Pedal Enclosure Dimensions List

[Micpoc]

I'm working on a couple of stripboard projects that are going to require slightly larger enclosures than normal, and sometimes I find the shape and size range of available enclosures confusing, so I put this list together (with info from PPP) regarding the different varieties of boxes. Not sure if others will find it helpful, since most of us stick to one or two sizes, but I just thought I'd post it. They probably won't line up evenly, but you should get the basic idea. If anyone finds some I've missed (likely  ), let me know and I'll add them.

Hammond's website, with the values in tables. Even better, the values are available in millimeters as well (you may as well tell me it's three fifteenth of a pogo stick, if you're going to use inches. I comprehend 'em about as well.)

If you go back a level, Hammond also list their trapezoidal and octagonal enclosure dimensions as well. All the enclosures have links to PDF datasheets for each one.

Good info; thanks. I think some of these enclosures at PPP are not Hammond (125B?), and may not be in those tables.

This should be a sticky.
Google led me here...

Just an FYI,

This info is very useful for baseline measurements.  if you are doing something precise, like a label or laser etching, I highly recommend actually measuring the box.  This is particularly important for smaller enclosures like the 1590a.  I've found that the boxes can vary significantly (well, significantly for registration with laser etching at least).  There are a few main causes:

1.)  Different manufacturers have different box sizes.

2.)  There is a tolerance itself to the manufacturing of the boxes.  They are cheap cast aluminum boxes.

3.)  Finish can make a big difference, especially in the case of Pedal Parts Plus.  The finish sometimes pools at the bottom of the enclosure, making it wider.  It may not matter as much for labels, but for other things it can.

There's a bunch of dimensions on the Hammond spec sheets, for example in inches:

Inside dimension of 1590B: 1.063 H, 2.183 W, 4.215 L (lid lip reduces H to 0.984 around edge)
Dimension table from web page: 1.06 H, 2.38 W, 4.4 L

The length and width variance is troubling, it's over 1/8" (3mm) which is what I usually leave as clearance when I lay out an enclosure. That's why I've started scanning the face of the enclosure before I lay it out... with different vendors and different specs thrown around it's hard to know what to expect.

I'm with alanp. You might as well be speaking Arabic when you mention imperial measurements. In fact Arabic makes more sense as I can at least decipher that. This is one area where our anglosaxon friends have some advantage as they seem to be taught both imperial and metric, whereas the rest of us are only taught metric.

This is quite handy when shopping for new/different sized enclosures:

And it defaults to giving dimensions in new money (mm), but imperial can be toggled too.

Thanks for the tip.

I have never come across that site. Thanks a lot for sharing. Very useful to have it all in one place like that.

There can also be variance in your drilling sometimes. I've taken to using a flat-bed scanner to scan the face of an enclosure and using that to design a label/graphic template on. I do this after drilling and paint so that I can be sure the labels will line up.
