9011 black, both over-moulded with RAL 7012 grey soft side grips.

To reduce time to market and modification costs, all 1553W enclosures are available factory modified with machining and silk screening to the end customers’ requirements. To assist with the design process, AutoCAD and PDF dimensioned drawings can be downloaded from Hammond Electronics’ website.
