Electronic enclosures are specialized housings designed to contain and protect electronic components, circuit boards, and systems from environmental factors and physical damage. Some are designed for outdoor use and factory washdowns. Others are designed for dry indoor locations. More than mere boxes, these engineered structures serve as the physical interface between your sensitive electronics and the outside world.
Electronic enclosures are available from stock in a wide range of sizes and styles to suit specific applications. This avoids the high cost of custom manufacturing. The enclosures are available in plastic, steel, and aluminum. Bud will modify enclosures with custom holes and cutouts to your specifications.
For handheld devices, cabinet installations, and desktop equipment, enclosures transform circuit boards and electrical components into reliable products ready for deployment in applications ranging from medical devices to industrial controls and from IT to consumer electronics.
The primary purpose of an electronic enclosure is protection. It provides mounting for circuit boards and electrical components while safeguarding them from inadvertent contact, dust accumulation, and minor spills and impacts. Waterproof and weatherproof enclosures are available as well (see our NEMA- and IP-rated enclosures). Additionally, an enclosure enhances user safety by isolating potentially hazardous voltages, and it provides mounting points for switches, displays, and connectors.
Enclosures enhance product functionality. General-use enclosures are available in different styles for this reason. There are models for fiber-optic cables, terminal blocks, ergonomics, easy access, battery compartments, gaming, tablets, and more. There are models for DIN-rail mounting, wall mounting, and rack-mounting.
Another purpose of an enclosure is to make the product stand out in the marketplace. We can print custom full-color graphics on your enclosure and provide custom color plastics and powder coating.
Electrical enclosures can be expensive because of the high cost of meeting the necessary standards. IP and NEMA ratings assure buyers that the enclosure will protect users against accidental contact with energized components and will protect components from dust, airborne metal shavings, and moisture that can cause arcing. The cost of quality electrical enclosures reflects their true value as engineered solutions rather than simple containers.
On the other hand, enclosures for electronics often do not need to meet the high protection ratings of electrical installations. Even when they do, there are ways to minimize costs. For example, a standard enclosure avoids the high cost of custom manufacturing small quantities.
Shop around. Bud Industries offers electronic enclosures at competitive pricing, often at lower prices. What’s more, along with our distributors, our extensive stocking allows us to offer faster delivery on most enclosure orders—many ship the same day. Delays in getting your product to market may cost you sales. Drop shipping with modifications made at the factory may be another cost-saver.
Above all, when evaluating enclosure pricing, consider the value of reliability and long service life. Really, that’s what you are buying.
