Profile housing made of extruded aluminum

In addition to the general-purpose 1455 Series, Hammond manufactures 3 special variants of extruded aluminum enclosures: the waterproof 1457 is sealed to IP65; the 1457-EMI offers increased EMC capability for use in electrically noisy environments; and the 1455HD offers improved heat dissipation for high-power applications. They all share a number of features with the 1455 series: they are designed to accommodate single or multiple PCBs mounted horizontally in the internal slots of the enclosure and are also suitable for housing small electronic, electrical or pneumatic systems or components.

The 1455 series has also been extended to include square profiles, which offer a much greater height for mounting multiple PCBs for distributed subsystems and/or larger electrical and electromechanical components. Another addition to the 1455 series is the 1455F, which features a completely new profile with a flat base and integrated mounting flanges that protrude above the housing to facilitate mounting.

1457 Series

For applications requiring protection against dust and water, the 1457 series is designed for IP65 protection. It is available in 15 sizes from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 280 x 191 x 68mm, with a clear or black finish. The end plates are made of die-cast aluminum and are available with or without a flange for mounting the housing. A self-adhesive seal ensures IP65 protection.

Main features

1457 EMI series

For applications requiring EMC, the 1457-EMI series is available in 15 sizes from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 280 x 191 x 68mm, with clear anodized or black satin powder coating. The end plates are made of die-cast aluminum and have a satin black powder-coated finish on the outside. They are available with or without a flange for mounting the housing. An all-round conductive foam/fabric seal made of Ni/Cu (nickel/copper) and CPSA (conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive) ensure electrical continuity through the housing.

Main features

15 sizes: 80 x 59 x 31mm to 280 x 191 x 68mm

1455HD Series

The 1455HD series has additional surfaces that enable higher heat dissipation compared to the standard 1455. It was developed for applications where high thermal loads are generated by the devices housed. It is available in 4 sizes from 120 x 86 x 51mm to 160 x 111 x 61mm. Full length slide-in fans allow for easy installation.

Main features

4 sizes: 120 x 86 x 51mm to 160 x 111 x 61mm
Clear or black anodized housing and end plates
Removable mounting flanges
Horizontally integrated slots for inserting PCBs

1455F Series

Extruded aluminum construction with integrated flanges.

Main features

6 sizes: 80 x 54 x 23mm to 160 x 103 x 53mm
2 removable aluminum end plates
Available in clear or black anodized version
4 alternative horizontal mounting positions for the PCBs
For holding 50 mm wide and 1.6 mm thick PCBs in lengths of up to 80 or 120 mm

1455 Series

Standard series with aluminum or plastic end plates

Main features

38 sizes: 60 x 45 x 23mm to 280 x 191 x 66mm
Available in the standard colors clear, black, blue or red anodized
Aluminum or plastic end plates
Horizontally integrated slots for inserting PCBs

Modifying and/or printing on housings

Standard enclosures are great, but they need to be configured for your application.
