Bocube Alu – functional metal enclosure for demanding situations

The enclosures in the Bocube Alu series provide space for rectangular PCBs and stand out thanks to their attractive and practical design. For example, the front surfaces are deliberately recessed in order to ensure that sensitive electromechanical components are protected. In addition, the new series is factory-prepared for the cost-effective integration of pressure compensation elements. For this purpose, a special insertion opening for a pressure compensation membrane is moulded in and “activated” in the factory.

The captive enclosure lids can be fitted so that they can open to the left or to the right. They are available with a smooth surface or with a recessed surface for the fitting of membrane keypads. Design covers conceal the enclosure screws. Handling during assembly is made easy because components such as lids, screws and design covers are captive.

The 100% metal enclosures are available with powder-coated lacquering in light grey (similar to RAL 7035) or graphite grey (similar to RAL 7024). Contrasting with the dark graphite grey, natural-coloured anodised hinges and covers create an attractive look. Bocube Alu enclosures and hinges are also available in special colours on request.

Sturdy and tough

This impressive new series of enclosures provides high mechanical stability, good EMC screening, and is resistant to chemicals. The enclosures are also resistant to UV light and changes in temperature, so they are suitable for outdoor use in agriculture, traffic or the renewable energies sector.

The new aluminium enclosures are fitted as standard with a foamed PU seal, which provides protection class IP 66 / IP 67. On request, the following are also available: silicone seals for use in higher temperatures, a higher protection class (IP 68, IP 69K), seawater-resistant coatings and EMC seals.

Accessories

Accessories for the Bocube Alu range include pressure compensation membranes, laminated paper mounting panels and various DIN rail designs. Special brackets for wall mounting are under development. Screw channels for wall mounting have already been incorporated in the enclosures.
