The 1599TABSBKBAT is the small black 1599TAB tablet enclosure fitted with a battery door and compartment. It is intended for battery-powered handheld instruments and mobile data devices, especially designs with a touch screen, where a comfortable low-profile shape matters.

The case is molded from flame retardant ABS with a UL94 V-0 rating. Its two halves are joined by four M3-0.5 x 18mm cover screws that thread into installed M3 brass inserts, allowing repeated opening for battery or board service. The battery version includes a battery door, four battery spring clips for 2 x AA batteries and one 9V (PP3) adapter clip.

Overall size is 4.72 x 3.74 x 1.06 in (120 x 95 x 27 mm). The drawing gives inside dimensions of 111.48 mm long, 88.51 mm wide and 20.75 mm high, with a 2.75 mm wall. Because space is shared with the battery compartment, the listed maximum PC board dimensions are 87.94 mm by 97.95 mm. PCB standoffs are molded into both halves and accept #4 self-tapping screws.

A removable end panel allows connectors to be added without machining the main shell, and a molded 25 x 25 mm inlay on the bottom takes a label. The 1599TABSBKBAT ships shrink wrapped at 0.22 lbs (0.10 kg) and is RoHS and REACH compliant. Spare 9V battery kits (53BATCLIP9V-B) and AA battery clip kits (1553HDR-BKIT) are listed as accessories.
