CASE SYSTEM FOR EXTREME SETTINGS

Environmental case system (ECS) employs a two-piece, sealed solution that achieves IP66, IP67, and NEMA 6 ratings with a latch or screw-locking method. ECS has integrated connection options with one or two M12 inserts, and an option for a cable gland. Alternatively, a blank faceplate can be modified to accommodate any sealed connector that fits in the housing profile. The polycarbonate (PC) enclosure withstands rapid temperature swings, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures of -40 °C to 85 °C.
