Product Information

Full details

The Hammond 10758PSLA is a rugged, die-cast aluminum alloy enclosure designed for electronics engineers and hobbyists who require a durable, shielded housing for sensitive projects. Its key benefit lies in the combination of robust structural integrity and excellent EMI/RFI shielding performance, making it ideal for protecting delicate circuits in industrial or experimental settings. A notable caveat is that while it meets IP54 standards for dust and water splash resistance, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this enclosure waterproof?

It is rated IP54, which means it is protected against dust and splashing water, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Does it come with mounting hardware for PCBs?

No, it does not include internal standoffs; you will need to provide your own adhesive or screw-in PCB standoffs.

What is the exterior finish?

The exterior is supplied in a natural aluminum finish.

Can I easily drill holes into this box?

Yes, the die-cast aluminum is easy to machine using standard workshop tools like drill presses or step drills.

Does it offer protection against signal interference?

Yes, the aluminum construction provides effective EMI/RFI shielding for sensitive internal components.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not sit flush against the base

Check for debris in the lap joint channel and ensure all screws are properly aligned and tightened in a cross-pattern.

Grounding issues with the enclosure

If the circuit requires the enclosure to be earth-grounded, remove the anodization or oxidation at a contact point near a mounting screw to ensure electrical continuity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent EMI/RFI shielding capabilities
  • Highly durable and impact-resistant material
  • Easy to customize with standard machine tools
  • Professional natural aluminum finish
  • Stable PCB mounting due to low draft angle

Cons

  • Not intended for full submersible waterproofing
  • No internal mounting bosses or guides included
  • Requires manual drilling for cable entries

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the enclosure, start by planning your cable ingress and egress points. Use a drill press or milling machine for the cleanest holes. When installing the lid, use the provided M3.5 x 12 countersunk screws; ensure they are tightened uniformly to maintain the seal integrity. If you are mounting electronics, check the internal dimensions (145 x 95 x 49mm) to ensure your component assembly fits comfortably. For care, wipe down the natural aluminum finish with a dry cloth; if cleaning fluids are required, ensure they are compatible with raw aluminum. Avoid using abrasive pads that may scratch the finish or compromise the surface texture.
