1550ZF IP68-rated, diecast aluminum enclosures are flanged versions, which are available in all 18 sizes of the well-established 1550Z rugged, thick-walled, heavy-duty, diecast enclosure family. Their full-size flange is spot-welded to the base to give a strong and smooth mounting plate.

1550ZF’s 18 sizes range from 50 x 45 x 30 mm to 223 x 147 x 83 mm, with lid thickness ranging from 5 to 33 mm in depth. Their tongue-and-groove design and a pre-formed, one-piece silicone rubber gasket enable IP68 protection, which makes these enclosures ideal for installation in environments with dust and water.

1550ZFs are UL and cUL listed, and have been independently tested for IP66, IP67 and IP68 compliance. They’re also rated NEMA Type 4, 4X, 12 and 13. All sizes except the smallest have an impact rating of IK08, which is defined in IEC 62262 standard as equivalent to the impact of a 1.7 kg mass dropped from 300 mm above the impacted surface.

Depending on the size, the lid is secured to the base with either two, four or six stainless-steel Philips machine screws located outside the gasketed area, giving repeated access without degrading environmental protection. They’re available in a natural finish or with a tough, polyester, black powder finish on the outside and inside. Clear areas in the painted versions are provided around the grounding points.
