The Eddystone range is one of several die-cast box families that Hammond manufactures in high volumes.

At one time ‘back in the day’ Eddystone was the leading brand of die-cast enclosures. Manufactured by GEC-Marconi for their own use, they rapidly became available to the electronics industry through other enclosure companies and catalogue and specialist distributors. When GEC-Marconi stopped manufacturing them in 1998, Hammond bought the IP, tools and stock, and are still making this well-respected range today. Indeed, one size of the Eddystone family is the best-selling die-cast enclosure by volume to this day. The Eddystone range is one of several general-purpose families that we manufacture. The other main ones are the 1590 with a plain interior, the 1590 with ribbed interior walls and the 1550 plain wall range. The 1590 is available with flanged or plain lids or flanged or plain bases and selected sizes are supplied with a gasket for IP65 sealing. The 1550 is supplied with IP66 gaskets as standard and IP67 gaskets as an upgrade alternative.
