The 1591CTRD is an IR Red polycarbonate enclosure in a 120 x 65 x 40 mm case with a deeper body than the 1591A and 1591B sizes. It is suited to infrared-based devices with taller components, where IR emitters or detectors operate through the case.
The IR Red version is almost totally transparent to infrared devices, making it a fit for circuits whose infrared devices sit behind the wall of the case. The case is molded from flame retardant translucent polycarbonate that is easy to machine, and lap joint construction between box and lid provides protection against access of dust and splashing water. It is designed to meet IP54 and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
The drawing gives overall dimensions of 120.00 x 65.00 x 39.80 mm (4.724 x 2.559 x 1.567 in). The 35.90 mm inside height and 113.53 mm inside length leave room for taller components than the 1591A and 1591B sizes. Integral card guides accept 1.5 mm (0.062 in) PC cards, with a guide height of 30.91 mm and a slot width of 2.08 mm.
The purchased 1591CTRD assembly includes the box, lid, 4 cover screws and pre-installed brass inserts. The lid is secured with M3 x 10 mm Phillips machine screws threaded into integral brass bushings at a recommended torque of 42-57 ozf.in (30-40 cN.m); replacement screws are part number 1591MS100. The same size is also offered as 1591CTBU and 1591CTCL in the other translucent tints. Some chemicals can damage or weaken plastic, so check chemical compatibility before cleaning or modifying the case.
