The 1597DIN2GY is the narrowest standard module in its DIN rail enclosure family: a 2 module housing measuring 3.54 in x 1.38 in x 2.28 in (90 mm x 35 mm x 58 mm). It is built for controls engineers and panel builders who need a compact snap-together case for electronics mounted on standard symmetrical 35 mm DIN rail, with the series listing industrial drives and controls, automation, HVAC and IoT among its applications.

The purchased enclosure includes base and cover. Per the drawing, the cover is polycarbonate and the base is PPE+PS; the series describes a light gray polycarbonate main body on a dark gray PPE and PS mounting base. The material carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and the enclosure is designed to meet IP20. Snap closures mean no hardware is needed to assemble it. For board mounting, the drawing recommends a PCB screw torque of 2.5 lbf-in (30 cN-m) and lists the 1553WTS100 #2 x 3/16 in plated self-tapping screw (pack of 100) as an accessory.

The 1597DIN2GY has 2 cover spaces. Covers are sold individually, so you can mix and match: 1597DINCOV1GY closed, 1597DINCOV2GY oval, 1597DINCOV3GY vented or 1597DINCOV4GY knockout. No clear cover is listed for this size.

It ships shrink wrapped at 0.08 lbs (0.04 kg), is REACH and RoHS compliant and carries UPC 623980524306. The enclosure can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing) and solid models are available in .stp or .x_t. The manufacturer notes that some chemicals, including acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, thread locking compounds, cutting fluid and strong solvents, can damage its plastic enclosures, so use only plastic-safe cleaners.
