The 1590VBK is a rugged diecast aluminum alloy electronic instrument enclosure from Hammond's 1590 Series, featuring a black polyester powder-coated finish for durability and appearance. It incorporates lap joint construction that provides protection against dust and splashing water while improving EMI/RFI shielding characteristics. The enclosure measures 125 mm in length, 125 mm in width, and 79 mm in height, with a low side wall draft angle of 2 degrees for improved machinability. The water-tight version is designed to meet IP65 standards and includes a gasket supplied loose inside the enclosure. This enclosure is ideal for wall-mounting applications requiring robust environmental protection and electromagnetic shielding in general-purpose electronic instrument designs.
