The 1596B112 is a single black plastic potting box in a cube format: 0.98 in x 0.98 in x 0.98 in (25 mm x 25 mm x 25 mm). Its equal length, width and depth make it a fit for compact components that need depth as well as footprint, such as small sensors, coils or modules that electronics designers and OEM assemblers want to encapsulate in resin.

The box is one piece molded construction with no lid, designed for potting box applications. It is made from black general purpose ABS plastic with a UL94 HB flame rating and a smooth black finish, and the drawing shows a 1.00 mm (0.039 in) wall. The series carries a temperature rating of -20 ºC to +94 ºC (-4 ºF to 201.2 ºF).

This part number is one box, packed in a bag, with a listed shipping weight of 0.01 lbs (0.00 kg). For production quantities the same cube is available as a 10-pack (1596B112-10) or bulk packed (1596B112-BULK). The 1596B112 is REACH and RoHS compliant and carries UPC 623980566627.

Before selecting a potting compound, check its chemistry against the manufacturer's chemical resistance statement. Acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, thread locking compounds, cutting or tapping fluid, water detection paste, anti-seize paste, strong solvents and some greases and oils are listed as able to damage the plastic. When modifying the box, use an air blast to clear chips.
