These exceptional enclosures have been meticulously designed to cater to the needs of OEMs and installers, offering practical solutions to various application challenges. The key advantages of PolySlim enclosures include their compatibility with existing panel designs, the elimination of unnecessary depth and material, streamlined installations, and substantial savings in both space and cost.
The defining feature of PolySlim enclosures is their low-profile design, making them exceptionally well-suited for a wide range of applications. Whether utilized in building exteriors or confined spaces, these enclosures reliably safeguard equipment in non-hazardous industrial and commercial settings where space constraints are a critical factor. They excel in protecting network components, including routers and switches, even in harsh and demanding environmental conditions.
PolySlim enclosures find ideal applications in electrical control systems, wireless communications setups, measurement and monitoring equipment, as well as security installations that require equipment with minimal depth.
Stahlin offers PolySlim polycarbonate enclosures in a versatile range of seven sizes, spanning from 10 inches by 8 inches by 3 inches to 24 inches by 24 inches by 6 inches. These enclosures can be configured with either a hinged/screw cover or a hinged/latched cover, offering flexibility to cater to specific project requirements. Despite their high-impact resistance, these enclosures are remarkably lightweight, ensuring ease of installation. Notably, PolySlim enclosures feature a non-metallic hinge design that doesn't penetrate the interior of the enclosure, maintaining the integrity of the sealed environment.
The construction of PolySlim enclosures boasts thick, robust, and smooth side walls, effectively eliminating any concerns related to side wall flexing. This design optimization maximizes the available space for mounting fittings and components, making the most of the enclosure's dimensions. Additionally, the low-profile aesthetic of PolySlim enclosures meets visual requirements when they are installed in visible areas, both inside and outside of buildings. The enclosures come equipped with molded-in mounting feet, cross members, and holes for added convenience during installation, reducing the need for costly on-site modifications. They also feature embosses in the back for DIN rail mounting.
In terms of performance, PolySlim polycarbonate enclosures have an impressive Operating Temperature Rating of -40°C to +120°C, making them suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. They also feature an Outdoor UV Exposure (UL 746C) (f1) rating, signifying their resistance to UV exposure and water immersion. These enclosures hold various certifications and compliance standards, including cULus per file #E319779 for Type 1, 3R, 4, 4X, 6P*, 12, UL50, UL50e, UL508A, and IEC 60529, with UL Listed status per file #E362920 for IP66 and IP68* ratings.
