BCL Enclosures has expanded its PBL Series of flanged enclosures, said to be well suited for small assemblies or potting box applications to provide protection for small electrical systems. The flanged system assists with surface mounting and the Series can also be used to house and mount small PCBs, or be used as potting boxes.
The general purpose expanded PBL Series is moulded in ABS to deliver a combination of strength and durability, and there are three variants in the Series. PBL2 and PBL3 are general boxes with bases, available in black or white as standard: the base is loose fitting and can be secured in place by clamping to a panel or bulkhead. For applications requiring a tamperproof housing, the base can also be riveted to the box, protecting the contents from casual interference.
PBL7 is a flanged enclosure in black ABS featuring a separate self-locking base and seven numbered slots to take wires or 0.25" PCB mounting blades. There is also a raised panel to take labels for easy identification of contents and other information. Measuring 100mm × 95mm × 42mm high, it is a smart solution for design-critical applications. The third option in the PBL series is a range of models with fixing flanges, bases and slotted mounting lugs. Designed originally for automotive applications, this range is moulded in black with slotted lugs to enable simple fixing. Three versions, PBL04, PBL06 and PBL1 are designed for an interference push fit, but can also be bonded to provide a secure housing. On the larger PBL08 and PBL09 models, the base is retained with the four stainless steel screws provided. Like the other standard enclosures in the range offered by BCL, the PBL Series can also easily be punched or drilled to suit individual uses, and BCL Enclosures says that it specialises in customisation. Although all the products mentioned here are moulded in black ABS as standard, other colours and materials are available upon request.
