New from enclosure specialist Schroff is the ULTRX range of fibreglass wall-mount enclosures, which are designed to provide long-life protection for electronic or electrical equipment in potentially corrosive environments.
Manufactured by Hoffman, one of Schroff’s sister companies within the Pentair Technical Products Group, the enclosures are fabricated from compression-moulded fibreglass material offering high temperature, chemical and impact resistance, with a seamless foam-in-place gasket to ensure an IP66-rated water-tight and dust-tight seal.
These versatile enclosures can be turned through 180 degrees to allow either left or right hinging, and they are available with either solid doors or an impact-resistant polycarbonate window. Featuring a hinge design that allows an opening angle of up to 270 degrees, the doors incorporate a stainless-steel quarter-turn latch, which can be optionally upgraded to a keylocking or padlocking handle for added security.
Moulded-in bosses and integral mounting rails are provided for attaching internal panels, and the ULTRX range also offers accessories such as panel bracket kits, swing-out panels, rack-mounting angles, swing frames, hole seals, door stop kits and mounting bracket kits.
Available in nine different sizes from 513 x 413 x 228 mm to 1025 x 825 x 329 mm, the enclosures carry a number of international approvals, including UL 508A, CSA C22.2 No. 94, and NEMA Types 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 13. They also meet the new NEMA Type 3RX requirements.

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
