Features
Rugged, diecast aluminum alloy (tough - yet easy to machine), electronic instrument enclosure.
Lap joint construction provides protection against access of dust and splashing water. Also provides for improved EMI/RFI shielding.
Unpainted version is vibra finished for a smooth surface with no sharp edges.
Textured black version is coated with tough polyester powder paint for a lasting finish, even after machining. Black screws are included to enhance appearance.
Includes screws threaded into factory-tapped holes. Screw type and quantity vary. See details below or in drawings.
Standard versions are designed to meet IP54.
Water-tight versions are designed to meet IP65 and include a gasket. Gasket is supplied loose inside the enclosure (not pre-installed).
Low side wall draft angle (2 degrees or less) for easy P.C. board mounting.

Hardware
NOTE: 1590 series enclosures feature factory-tapped assembly screw holes that accept machine screws, which are included with the enclosures. Most sizes require four (4) screws. 1590BX, 1590BX2, 1590D, 1590DD, 1590DE, 1590E, 1590EE & 1590R1 require six (6). 1590F requires eight (8). See drawings and/or photos for details.
Replacement Hardware
Tamper-proof Hardware Upgrade (Torx w/ Pin)
See "Hardware" table below for compatibility.
Gaskets
NOTE: Gaskets are included with watertight 1590 enclosures. They can also be purchased as a kit if you'd like to upgrade an IP54 enclosure to IP65.
Each kit includes two pre-formed silicone gaskets.
Gaskets include adhesive backing for easy installation.
Allows enclosure to be machined and/or painted first and gasketed later.
Gasket is applied to the lid.
Gasket as a temperature rating of -40C to +150C
Designed to meet IP65 with properly installed gasket and lid screws torqued to 25-30 cN.m (36-43 ozf.in).
Refer to part number table below for correct gasket.
Notes
Lid height is 0.16" (4 mm)
Don't forget to order our watertight screws (stainless steel with o-ring) when converting a standard enclosure to a water-tight box.
Other 1590-Series Enclosures
Nine of our popular “stomp box” sizes are also available in a variety of colors. See the 1590-STOMP series for details.
Three of our popular sizes are also available in diecast zinc (series 1590K4). The zinc alloy is heavy weight, high impact, and easy to machine & plate.
The 1590-RIBBED series features internal vertical ribs on the side walls.
