Designed to meet IP65, it suits OEM engineers, panel builders and electronics integrators who need to house printed circuit boards or components and bolt the box directly to a wall, panel or machine surface.

The body is general purpose ABS plastic with a UL94 HB flame rating, with an opaque lid that carries a smooth recessed area for a membrane, label or silkscreen. The part page lists the colour as Light Gray. A two-piece tongue and groove lid with a rubber gasket protects against access of oil, dust and water; the gasket is included and must be field installed.
