Overview

The Hammond 1550Z108 is a heavy-duty die-cast aluminum watertight enclosure designed for electronic instruments and control applications requiring superior environmental protection. This enclosure features a two-piece tongue-and-groove construction that provides exceptional resistance to dust, water, and EMI/RFI interference. The lap joint design ensures continuous sealing even under repetitive opening and closing cycles, making it ideal for industrial environments where durability and reliability are critical. Measuring 4.94 x 3.17 x 2.31 inches (125.5 x 80.5 x 58.7 mm), the 1550Z108 offers a compact yet spacious interior for mounting PCBs and components. The enclosure is available in natural aluminum (unpainted) with a smooth vibra-finished surface, eliminating sharp edges for safe handling. For applications requiring additional corrosion resistance, a black polyester powder-coated version is available, applied to both the interior and exterior surfaces for lasting protection. The lid is secured with four stainless steel Philips head machine screws (M3.5 x 0.6 x 12 mm) into factory-tapped holes, positioned outside the gasket protection area to maintain watertight integrity without requiring O-rings on the screws. This design simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent sealing performance over time. The enclosure meets IP68 and NEMA 4, 4X, 12, and 13 ratings, providing reliable protection against water ingress, corrosion, and mechanical damage. Common applications include industrial control panels, sensor housings, automation equipment, and outdoor electronic installations where environmental resistance is essential. The 1550Z108 is part of Hammond’s 1550Z series, known for its economical yet robust construction, making it a cost-effective choice for OEMs and system integrators seeking durable enclosures without compromising on performance.
