The 1590WBS is the water-tight, natural-finish version of the 1590BS diecast aluminum enclosure, the deeper body built on the 1590B footprint. Without mounting flanges, it is a compact, rugged housing for electronics designers and OEM builders who need extra internal height in a box designed to meet IP65.
Box and lid are diecast aluminum alloy, tough yet easy to machine for switches, jacks and cable entries. The unpainted version is vibra finished for a smooth surface with no sharp edges. Lap joint construction where lid and box meet protects against dust and splashing water, and the silicone gasket is included, supplied loose inside the enclosure.
The part page lists the size as 4.41 x 2.38 x 1.65 in (112 x 60 x 42 mm), while the series ordering table gives a nominal 4.41 x 2.40 x 1.50 in (112 x 61 x 38 mm). The drawing shows 112.00 mm [4.409 in] long, 60.50 mm [2.382 in] wide and 42.00 mm [1.654 in] high overall, with inside dimensions of 106.47 mm [4.192 in] long, 54.97 mm [2.164 in] wide and 38.00 mm [1.496 in] high. The maximum PC board is 52.97 x 104.47 mm, and side wall draft is 2 degrees or less.
The 1590WBS includes box, lid and 4 cover screws that thread into factory-tapped 6-32 UNC holes. Recommended torque is 50-55 cN.m [71-78 ozf.in], or 25-30 cN.m [36-43 ozf.in] with the gasket. Shipping weight is 0.51 lbs (0.23 kg); it is RoHS and REACH compliant, and the replacement gasket kit is 1590BGASKET.
