Enclosures have low profiles, more cabling options

Enclosures, which seal to IP66 and feature a super low profile, are for use in control and instrumentation applications as well as general lighting systems.

Spelsberg has extended its popular TK range with the new 2518 series enclosures, which seal to IP66 and feature a super low profile for use in control and instrumentation applications as well as general lighting systems. All models in the series accept DIN rails and mounts for PCB's and are easily customised to fit a broad range of other components. Resistant to chemicals and washdowns, the new 2518 series enclosures are ideal for protecting circuits in machine control systems and other harsh environment applications.

The boxes seal to IP66 and are available in tough polycarbonate (PC 2518) or lower cost polystyrene (PS 2518).

Other options include a choice of smooth sidewalls or knockouts and the largest model in the range can accept 34 separate metric cable glands.

The PC and PS 2518 enclosures are easily customised, allowing for quick flexible installation, with many mounting options and accessories for all types of circuit boards and faceplates.

Offering standard base dimensions of 180mm X 254mm, the boxes facilitate access for installation and system repairs.

The low profiles (from 63mm) provide a compact and 'clean' unit that allows electrical engineers to specify boxes with the optimum internal volume.

The series is supplied with standard lids that can be easily machined to accept control switches, indicators, keypads and LCD displays and tough transparent versions are available that allow for visual checking of circuit status.

The new PC and PS 2518 series form part of a range of enclosures that consists of over 300 different models, making it the widest selection of plastic enclosures ex-stock in the country.

Spelsberg UK's headquarters are centrally located in Telford, providing customers with immediate access to technical support and next day delivery on all standard items.
