The Hammond 1557 Series represents a modern,
high-performance evolution in heavy-duty plastic electronic enclosures.
Specifically engineered for mounting printed circuit boards, control
sub-assemblies, and heavy internal components, these robust housings
feature a unique, rounded aesthetic that blends industrial-grade
protection with a clean, contemporary design profile.
Moulded from high-quality, general-purpose ABS plastic carrying a UL94-HB flammability rating,
the 1557 series is tailored primarily for demanding indoor
environments, industrial plant floors, and sheltered automated networks.
To support seamless system installation and layout configuration, the
category is systematically split into two primary product lines:
- Hammond 1557 ABS Watertight Wallmount Enclosures: The core housing units, complete with dual-tier PCB mounting standoffs and high-spec mechanical sealing.
- Hammond 1557 ABS Watertight Wallmount Accessories:
Essential factory-matched hardware, including custom inner mounting
panels, robust wall-mounting tabs, and specialised outdoor pole-mount
brackets.
Key Sub-Category Highlights
1. Hammond 1557 ABS Watertight Wallmount Enclosures
The
structural foundation of the 1557 family revolves around total
environmental isolation. Utilizing a precision-engineered
tongue-and-groove joint construction sealed with a high-temperature
silicone gasket, these enclosures provide uncompromised protection
against oil, dust, and moisture ingress.
- Environmental Ratings: Independently tested to meet stringent IP68 and NEMA Type 4, 4X, 12, and 13 protection levels, making them completely dust-tight and safe against temporary water submersion.
- Physical Integrity: Delivers a certified impact resistance rating of IK07 per IEC 62262:2021, guarding sensitive electronic modules against direct mechanical shock.
- Enclosure Assembly:
Fastened securely via corrosion-resistant stainless steel machine
screws threading into robust, pre-inserted brass bushings to prevent
plastic strip-outs during multi-access field maintenance.
- Finishing & Customisation:
Available in a professional satin texture black or RAL 7035 light grey,
featuring a smooth, slightly recessed top surface designed for flush
membrane keypads, overlays, or product labels.
2. Hammond 1557 ABS Watertight Wallmount Accessories
Maximise
your installation footprint and deployment options with Hammond's
genuine hardware additions, precision-manufactured to fit the exact
geometric parameters of the 1557 footprint:
- Inner Mounting Panels:
Available in heavy-duty galvanized steel or lightweight aluminum, these
inner plates provide a flat, rigid substrate for mounting complex
sub-assemblies without drilling into the enclosure shell.
- Wall Mounting Tab Kits:
Heavy-duty external tabs that securely fasten to the rear of the
enclosure base, permitting clean vertical surface installations without
compromising the internal IP68 watertight seal.
- Pole Mount Brackets:
Rugged vertical bracket frameworks designed to transition standard 1557
square or rectangular profiles onto structural factory columns or
outdoor conduit poles.
