Introducing ABS plastic instrument enclosures from RS PRO, a range of lightweight yet highly durable instrument enclosures ideal for housing and protecting electrical components in a range of applications. The enclosures are manufactured from ABS offering high strength and corrosion resistance, with integral moulded standoffs for easy installation of PCB and electrical components. The instrument cases feature a two-part clam shell construction allowing for easy assembly, with interchangeable front and rear panels allowing for modifications. The enclosures feature a tongue and groove construction designed to meet IP43 standards, ensuring internal components are protected from dust and moisture ingress.

Instrument cases or enclosures are a type of protective box used to house and protect a range of electrical components such as wires and PCB (printed circuit boards) and are available in a range of sizes and materials such as ABS, aluminium, steel and more. Instrument cases often feature integral moulded standoffs for easy installation of PCB and can feature removable panels for easy customisation. Instrument cases are ideal for applications such as:

• Entertainment


• Security


• Test and measurement


• Research


• Engineering

No, these enclosures are not waterproof and should not be used for outdoor applications.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a low cost type of thermoplastic polymer that is highly durable and features a high resistance to chemical corrosion in its solid state. It has a low melting point allowing it to be moulded and shaped accordingly, making it a very versatile material. ABS plastic also features scratch resistance, high shock absorbance and high tensile strength.
