If your electronic or electrical equipment requires protection when installed in environments where dust and water are present and physical impact is a concern, our ultra-rugged thick wall 1590Z IP68 sealed die-cast aluminium enclosures are the perfect enclosure for your project. We continue to expand the family with new sizes, there are now 24 size options available. The latest addition is the 1590Z137, measuring 200mm x 80mm x 60mm.

The 1590Z family is an immensely strong enclosure suitable for installation in the most demanding environments. All 24 sizes offer excellent EMC capability and corrosion resistance, enabling the 1590Z to protect the housed electronic, electrical or electro-mechanical equipment wherever they are installed in an industrial environment. Sealing to IP68 is achieved through a tongue and groove interface between the lid and base with a user-replaceable one-piece silicone rubber gasket.

Key features of the 1590Z

  • 24 sizes in the family from 50mm x 45mm x 30mm to 400mm x 230mm x 180mm

  • All sizes except the smallest 50mm x 45mm x 30mm 1590Z060 have an IEC 62262 impact rating of IK08, confirming protection against 5 Joules of impact by a 25mm diameter striking element, the equivalent to the impact of a 1.7kg mass dropped from 300mm above the impacted surface
  • UL and cUL Listed.
  • Certified to NEMA Type 4, 4X, 6, 6P and rated IP68 to IEC 60529
  • Wall thicknesses vary from 3.0mm to 5.2mm depending on the overall size of the enclosure
  • IP68 sealing with a user-replaceable one-piece silicone rubber gasket rated for use from -40°C to +150°C
  • The majority of sizes have a mounting shelf in the base, enabling DIN rails or PCBs to be mounted directly into the unit without using stand-offs to provide clearance
  • The majority of sizes have multiple holes in the base and lid to accept 6mm ground screws
  • 16 of the sizes are available with an optional 1.6mm galvanized steel inner panel
  • Captive stainless steel machine screws outside the sealed area secure the lid into tapped holes in the base, allowing repeated access without degrading the sealing
