Moeller Electric claims the latest additions to its CI-K range of miniature enclosures make it the most comprehensive range of enclosures of this type available on the market.

Manufactured in the UK at the company's Worksop factory, the robust CI-K enclosures are suitable for housing a wide range of protection and control devices such as miniature circuit breakers, contactors, control relays and rotary and pushbutton switches.

The full CI-K range comprises five sizes and two heights.

The smallest two sizes are available with either hard or soft metric knockouts, both rated IP65.

The CI-K1, measures 120 x 80 x 95mm and is suitable for cable up to 12mm in diameter; and the CI-K2, is designed for cable up to 16mm diameter and measures 160 x 100mm with a choice of 100 and 145mm heights.

The CI-K2 is now also available as a solid-sided unit.

This 'beefed-up' version with no rear cable entries, which although primarily aimed at the US market, is suited to more rugged applications anywhere in the world.

CI-K enclosures are made from halogen-free, glass-fibre-reinforced self-extinguishing polycarbonate that provides a high level of robustness and superb chemical resistance.

Total insulation ensures optimum protection for the user and sealed lugs can be used to protect the unit against unauthorised opening.

A novel design feature is the inclusion of moulded eyelets on the top of the base and cover of the enclosure.

Passing tie wraps through these eyelets effectively forms a temporary hinge for the cover allowing maintenance engineers access to the contents of the enclosure while keeping the cover firmly attached to the base.

All CI-K enclosures are supplied complete with a choice of mounting rail or mounting plate.

Rubber mounting pads on the rear of the unit stop it slipping making it easier to mount on a wall.
