Polycase: New Sizes for EK Series

November 6, 2023

Polycase has recently expanded the EK Series of DIN rail mount boxes to include 2 new sizes: 

  • EK-52: 4.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches 
  • EK-54: 5.25 x 4 x 1.5 inches 

The Polycase EK series offers a versatile clip that snaps onto a standard DIN-35 rail, allowing you to easily mount internal components. Both new sizes are larger compared to the current EK-50 and provide an alternative PCB mounting option that allows the user to capture their PCB on the screw tower rib (versus the molded-in mounting bosses) – helping save assembly time by not having to screw down the PCB. Additional features include: 

  • Flame-retardant ABS plastic construction 
  • Durable design suitable for a wide range of industrial applications 
  • PCB mounting bosses molded into the base 
  • Made in the USA  

The EK series is designed to provide reliable protection for electronics at a cost-effective price, fitting in perfectly with Polycase’s catalog of other indoor electronic enclosures.
