IP67 electronics enclosures

18 March 2009 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Bulgin’s new range of IP67 rated plastic enclosures combine a host of practical features to provide an offering suitable for applications such as control stations and electrical and electronic control equipment where protection from dust and water is necessary.

Complementing Bulgin’s ranges of sealed connectors, the BE enclosure range is available in three sizes, all 53 mm deep. Size 1 measures 80 x 72 mm, size 2 measures 80 x 106 mm and size 3 measures 80 x 139 mm.

The enclosures combine corrosion resistance and lightweight properties with high impact strength in a choice of two plastic materials: ABS with a UL94-HB rating and Polycarbonate with a UL94-V0 rating. The lids and bases can be supplied in alternative colours; the bases in grey or black and the lids in grey, black, yellow, transparent or smoke grey. Plastic screws complete the corrosion proof package. Temperature rating for the ABS version is from -20°C to +85°C and for the Polycarbonate material from -20°C to +100°C.

Mounting accessories include an easy to fix rail-mounting bracket for both TS32 and TS35 type DIN rails, while external panel fixing brackets allow the enclosures to be mounted either within cabinets or in more exposed applications where dust and moisture could prove a problem to system reliability. Each enclosure includes two moulded knock-outs with M20 thread suitable for use with the matching standard M20 cable glands. These will maintain the IP rating whilst allowing for two separate cable entry points for cables between 3,5 mm and 7 mm in diameter.

Environmental sealing to IP67 provides dust and waterproof protection for short-term submersion to 1 m depth. Internally the enclosures have pre-moulded PCB fixings and slots allowing easy mounting of electronic boards. The enclosure sizes and depths are specifically designed for use in control stations where 22 mm switches and indicators are a standard fit. The size designations reflect the number of moulded holes available as a standard option for mounting these components.
