The 1444-8 is a 6 in x 4 in x 2 in (152 mm x 102 mm x 51 mm) aluminum chassis for small electronics projects, including the audio and tube builds the series is tagged for, that need a rigid metal base with front, back and top panels for mounting parts.
Construction is spot welded, heavy duty 0.040 in aluminum (listed as 0.04 in / 1 mm in the ordering table) with a natural aluminum finish. The protective covering on the aluminum, according to the series photo notes, works well as a layout tool before drilling.
The drawing specifies an inner box length of 150.37 mm [5.92 in], inner box width of 99.57 mm [3.92 in] and inner box height of 48.77 mm [1.92 in]. Shipping weight is 0.26 lbs (0.12 kg).
To close the underside, add natural-finish bottom plate 1434-8, which is also 0.040 in aluminum and punched with 4 holes of 3/16 in diameter, plus a package of plated cover screws 1421J6 (six 6-32 x 1/4 in self-tapping screws). Neither is included with the 1444-8; the 1451 series steel covers will not fit.
The 1444-8 is RoHS and REACH compliant and ships in shrink wrap. Hammond notes that these enclosures can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing) and that STEP or IGES solid models are available.
