What is considered important when it comes to choosing the right PCB enclosure. Let us guide you through the process.<\/p>\n

Price? Style? Service & support? Reputation of the supplier?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the matter of fact, all of above are essential. The engineers should select the enclosure at first and then choice the mechanical & electronic components to suit the enclosure.
\nWe need to consider<\/p>\n

Material<\/strong>
\nThe 3 common plastic enclosures are ABS, Polycarbonate, Polyester which are high functionality, light weight, flexible in design.<\/p>\n

The Ingress Protection<\/strong>
\nThe ingress protection classification DIN EN 60529 determines and rates protection against solid particle (e.g. dust) as well as liquid incursion.<\/p>\n

The letters IP (ingress protection) is followed by a two-digit number; the first digit indicates the level of Solid particle protection and the second digit indicate Liquid ingress protection. IP Code<\/a><\/p>\n

Environmental Considerations<\/strong>
\nHow the enclosure will last over many years of operation depends on how well you evaluate the environmental impact of elements such as UV rays, temperature, airborne debris, etc.
\nDifferent materials offer varying degrees of impact resistance.<\/p>\n

Dimensions<\/strong>
\nThe internal and external dimensions of a PCB enclosure is extremely important. Sadly, in many cases, the PCB is chosen first and this makes it difficult for the engineer to source the best fit enclosure solution.<\/p>\n

Modification of Standard Enclosures<\/strong>
\nThe enclosure supplier may need to support modifications with value-added services that include drilling, milling, printing, color, etc. Some suppliers can even provide advance services like fitting membrane keypads, displays on the enclosure, etc as a complete solution.<\/p>\n

Ease of Assembly<\/strong>
\nA complex PCB design may make it difficult to assemble electronic and mechanical components in the enclosure, which make is an important point to consider when selecting an enclosure.<\/p>\n
