The specialist rectangular and round vented 1551V
The 1551V ventilated units are designed to house sensors and small sub-systems installed in the manufacturing environment. One of their key features is the snap-fit closure that allows repeated opening and closing without tools and maximises the internal space for PCBs by eliminating screw fixings to secure the cover to the base. They feature ventilation slots on all four vertical faces of the cover and wall-mounting slots, and a 15mm cable knock-out in the base.
The rectangular and round versions are also available with solid covers in all sizes.
