Profile enclosures made from extruded aluminium add greater functionality to the standard series.

In addition to the general purpose 1455 Series, Hammond manufactures 3 specialised variants of extruded aluminium enclosures: the watertight 1457 is sealed to IP65; the 1457-EMI provides increased EMC capability for use in electrically noisy environments and the 1455HD gives enhanced heat removal for high power applications. They all share a number of common features with the 1455 series: they are designed to house single or multiple PCBs, mounted horizontally into internal slots in the enclosure, and they are also suitable for housing any small electronic, electrical or pneumatic systems or components.

The 1455 Series has also been extended with the addition of square profiles that give much greater height for mounting multiple PCBs for distributed sub-systems and/or larger electrical and electro-mechanical components. Another extension to the 1455's capability is the 1455F that features a completely new extrusion with a flat base with integral mounting flanges that protrude over the enclosure, to facilitate mounting.

1457 series

For applications requiring protection against dust and water, the 1457 range is designed to meet IP65. It is available in in 15 sizes from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 280 x 191 x 68mm, with a clear or black finish. The end panels are die-cast aluminium, available with or without a flange for mounting the enclosure to a surface. A self-adhesive gasket provides the IP65 sealing.

Key features

1457 EMI series

For applications needing EMC capability, the 1457-EMI range is available in in 15 sizes from 80 x 59 x 31mm to 280 x 191 x 68mm, with a clear anodised or black satin powder coat finish. The end panels are die-cast aluminium, finished in black satin powder coat on the external faces. They are available with or without a flange for mounting the enclosure. A full perimeter conductive foam/fabric Ni/Cu (nickel/copper) gasket and CPSA (conductive pressure sensitive adhesive) ensure electrical continuity through the enclosure.

1455HD series

The 1455HD family features additional surface area in the extrusion to provide increased heat dissipation compared with the standard 1455. It is designed for applications where high thermal loads are generated by the housed equipment. It is available in 4 sizes from 120 x 86 x 51mm to 160 x 111 x 61mm. Full length flanges enable the unit to be mounted.

Key features

4 sizes: 120 x 86 x 51mm to 160 x 111 x 61mm
Clear or black anodised body and end plates as standard
Full length removable mounting flanges
PCBs mounted horizontally into integral slots

1455F series

Extruded aluminium construction with integral wall mounting flanges.

Key features

6 sizes: 80 x 54 x 23mm to 160 x 103 x 53mm
2 removable aluminium end panels.
Available in a clear or black anodised finish
4 alternative horizontal mounting positions for the PCB
Designed to house 50mm wide 1.6mm thick PCBs in lengths up to 80 or 120mm

1455 series

Standard series with aluminium or plastic end plates.

Key features

8 sizes: 60 x 45 x 23mm to 280 x 191 x 66mm
Clear, black, blue or red anodised finish as standard
Aluminium or plastic end panels
