Bopla yleiskotelo 240 x 120 x 102 mm polykarbonaatti vaaleanharmaa (RAL 7035) EM 242 62242000

Protecting sensitive electronics in harsh industrial environments demands a housing that combines durability, chemical resistance, and ease of installation. The Bopla EM 242 universal enclosure meets these challenges with a robust polycarbonate body and a light grey finish that blends into control cabinets and machinery.

Who is it for

This enclosure is built for electrical engineers, panel builders, and system integrators who need a reliable housing for DIN-rail components, terminal blocks, or custom PCBs in factory automation, HVAC, or outdoor applications where IP65 sealing is required.

Main features

• Polycarbonate construction offers high impact resistance (IK07) and good chemical resistance against oils, greases, alcohols, and weak acids/bases.
• Light grey colour (RAL 7035) provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for industrial equipment.
• External dimensions of 240 x 120 x 102 mm provide ample space for wiring and component layout.
• IP65 protection class ensures protection against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C allows use in extreme environments.
• Flammability rating UL 94 V-2 meets common safety requirements for plastic enclosures.
• Stainless steel lid screws and a polyurethane foam gasket ensure a secure, sealed closure.
• Internal mounting bosses allow easy installation of plates or DIN rails; external wall mounting is possible.
• Halogen-free and RoHS compliant for environmentally conscious projects.

Tips

When selecting a polycarbonate enclosure for outdoor use, consider additional UV protection if prolonged sunlight exposure is expected. For applications requiring frequent access, the stainless steel screws provide reliable repeated opening and closing without stripping. Always verify the internal dimensions against your component layout to ensure proper clearance.
