Introducing the range of RS PRO Flanged General Purpose ABS Enclosures. This enclosure is a high-quality and high-frequency unit and is ideal for shielding electronic equipment. The flanged design makes it easier for the enclosure to be securely mounted where required, without compromising the protection it gives. It is suitable for a range of other applications and has an IP rating of IP54 making it a great unit for basic protection.

• The enclosure lid and base are moulded in durable and high-strength ABS with flanges for secure positioning when being mounted to a wall
• The solid ABS material reduces noise and the IP54 rating means it’s a useful unit that keeps dust and debris out
• By adding a gasket between the lid and base, the IP rating increases to IP65 which protects the enclosure from water
• The brass inserts in the base allow for repeated removal of the lid and for long-term durability and frequent use
• Excellent properties for machining
• PCB Adaptors can be used for when horizontal PCB mounting is required, adding extra flexibility of use
• The integral mounting guides accept 1.6mm PCB's
• The general-purpose enclosure lid is mounted by four M3 machine screws
• Polished finish for easy cleaning and keeping the surface dust and debris free
• Size 210 x 112 x 61mm

General purpose enclosures are units that are designed to accommodate a wide variety of items for secure and safe storage. They are often used for the protection of electronics equipment and often are compliant to IP, fire resistance and corrosion-resistant, dependant on what is being stored and where it is being stored. These enclosures are such versatile units, they can be used for practically any storage application, they can be wall-mounted if needed and they can be made from a wide variety of materials like aluminium, ABS, fibreglass and much more.

Most common applications include:

• Installation terminals
• Electronic components
• Mechanical engineering
• Food industry
• Chemical industry
• Industrial and manufacturing environments

• Base and Lid of the Enclosure
• 4x M3 Machine Screws for assembly

An IP rating classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact and water in electrical enclosures. The first number indicates the protection from solids and the second number is the protection from liquids.

This enclosure has an IP54 rating so only protected from water spray, so this product is not recommended for outside use.

If the gasket accessory is used, the IP rating increases to IP65 which can protect against water ingress, making it more suitable for use outside.
