Mimic Components now distributes the Allbro range of SMC enclosures made from a sheet moulding compound that offers advantages over traditional steel enclosures. Although slightly more expensive than steel, they are more economical than stainless steel, which they are effective at replacing in many cases.
Environmentally friendly SMC contains no heavy metal, asbestos or halogen. The glass fibre used for reinforcing is thicker than 14 microns and is not hazardous to health. In outdoor conditions the temperature inside does not vary as much as with steel, i.e. it is cooler in the sun and warmer in the winter.
The ratings are generally quite high with an IP66 rating for indoor/outdoor application (including the windowed enclosures). The availability of an inside door and windowed front door extends the usefulness of these electrical boxes which can be locked, rendering the state of equipment inside viewable so that appropriate action can be taken as an added safety feature.
The enclosures are available with a normal circuit breaker cover sheet or a hinged lockable inner door, which is ideal for many applications where equipment needs to be insulated from users. In coastal conditions they offer an ideal alternative to stainless steel due to their low rust factor.
The door sealing uses an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) which is essentially the opposite of memory foam. This means the sealing of the lid has no ‘memory’ effect and thus gives a far better and longer lasting seal than in most other enclosures.
The system is modular with clip-in DIN rails and SMC chassis plates, all of which are available on requirement. Weight loading varies according to box sizes (larger boxes are available in either portrait or landscape) and a good range of sizes are available from 235/250 (w) x 310/350 (h) x 200 mm (d) to 906/1000 (w) x 706/800 (h) x 320 mm (d).
Apart from the box enclosures, Mimic Components also offers a full range of other Allbro products and accessories, such as resin insulators, relay systems, standard small distribution boxes and ready boxes at competitive prices.
