The 1553WBBK is the black, B-size model of the 1553W water-tight hand-held enclosure series. Designed to meet IP65, it comes with a pre-formed, pre-installed silicone gasket and a grey TPE overmold soft grip, giving engineers a comfortable handheld housing for electronics that must stand up to water and dust.
The case measures 4.61 x 3.11 x 0.98 in (117 x 79 x 25 mm); the drawing gives 117.25 x 78.92 x 25.00 mm overall, with an inside length of 110.71 mm in the top and 109.41 mm in the bottom. The part page lists maximum P.C. board figures of 68.49 mm and 107.23 mm.
The enclosure is molded from UV stabilized, flame retardant ABS rated UL94 V-0. The top cover is recessed for a membrane display or keypad, and the front panel is integrated with the top half. PC board standoffs are molded into both the top and bottom and accept #2 x 3/16" self-tapping screws, which are not included; order 1553WTS100 for a 100 pack.
Black stainless steel machine screws thread into pre-installed M3 brass inserts, placed outside the gasket channel, which suits applications with repetitive assembly and disassembly. The 1553WBBK includes the top, bottom, pre-installed silicone gasket and 4 cover screws; recommended torque is 2.5 lbf-in (30 cN-m). Replacement screws are SC1553WB100BK and replacement gaskets 1553WBGASKET (2-pack). It is RoHS and REACH compliant and ships shrink wrapped at 0.21 lbs (0.10 kg).
