Handheld enclosures get a grip

New from Hammond Electronics is the 1553 soft-side family of handheld enclosures.

Hammond Electronics has launched a new range of handheld enclosures, the 1553 soft-side family.

Featuring an ergonometric curved shape that fits comfortably into the hand, the cases are initially available in two sizes, 117 x 79 and 147 x 89mm, both produced in RAL 7035 light grey or RAL 9011 black.

The units are moulded in general purpose ABS and are ideal for housing handheld instruments, remote controllers, flying lead machine controllers and many other applications where a stylish, easy to hold enclosure is required.

Both sizes are overmoulded with contrasting RAL 7012 grey soft side grips, which act both as styling points and also improve the grip on the unit.

Both sizes are available with or without battery door and compartment and have a removable plastic front panel.

The battery compartments are complete with four clips for use with two AA batteries and a flying lead connector for a 9V PP3 size.

The top cover is recessed to allow a membrane keypad to be flush mounted, PCB standoffs are moulded into the base; the larger unit is secured with four screws, the smaller with two.
