Key Features:

• Designed for EMI/RFI shielding applications - using conductive plastic (a compound of plastic and stainless steel fibers).
• For shielding effectiveness reports see "recommended reading" section below.
• Electronic instrument enclosures, ideally suited for mounting printed circuit boards.
• Thick wall design with an average wall thickness of .13” (3.3 mm).
• Molded from a compound of stainless steel fibers and flame retardant ABS plastic (carries a UL flammability rating of 94V-0).
• Designed to meet IP54.
• NOTE: Material is brittle - acts like phenolic - NOT FOR HIGH IMPACT USE.
• Countersunk lid is secured with four M3 x 0.5 - 0.71” (18 mm) long, Philips machine screws threaded into integral brass bushings. Perfect for applications with repetitive assembly and disassembly are required.
• Black with matte textured finish.

• Material is brittle - acts like phenolic - NOT FOR HIGH IMPACT USE.
• Average wall thickness is 0.13" (3.2 mm)
• Add 0.47" (12 mm) to enclosure depth for lid
• Replacement screws - order Part Number 1594MS100 (Quantity 100 pack)

SAFETY NOTES:

• Conductive plastic is NOT an insulator - these enclosures must be treated like a metal enclosure.
• Conductive plastic will act as a heating element - any significant current flow will cause the plastic to heat and produce smoke.
