The Hammond 1457U2801BK is a heavy-duty, watertight extruded aluminium enclosure engineered for professionals and hobbyists looking to securely house and protect PCBs and delicate electronic components. Its rugged construction provides exceptional durability in demanding environments, though users should note that the internal mounting relies on pre-extruded slots, which requires board sizing that matches the enclosure's internal dimensions.

This enclosure is designed to meet IP65 standards when correctly assembled with the provided gaskets.
The base unit is designed for tabletop or portable use. For wall mounting, consider using separate mounting brackets or specific flange versions if applicable.
The end panels are made of durable diecast aluminium, finished in a black satin powder coat.
While the aluminium provides basic shielding, this specific model is focused on physical durability. For advanced EMI requirements, look into EMI-specific variants from the 1457 series.
The external dimensions are approximately 279mm in length, 191mm in width, and 66mm in height.
Yes, the aluminium body and diecast end panels are easy to machine, drill, or customize to accommodate ports, switches, or cable glands.
Check the PCB edges for burrs or excess solder and verify the board width matches the internal channel width.
Verify that the gaskets are properly seated in the grooves and ensure no cables are pinched between the end panel and the body.
Inspect the foam gaskets for wear or damage and ensure the end panel screws are tightened evenly.
To begin setup, slide your PCB through the internal channels from the rear or front open end. Ensure the board width aligns with the extrusion slots. Once the board is seated, attach the diecast end panels using the provided mounting points. When installing the gaskets, ensure the surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain the IP65 seal. For care, wipe the aluminium surface with a non-abrasive, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the black satin powder finish or the integrity of the polyethylene gaskets over time. If you need to machine the aluminium panels to add connectors or ports, ensure you use proper tooling for aluminium to avoid fracturing the diecast material.
