Hammond Manufacturing: 1590Z Series Type 4X/6P Diecast Aluminum Enclosures
April 11, 2023
Introducing the 1590Z series Type 4X/6P diecast aluminum enclosures from Hammond Manufacturing.
These rugged electronic instrument enclosures are made of a diecast aluminum alloy (tough, yet easy to machine), and feature a two piece “tongue and groove” construction with a replaceable one-piece silicone rubber gasket which provides protection against access of dust and water. The gasket supplied is loose inside the enclosure, not pre-installed, and has a temperature rating of -40C to +150C.
The 1590Z series enclosures are ideal for repetitive opening and closing, have four recessed stainless steel machine screws to secure the lid into tapped holes, and are easy to wall mount using ‘through box – blind hole’ construction, outside of gasket protection. With four exceptions in this product line, the lid screws are self captivating – meaning the lid holes are threaded with the first installation of the lid screws. (Exceptions are 1590Z060, 1590Z061, 1590Z062, and 1590Z063.)
