Altech Corporation has redesigned select enclosure families to include metric knockouts that meet EN50262 standard. The EN50262 standard was established by The Cenelec European Committee to standardize European thread sizes.
Metric knockouts enable the installation of cables, cord grips, conduit adapters and entry spouts, while maintaining a sealed enclosure with protected components. The knockouts are factory molded and are removed easily and quickly after scoring. The new metric knockouts are available in Abox, AK, AKL and Nautic enclosure families with sizes ranging from 2.56x2.56 inches up to 35.43x11.81 inches. Metric knockouts are also available upon request for the versatile TK Series.
The attractive, modern design and shape of the Abox features sidewall and backside knockouts for optimum installation space in tough, industrial environments. The AK Series offers an increased capacity for mounting components with its shrouded cut out cover and transparent reversible hinged doors.
AKL enclosures feature smooth exterior wall and knockout patterns on the inside, with identical tops and bottoms. Nautic Junction Boxes, supplied complete with terminal blocks, withstand harsh environmental conditions including extreme temperatures (up to 120 degrees C), ultra violet rays and sea air and salt-water weathering.
All metric knockout enclosures feature integral lid seals that guarantee IP 65 protection with the use of appropriate cord grips. Abox, AKand AKL enclosures are constructed of flame and impact resistant polystyrene, while Nautic enclosures are constructed of glass reinforced polycarbonate.
