Product description
PK Polycarbonate enclosure, WHD: 182x180x111 mm, fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate, without knockouts, with transparent cover
Fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate construction provides rugged durability and UV resistance, reducing replacement costs and extending service life in outdoor or dusty environments. This translates to fewer maintenance cycles and lower total cost of ownership for deployed control panels and instrumentation. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection shield internal electronics from dust, water ingress, and corrosion, enabling reliable operation in washdown areas or exposed locations while meeting industrial compliance. IK08 impact resistance guards against accidental impacts, protecting mounted components in harsh plant floors or outdoor installations. The transparent cover with a foam-in PU seal enables quick visual inspection without exposing contents to the elements, decreasing downtime during routine checks. Quick-release cover screws speed maintenance, cutting labor time and facilitating hot-swapping of components. The wide operating temperature range of -35 °C to 80 °C supports installations across diverse climates, reducing the need for different enclosure variants. Supplying includes the enclosure with cover, cover screws, and insulating bungs for wall mounting screws, simplifying on-site setup and ensuring a secure, compliant seal from day one. The lightweight, easy-to-handle design improves installation efficiency for panel builders and integrators, while the standard mounting footprint supports compatibility with a broad range of accessories and internal fittings. Overall, PK 9518.100 offers a cost-effective, future-proof solution for rugged industrial control cabinets and process instrumentation.
