Features
• Red Aluminum Housings
• Easy Assembly and Disassembly
• Enclosures are Stackable with EC1UA Adapters
The EC1U enclosure design has been optimized for simple assembly, disassembly, and integration. The enclosure consists of three pieces: a bottom/front piece with four interior M3 blind standoffs and an M4 grounding screw, a flanged top with cutouts for mounting to an imperial or metric breadboard or optical table, and a bezel that secures both pieces together using two screws. The front and rear panels of the enclosure are blank; input and output ports can be added by the user depending on the application.
Enclosures can be easily stacked on top of one another using the EC1UA mounting adapters, sold below. Alternatively, the ends of Ø1/2" or Ø12.7 mm optical posts can be used to secure the enclosure flanges by positioning the post screws in the flange slots. This clamps each flange between either the optical table and the bottom of a post, or between the endface of two posts.
Thorlabs offers the capability to make custom enclosures using laser cutting, riveting, UV printing, and more. Contact Tech Support for more information on building a custom flanged benchtop enclosure.
