The R196-162-000 is a water-tight, thick-wall diecast aluminum enclosure from the R196 aluPLUS series, measuring 10.24 in x 6.3 in x 3.54 in (260 mm x 160 mm x 90 mm). It is intended for OEM engineers and integrators housing electronics, circuit boards or controls that must be sealed against water and dust. At 260 x 160 mm with a 90 mm depth with lid, it is the largest size listed in the R196 series table.
The enclosure is diecast aluminum (GD SI 12 / DIN 1725) finished in light grey (RAL 7035) textured polyester powder coat; unpainted versions can be supplied on special order. An installed silicone gasket carries a recommended operating temperature of -50ºC up to +140ºC (-58ºF to 284ºF), and captive stainless steel lid screws are included.
Internal mounting channels let you mount the enclosure to a wall or shelf after the lid is closed. Snap-in dark grey (RAL 9017) POM plastic clip-on covers hide both the lid screws and installation holes. An integrated 1.7 mm recess in the lid accepts membrane keypads and front panels, and standoffs in the enclosure and lid support panels, boards and components.
