PolySlim enclosures accommodate existing panel designs, eliminate unneeded depth and material, optimise installations, and save space and cost.

The low-profile design of PolySlim makes these enclosures ideal for use in building exteriors and in tight spaces. They reliably protect equipment in non-hazardous industrial and commercial applications where space is at a premium, and safeguard network components, such as routers and switches in harsh conditions.

PolySlim enclosures are well-suited for electrical control, wireless communications, measurement, monitoring, and security applications with minimal-depth equipment.

PolySlim polycarbonate enclosures are available in seven sizes from 10” x 8” x 3” to 24” x 24” x 6” and can be configured as a hinged/screw cover or a hinged/ latched cover. High-impact rated yet lightweight for ease of installation, PolySlim enclosures feature a nonmetallic hinge that does not penetrate the inside of the enclosure.

Thick, robust, smooth side wall construction eliminates side wall flexing and maximises fitting mounting space. The low-profile design meets aesthetic requirements when mounting in visible areas on or inside buildings.

Moulded-in mounting feet with added mounting cross and holes, and added embosses in the back for DIN rail mounting, provide ease-of-installation and reduce costly on-site modification.

Additional benefits of PolySlim include inhibitors that provide effective protection from UV degradation. An ABS back panel option is available to optimise wireless signal transmission.

Latch options include fully non-metallic or stainless steel. Cover options are available in clear or opaque. Larger sizes are compatible with the new, innovative Stahlin SolarShield HMI Cover.

PolySlim polycarbonate enclosures provide an Operating Temperature Rating of 40°C to +120°C and an Outdoor UV Exposure (UL 746C) (f1) rating. Resin has passed tests for UV exposure and water immersion. Additional ratings include cULus per file #E319779 Type 1, 3R, 4, 4X, 6P*, 12 as well as UL50, UL50e, UL508A and IEC 60529: UL Listed per file #E362920 IP66, IP68*. Certifications and Compliance include: cULus, CE, REACH, and RoHS.
