The 1590BB is a natural finish diecast aluminum enclosure with a nominal size of 120 x 94 x 34 mm and no mounting flanges. Its wide, low footprint makes it a practical general-purpose electronic instrument housing for OEM engineers, technicians and integrators who need a rugged, machinable box.
Box and lid are made from diecast aluminum alloy, tough yet easy to machine. The unpainted version is vibra finished for a smooth surface with no sharp edges, and lap joint construction where lid and box meet protects against access of dust and splashing water. The standard 1590BB is designed to meet IP54.
The part page lists 4.7 in x 3.7 in x 1.34 in (119 mm x 94 mm x 34 mm); the series table gives a nominal 4.72 x 3.70 x 1.34 in (120 x 94 x 34 mm). The drawing measures 119.50 x 94.00 x 34.00 mm [4.705 x 3.701 x 1.339 in] outside and 112.66 x 87.16 x 29.75 mm [4.435 x 3.432 x 1.171 in] inside. Listed maximum PC board values are 85.16 mm and 110.66 mm, and the side wall draft angle is 2° or less.
The assembly includes box, lid and 4 cover screws in factory-tapped 6-32 UNC holes at a recommended 50-55 cN.m [71-78 ozf.in]. The water-tight version is 1590WBB, and the 1590BBGASKET kit fits this size. Factory modification and STEP or IGES models are available.
