March 7, 2025
Bud Industries has recently expanded its line of electronic enclosures with the introduction of the PNB Series IP67 Plastic Boxes with Knockouts. These enclosures are designed to provide reliable protection for electronic components in various industrial environments, offering a blend of durability, affordability, and user-friendly features.
Key Features of the PNB Series:
- IP67 Protection: The PNB series enclosures are rated IP67, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and safeguarding against water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for use in harsh and corrosive industrial settings where exposure to moisture and particulates is a concern.
- Durable Construction: Constructed from high-quality ABS plastic, these enclosures offer high impact resistance while remaining lightweight. This material choice provides a cost-effective alternative to polycarbonate enclosures without compromising on strength.
- User-Friendly Knockouts: Each enclosure comes with either two or four pre-molded knockouts that are easy to remove, facilitating quick and efficient installation of cables and connectors. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring multiple entry points, such as junction boxes or housings for control and Wi-Fi devices.
- Secure Mounting and Increased Internal Space: The PNB series features a unique two-point external wall mounting system. This design not only ensures secure installation but also maximizes the usable internal space, allowing for more efficient component layout.
- Cover Options: To accommodate various application needs, the enclosures are available with either opaque or clear polycarbonate covers. The clear cover option is ideal for situations where visual monitoring of internal components is necessary without compromising protection.
- Temperature Resilience: These enclosures are designed to perform in a wide temperature range, with the ABS body rated from -40°C to +70°C and the clear polycarbonate cover rated up to +110°C. This ensures reliable performance in diverse environmental conditions.
