SA-SERIES 5U aluminium enclosure

This SA-SERIES 5U enclosure is a general-purpose electronic box built from AL 5052 aluminium. It measures 219 by 279 by 305 mm externally and provides 215 by 259 by 285 mm of internal space. The slate grey finish suits industrial and hobbyist projects alike. Only four M3 screws are required to assemble the flat-packed kit.

Open-frame design for custom access

Builders who need quick, tool-light access to internals will value the open-frame layout and removable front and rear panels. Two extruded mounting bars are included for component fixing. Buyers requiring a sealed, weatherproof housing or pre-threaded motherboard standoffs should look at a different enclosure class.

IEC 60297-1 compliant 5U height

The enclosure conforms to IEC 60297-1, confirming a standard 5U rack height for cabinet integration. Internal height reduces by 10 mm when one cover is fitted and by 20 mm when both top and bottom covers are installed. This single dimensional constraint determines whether your assembly fits.

Questions about this item

Will my existing IEC 60297-1 rack shelves fit inside the 215 x 259 x 285 mm interior?

The enclosure conforms to IEC 60297-1, so standard 19-inch rack shelves that meet the same standard will align with the internal width and depth; verify your shelf depth against the 285 mm usable depth.

How can I confirm the open-frame assembly is square and rigid after tightening the four M3-6 screws?

Check that the front and rear panels sit flush with the side frames, the top and bottom covers close without gaps, and the unit stands level on the four rubber feet with no visible twist.

Do I need to buy extra mounting hardware for my PCB, or are the two included AL 5052 component-mount bars enough?

The kit supplies two extruded aluminum component-mount bars and four M4-8 dog-point screws for them; additional standoffs or brackets for your specific PCB must be sourced separately.
