LCD1U1080

Overview

The Hoffman LCD1U1080 is a general-purpose polycarbonate enclosure designed for protecting electronic components. It features a light gray finish and meets UL 94 V-2 flammability standards. The unit measures 4.13 inches in length, 2.95 inches in width, and 1.57 inches in height (104.9 mm x 74.9 mm x 39.9 mm). Constructed from durable polycarbonate material, it provides a lightweight yet robust housing solution for various industrial applications requiring standard environmental protection.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from impact-resistant polycarbonate material
• Features a light gray color scheme for both body and cover
• Meets UL 94 V-2 flammability rating requirements
• Designed as a general-purpose protective housing

Applications

• Protection of small electronic assemblies
• Housing for control circuitry components
• Industrial instrumentation enclosures
• General-purpose electrical component protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Hammond Manufacturing acquired Hoffman Enclosures. Ensure the part number corresponds to the specific polycarbonate model rather than metal alternatives. Confirm dimensional compatibility with your design constraints prior to ordering, as generic descriptions may vary across distributor listings.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-conductive, lightweight enclosure is required for low-to-medium duty environments. Polycarbonate offers better impact resistance than ABS but lacks the thermal dissipation of metal. Verify that the UL 94 V-2 rating meets your specific safety code requirements, as higher flame retardancy ratings may be necessary for certain regulated applications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman/LCD series of plastic enclosures. These units are widely used in automation and control panels where electrical isolation and corrosion resistance are prioritized over heat sinking capabilities. The series provides standardized dimensions for common PCB form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other polycarbonate enclosures with identical internal volume dimensions. Verify mounting hole patterns and lid retention mechanisms when cross-referencing with alternative brands such as Hammond or Panduit.
