Industrial enclosures are vital to protecting vulnerable areas of electrical architecture such as terminals and junctions through to sensitive equipment. These housings can sometimes be treated as a commodity product, yet failure to properly specify can result in downtime – or even potential safety concerns. Instead, industrial enclosures demand close consideration in design and manufacture to achieve long-term reliability.
No two enclosures are the same. PBSI’s sister title DPA recently got the chance to visit Hammond Manufacturing’s site in Basingstoke and gain a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day running of the company.

With that in mind, the PBSI team applied extra shoe leather to take a tour around the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2025 show at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre.
The need to add numerous apertures to every box could strain your resources and introduce the risk of costly mistakes. Also, bear in mind that stainless steel is a difficult material to work.
Hammond’s 1551 family of miniature plastic enclosures consists of a total of 48 different versions, offering versions for general-purpose, specialist applications and aggressive environment uses.
