Enclosures
(22 579)The main function of enclosures for electronics is to protect the circuit which is sensitive to external factors. Thanks to that, the enclosure can ensure adequate working conditions for the device. It also protects the humans against contact with live components. While choosing the enclosure, it is necessary to check the dimensions, resistance to mechanical defects, temperature and humidity, but also adjustability for specific projects. Plastic enclosures, which (depending on the material used) are characterized by very high durability, are currently the most popular ones. There are also aluminium, metal, and wooden enclosures. A very important factor that has to be taken into account while choosing this component is its IP rating – it affects the level of protection against humidity, dirt and human action.
Metal enclosures for electronics
A popular solution to effectively protect the electronic components is to use metal enclosures. They are especially useful in the case of devices that are exposed to extremely difficult working conditions and vulnerable to mechanical damage. Moreover, metal enclosures effectively shield the devices placed in them. The disadvantage of this solution is the weight of the enclosure itself.
Plastic enclosures for electronics
Enclosures for electronics can also be made of various plastic materials. Their main advantage is their light weight at relatively high durability. While choosing this type of enclosure, you need to pay particular attention to the material it is made of. Different materials can react to high temperatures, UV light, or chemical solutions in different ways.
Enclosures available from TME
Multipurpose enclosures, which are widely used in electronics, electrical engineering and automation, make for the largest category of enclosures available from TME. Due to solution-specific requirements. customised products are also available for, e.g.: remote controls, power supplies, alarms, sensors, embedded systems, or devices fitted with a display. TME also offers enclosures designed for encapsulation, wall mounting, shielding, as well as panel-mounted enclosures and many more. Also available are various components useful for assembly and maintenance, such as: handles, feet, guards and caps. The wide selection of enclosures and components means that they can be adapted to the requirements of a specific project at the early stage, which makes it easier to customise and mount them in the target location.
