PCB installation in the MCS electronics housing for sensor applications and IIoT applications

Safe operation with the right degree of protection

The electronics housings are available in IP40 or IP65/IP67 versions for coordination with the respective application. This means that even demanding requirements in building technology and industry can be met.

Convenient operation during device installation and device maintenance

The housing achieves its convenient operation through design details such as the special hinges, which can even be retrofitted. Once these hinges are installed, the housing can open like a fan. The cover remains connected, your hands stay free.

Flexible mounting

The housing can be mounted in a range of ways. By optionally combining it with an adapter plate, the electronics housing can be latched securely and tool-free on aluminum extrusions, flush-mounted sockets, masts, walls, and even DIN rails.

Individualized product selection

The modular system enables individual, tailored housings. The process includes selecting from various factors such as IP degree of protection, size, color, and cover versions in the configurator. The housing is supplemented by additional accessories.

Optimized PCB installation

Installation of the PCB in a nearly horizontal orientation is possible due to the angled housing edge. Preassembled connectors thus slide through the holes in the housing. Positive effect: the connection technology can be easily sealed on the tall side panel. The base area can therefore be used almost completely for the PCB.

FAQs The answers to a number of questions are already available. Take a look at our FAQs.

Why is a permanently installed seal used?

The permanently installed seal provides proper closure. Plus, the seal stays on the housing and cannot be lost.

Is pressure compensation an option?

The pressure compensation element is already preinstalled for the housing versions that meet IP67/IP65.

How and where can I mount the housing?

The housing can be mounted on walls, masts, aluminum extrusions, or even DIN rails. An optional adapter plate makes this possible.

How is the housing mounted to or removed from the adapter plate?

Mounting is tool-free. The housing is latched onto the adapter plate during mounting. You can also secure the housing with screws (can be ordered separately). To remove the housing, remove the screws (if used) and use a screwdriver or similar to lever out the latchings over the recesses of the adapter plate.

What are the color options and additional customization options?

You can create your individual housings using the modular system. Several RAL colors are available. In addition, different frame versions and other accessories can be combined with versatility. Ask about other customer-specific customization options.
