Overview

The Hammond RM1U1908SBK is a 1U rack-mount/desktop instrument enclosure designed for rugged industrial applications requiring compact, high-strength housing for sensitive electronics. Constructed from solid aluminum with a durable black finish, this enclosure measures 1.75 inches in height, 16.6 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth, providing a compact footprint while maximizing internal space for components. The unit includes integrated 19-inch mounting flanges for direct installation into standard 19-inch rack systems or desktop configurations, eliminating the need for additional mounting hardware in most applications. Key features include compatibility with 35mm DIN rail mounting, allowing for flexible internal component organization. The enclosure supports optional accessories such as the 1427B2BK pull handle for improved handling and the 1427BA ILKIT2 tilt bail kit for adjustable viewing angles. A vented top and bottom version (RM1U1908V BK) is available for applications requiring enhanced thermal management. The RM1U1908SBK is part of Hammond’s RM Series, which is engineered for durability in industrial control panels, test equipment, and instrumentation applications where space efficiency and structural integrity are critical. This enclosure is ideal for housing circuit boards, power supplies, relays, and other sensitive electronic assemblies in environments where protection from physical damage and electromagnetic interference is required. The aluminum construction provides excellent heat dissipation while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it suitable for both fixed installations and portable instrumentation. The black satin finish resists corrosion and matches standard industrial equipment aesthetics, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
