Bulgin's plastic enclosures protect to IP67

Bulgin's range of IP67-rated plastic enclosures are suitable for use in applications such as control stations and electronics that need protecting from dust and water.

The BE enclosure-range is available in three sizes, all 53mm deep: size one measures 80 x 72mm, size two measures 80 x 106mm and size three measures 80 x 139mm.

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 this corrosion-proof package.

Temperature rating for the ABS version is from -20C to +85C and the polycarbonate material is from -20C to +100C.

Mounting accessories include an easy-to-fix rail-mounting bracket for 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 affect 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 while allowing for two separate cable entry points for cables between 3.5 and 7mm in diameter.

Environmental sealing to IP67 provides dust and waterproof protection for short-term submersion to 1m depth.

Internally, the enclosures have pre-moulded PCB fixings and slots, allowing easy mounting of electronic boards.

The enclosure sizes and depths are designed for use in control stations where 22mm 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.

The enclosures are suitable for electrical and electronic packaging in harsh environments or where susceptible components need to be protected in applications such as food preparation/processing areas or wash-down environments through to outdoor installations for connection, switching or packaging.
