The 1597D4MPHGTPC is a clear, hinged Italtronic top cover for DIN 4 enclosures in the 1597DM Series of DIN rail mounted enclosures. The accessory table calls it the "Top Hinge Cover, Clear", and it is the only hinged top cover listed in the series. A transparent hinged top keeps the enclosure contents visible.

It is made from PC with a UL94 V-2 flame rating, as the series specifies for clear accessories. It is longer and taller than the flat DIN 4 covers, measuring 2.75 in x 1.65 in x 0.23 in (70 mm x 42 mm x 6 mm). Shipping weight is 0.02 lbs (0.01 kg). It is RoHS and REACH compliant.

Other DIN 4 top covers include the flat 1597D4MPH (gray) and 1597D4MPHTPC (clear), plus the inlay versions 1597D4MPRH and 1597D4MPRHTPC. In the 1597DM range the DIN group number refers to the number of terminals on each side of the enclosure. Hammond notes that some accessories are not compatible with all enclosures in a DIN size group, and recommends checking the enclosure drawing to confirm fit.

The 1597D4MPHGTPC suits integrators and OEM engineers who need regular access to the inside of a DIN rail housing for PCBs and terminal blocks. Some chemicals can damage or weaken plastic, so check the manufacturer's Chemical Resistance Statement before using solvents, thread-locking compounds or cutting fluids near the part.
