As part of a recent agreement between the two companies, Farnell now includes Spelsberg’s latest plastic enclosure offerings on its website, as well as in the forthcoming 2008 printed catalogue. Thanks to the online distributorship agreement, customers can now order Spelsberg’s Abox Black range of enclosures with ease. These conform to the ATEX 100a regulations for both junction box and internal components, and are suitable for use in zones 2 and 22 potentially explosive environments.
Abox Black products have IP65 ingress protection and a tough polycarbonate body that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The standard polystyrene Abox design has also been modified and made available from the site with an additional choice of flat lid and smooth sidewalls to facilitate modification for custom cable glands and entries.
The latest 1818-f and 2518-f additions to Spelsberg’s TK range also offer a choice of tough polystyrene or polycarbonate bodies and grey or transparent lids. Featuring a lower profile base and a deeper lid option for easier access to terminals, the enclosures can be used as standalone machine control panels or situated in space-restricted cabinets. Again, smooth lids and sidewall options allow maximum customisation to fit bespoke panels, indicators and switches.
By offering a choice between polystyrene and polycarbonate enclosures, Spelsberg has enabled Farnell to better cater for both installer and home user markets, especially with the latest AK and Aki housed distribution boxes. The new enclosures offer functionality and style and are Ideal for any indoor or outdoor application where breakers or multiphase terminals are required. The broad range of designs includes boxes with up to twenty M20 entries and six M25/M32 knockouts in one base. IP65 sealing and compatibility with systems up to 400V means the AK product line is equally at home in the commercial, industrial or domestic environment.
