The Hammond 1456RL1BKBK is a sloped aluminum instrument console from the 1456 Series, supplied with a black top panel on a black case. It is built for electronics designers, OEM engineers and integrators who need a desktop housing with an angled front panel for switches, displays, meters and controls.

The 1456RL1 body pairs a gentle 10-degree slope with the deepest 17-inch footprint in the series: 17 in (432 mm) wide by 11.3 in (287 mm) deep, with a 1.50 in (38 mm) front height and a 3.50 in (89 mm) rear height. The shallow angle keeps a large, nearly flat top panel for controls and labels.

Both the case and the top panel are made from 12 gauge (0.081 in / 2 mm) aluminum. This version is finished black on both parts, a black top panel on a black case ("Black Top / Black Case" on the drawing), for a uniform dark look. The 1456RL1BKBK is rated IP31, is RoHS and REACH compliant, and ships shrink-wrapped at 4.59 lbs (2.08 kg). Overall dimensions on the manufacturer drawing are 434.82 mm [17.12 in] wide, 294.87 mm [11.61 in] deep and 92.03 mm [3.62 in] high.

The console is sold pre-assembled: the purchased assembly includes the case, the cover, six cover screws and four self-adhesive rubber feet. The recommended cover-screw torque is 150-175 cN-m (13.3-15.5 lbf-in). Replacement 6-32 x 1/4 in self-tapping cover screws are available as 1421J6 (natural finish, pack of 6) or 1421J6BK (black, pack of 6), and spare 0.5 x 0.5 in self-adhesive rubber feet as 1421T3 (pack of 24).

Enclosures can be factory modified with milling, drilling and printing, and solid models are available in STEP or IGES for layout work. The same 1456RL1 size is also offered as 1456RL1BKBU and 1456RL1WHBU in the other top and case colour combinations.
