Hammond’s 1590 die-cast aluminium enclosure family is available in 37 rectangular sizes from 51mm x 51mm x 25mm to 254mm x 70mm x 50mm, finished in unpainted smooth aluminium or lightly textured black epoxy powder coat.
All sizes are available with plain flat lids, selected sizes with flanged lids that provide security when the enclosure is mounted to a surface or flanged bases for when repeated access is required, are standard options.
For installation in aggressive environments, pre-formed silicone gaskets and O ring screws increase the standard IP54 rating to IP65.
The 1590 has a low side wall draft angle to maximise the internal usable space for PCB mounting. The 1590-RIBBED variant, available in seven sizes from 50mm x 50mm x 31mm to 192mm x 112mm x 61mm, features 2mm wide PCB slots in all four sides for vertical PCB mounting.

Four recessed self-captivated stainless steel machine screws, located outside the sealed area, secure the lid into tapped holes in the base, making the units ideal for applications where repeated openings and closings are required to access the housed equipment. Optional 1.3mm galvanised steel inner panels are available for many sizes, allowing equipment to be mounted on a removable sub-assembly.
