Chambers & Enclosures
Electronic enclosures house a wide range of electronic equipment. They are a standard component in most industrial settings. These enclosures protect electrical and electronic components from moisture, chemicals and dust, which can damage the equipment permanently. Electronic enclosures are typically box-shaped and often have removable panels or doors to provide the easy access needed for maintenance and equipment modifications. The temperature and humidity within an electronic enclosure may also be controlled. Electronic enclosures can be as small as a pushbutton enclosure, which simply protects the surrounding area and wiring of a electrical push button, or as large as a room in which is housed large, sensitive computer networks and wiring. Wiring itself often needs to be enclosed in a protective enclosure, especially at the connection points of two or more types of wire or from the wire to the main equipment. These types of enclosures are called junction or terminal boxes.
