The M268-2BK is the black matte anodized version of Hammond's general purpose 4.0" x 1.6" rectangle handle. Extruded from heavy duty aluminum and using metric M5-0.8 hardware, it gives dark instrument panels, enclosure doors and equipment covers a clean, modern-style pull.

Dimensions from the series table and drawing:

• Mounting hole centers: 3.50 in (89 mm); drawing 88.00 mm [3.465 in]
• Handle depth: 1.58 in (40 mm)
• Handle width: 0.47 in (12 mm)
• Overall length: 101.81 mm [4.008 in]
• Inside span between legs: 75.00 mm [2.953 in]
• Clearance under the grip: 32.00 mm [1.260 in]

The legs are tapped M5x0.8-6H, with the thread depth called out as 15.00 [0.561] on the drawing. Two panhead M5 x 12 screws and two washers come with the handle, which is sold singly. Because the table and drawing hole-center values differ slightly, lay out the panel from the drawing.

The M268-2BK is packed in a box with a shipping weight of 0.14 lbs (0.06 kg) and is RoHS and REACH compliant. The clear matte anodized version with the same dimensions is M268-2, and longer rectangle handles in the same M268 family are also listed in the series.
