Hammond Electronics 1590 die-cast enclosures

Click2Contact

The 1590 die-cast enclosures family from Hammond Electronics consists of 41 different sizes in the standard rectangular and STOMP box painted variants.

STOMP boxes are colour coded to provide visual quick identification on stage. Also known as guitar effect pedals, they are the housings for foot-operated equipment used by electric guitarists to produce preset effects such as distortion, wah-wah, delay, chorus and phaser. The 1590 BX2 (254 x 70 x 35 mm) and 1590 BX (254 x 70 x 51 mm) have been added to the range to allow multiple pedals to be mounted in a single enclosure.

The two latest sizes have also been specified in a completely different requirement, a radio antenna splitter, where multiple local feeds are broken out from the incoming aerial. In both applications, the intrinsic RFI shielding, the mechanical strength and the environmental sealing of the 1590 were important requirements.

A lap joint seals the units to IP54, protecting against the ingress of dust and water, and the painted finish is only applied to the external surfaces, maintaining RFI integrity. The product is available as in natural finish or with a satin black painted finish.

All sizes can be supplied factory modified with machining and silk screening to the user’s specification. AutoCAD files and PDF dimensioned drawings can be downloaded from Hammond’s website.
