Flanged Base Plastic Box Enclosure For Wall/Surface Mount RBF32P04G08C

Product Information

Specification

Also Known As :
The primary purpose of these enclosures is to protect electronics from environmental hazards, mechanical impacts, and electromagnetic interference, while also providing a structure to hold components in place and allow for user interaction.

About :
When selecting or designing an electronic enclosure, it's essential to consider the specific needs of the application and the environment in which it will operate. Polycarbonate is a versatile and robust thermoplastic that's used in a wide range of applications due to its high impact resistance, optical clarity, and ability to withstand temperature variations.

Common Applications: :
• They're lightweight and can be molded into various shapes but may not provide as much EMI shielding as metals.
• Consumer Electronics is almost every household gadget, from televisions to game consoles, has an enclosure.
• They're durable and offer good electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding but can be heavy.
• Consider protection against other environmental factors like UV radiation, corrosive atmospheres, and extreme temperatures.

Standards:
• Machines or devices that require a clear, robust base might use polycarbonate with a flange for added strength.
• The flange can allow for attachment while the clear polycarbonate lets light pass through.
• Some polycarbonates can degrade with prolonged exposure to UV light unless they're treated or have UV stabilizers.
• While polycarbonate is resistant to many chemicals, some can cause it to become brittle or cloudy.

Construction :
• Common materials include ABS, polycarbonate, polyethylene, and PVC. The choice often depends on the application's specific needs, such as UV resistance, durability, transparency, and cost.
• These enclosures come in a wide variety of sizes, from small boxes for individual components to larger ones that can house entire systems.
• Machines or devices that require a clear, robust base might use polycarbonate with a flange for added strength.
• The flange can allow for attachment while the clear polycarbonate lets light pass through.
• Metal aluminum and steel are commonly used for heavy-duty applications. These materials offer good electromagnetic shielding.

Features :
• A flanged base typically refers to a base or mount with a protruding rim, edge, rib, or collar, used to provide stability, increase strength, or allow for attachment to another object.
Cooling and Ventilation:
• As electronics generate heat, consider
Natural ventilation:
• Uses openings or vents.
Forced air cooling:
• Uses fans.
Heat sinks:
• Metal components that dissipate heat.
• Thermal compounds: Improve heat transfer between components.
Connectivity:
• Allow cables to enter the enclosure while maintaining the IP rating.
Connectors:
• For interfacing with external devices or systems.
Accessibility:
• Removable panels or doors for maintenance or modification.
Mounting options:
• Rack mounts, DIN rail mounts, wall mounts, etc.
Ventilation:
• If heat dissipation is a concern, consider enclosures with vents or those compatible with cooling fans.
Cable Management:
• Some enclosures come with pre-cut holes, glands, or knockouts for cable management.
Internal Mounting:
• Look for models with internal mounting points, rails, or DIN rails if you need to securely fasten internal components.
