Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Hammond 1591TSBK made from?

The enclosure is made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).

What does the IP54 rating mean?

IP54 means the enclosure is protected against dust ingress (limited protection) and splashes of water from any direction.

What are the external dimensions of the enclosure?

The external dimensions are 120 mm (length) x 80 mm (width) x 59 mm (height).

Can this enclosure be used outdoors?

While it has an IP54 rating, it is best suited for sheltered outdoor locations and not direct exposure to harsh weather elements like heavy rain or prolonged sunlight.

Does the enclosure come with mounting screws or hardware?

This product description does not specify included mounting hardware. Typically, such enclosures are sold as the case itself, and users provide their own screws for mounting components or the enclosure.

Is the enclosure sealable for a higher IP rating?

The standard 1591TSBK is IP54 rated. Achieving a higher IP rating would require adding gaskets or sealant, which is not an inherent feature of this model.

Can I paint this enclosure?

Yes, ABS plastic can be painted. Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared according to paint manufacturer guidelines for plastics.

Troubleshooting

Enclosure lid does not fit securely.

Check for any debris or obstructions along the lid and base seams. Ensure no internal components are pressing against the lid.

Difficulty drilling or modifying the plastic.

Use sharp drill bits designed for plastic. Drill slowly and steadily to prevent cracking. Consider using a backing material if precision is critical.

Visible scratches or scuffs on the surface.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a plastic polish may be used cautiously, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This enclosure is designed for general use and may require modifications for specific applications. Users can drill holes for ports, buttons, or cable entry using standard tools. The ABS material is relatively easy to machine.

Compatibility:

The 1591TSBK is compatible with a wide range of electronic components. Its primary function is as a protective housing. Ensure your internal components fit within the 120 mm x 80 mm x 59 mm dimensions. It is designed to house static components and internal assemblies.

Care:

To maintain the enclosure's integrity and appearance:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the ABS plastic.
  2. Environment: While IP54 rated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals.
  3. Modification: If drilling or cutting, ensure all dust is cleared from the interior before installing components. Use appropriate safety gear during modifications.
