Extruded aluminium cases provide versatile housing for pcbs

Schroff has introduced a new family of extruded aluminium cases, which it says provides a versatile and robust housing for either standardised or non standard pcbs.

The minipac enclosures are available in two different versions: the trapezoidal version can accept three boards measuring 50, 60 and 65mm in width, while the rectangular style is designed to accommodate either four standard 160 x 100mm boards or eight 160 x 60mm boards. The cases are suitable for wall mounting, din rail mounting or as desktop enclosures. They are designed to accommodate single board computers or com modules, such as in test and measurement, industrial, networking or railway applications. Schroff says their large aluminium surface area ensures optimal heat dissipation and the cases provide environmental protection to IP40.
