Size Matters in Extra Large NEMA 4x IP66 Plastic Electronic Enclosure

Published on: November 25, 2019 by Blair Haas

We have often been asked to provide extra large plastic NEMA/IP rated enclosures and so we are delighted to introduce the NBG series.  While much is made of the ongoing reduction in component sizes, one concept that is overlooked is that now products that used to require a many bay cabinet can now be housed in a single large unit.  Moreover, when large enclosures are required, designers often think that metal is their only option.  Large plastic boxes require a significant investment in both equipment and tooling, exponentially greater than that required for a smaller enclosure.  However, the reduction in weight as well as the impact resistance and flexibility of plastic can make the shift in material the best option.  The NBG series is made from PC+PBT(f1) material offering high strength and weather resistance and is, of course rated NEMA 4x and IP66.

Bud’s new extra-large NBG electronic enclosure series provides IP66 and NEMA 4x protection in plastic

Available in three sizes up to 39.5 x 27.5 x 12.3”, it comes with many helpful features including an easily removable door to assist in installation of your component.  It comes with either an opaque or clear door and the hinges are made of stainless steel.  The material is UV stabilized and it uses a poured gasket in the door to insure the best possible seal.  This allows it to meet NEMA 4x, 12, and 13 as well as IP66 ratings.  We already have customers in a variety of industries for this product from Industrial Automation to Agriculture to IoT.
