Hammond Manufacturing: 1550ZF Series Watertight Diecast Aluminum Enclosures w/ Flanges

October 9, 2024

Introducing the 1550ZF Series of watertight diecast aluminum enclosures with flanges, from Hammond Manufacturing.

The 1550ZF Series is a thick-wall diecast aluminum watertight electronic instrument enclosure. The rugged diecast aluminum alloy is tough yet easy to machine, with a two piece tongue and groove construction for protection against access of dust and water. A strong spot-welded bottom flange allows for easy mounting. An unpainted version of the enclosure is vibra finished for a smooth surface with no sharp edges, while a textured black version is coated with tough polyester powder for a lasting finish, even after machining, with a finish that is applied outside and inside the enclosure.

More 1550ZF Series Features
