Selecting the right electronic enclosure starts with understanding your project's environment, rating requirements, and any enclosure "must-haves." Whether you're building an indoor control system, deploying outdoor monitoring equipment, or protecting sensitive electronics in harsh industrial conditions, Polycase offers enclosure solutions designed for a wide range of applications and industries.

Plastic Enclosures

Plastic enclosures are a popular choice for electronics, sensors, automation controls, and networking devices thanks to their lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, and modification flexibility. Polycase offers both indoor ABS and outdoor polycarbonate materials, with options available in gray, black, and white.

Indoor ABS enclosures are commonly used for A/V equipment, temperature controls, automotive applications, and surge suppression. For more demanding outdoor environments, polycarbonate enclosures provide increased impact resistance and durability, making them ideal for telecommunications, agricultural technology, wastewater management, and electrical applications.

Plastic enclosure sizes range from compact 1" x 1" x 0.7" potting boxes to large 32" x 24" x 7" industrial control enclosures.

Common applications:

• IoT and wireless sensors
• Building and industrial automation
• Controls, sensors and remote monitoring
• Communications equipment
• Audio/video/lighting devices
• Security and surveillance systems

Metal Enclosures

Metal enclosures are frequently selected for medical equipment, manufacturing systems, and transportation infrastructure applications. Polycase offers diecast aluminum, extruded aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel options suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Metal enclosures provide an inherent level of EMI/RFI shielding benefits, making them ideal for applications that require minimal outside electromagnetic interference.

Sizing ranges from 2" x 3" x 1" to 24" x 24" x 10", and these enclosures are offered in black, gray, stainless steel, or natural aluminum finishes.

Common applications:

• Manufacturing equipment
• Healthcare/medical equipment and devices
• Oil and gas operations
• Transportation infrastructure
• SCADA and telemetry systems
• Aerospace and defense equipment

Waterproof Enclosures

Waterproof enclosures are designed to protect sensitive electronics from water, dust, dirt, and harsh outdoor conditions. These enclosures are commonly used in applications where equipment may be exposed to rain, washdowns, humidity, or temporary submersion. Polycase waterproof enclosures are available with NEMA and IP ratings that help match enclosure protection levels to specific environmental requirements.

Sizes range from small 2" x 2" x 1" to large 32" x 24" x 7". Waterproof electronic enclosures are available in aluminum, steel, polycarbonate, and ABS, with the color options including light gray, dark gray, black, stainless steel or natural aluminum finishes.

Common applications:

• Agricultural technology
• Marine electronics
• Water treatment equipment
• IoT, telecom, and 5G equipment
• Access control/security systems/cameras
• Alternative energy and EV charging stations
