The Hammond 1555F2F42GY is a compact flanged outdoor enclosure made from UV-stabilized polycarbonate and designed for harsh environments. With its watertight construction, silicone gasket seal, and robust wall-mount flanges, it is a strong choice for RF control boxes, remote interfaces, outdoor bias-T systems, compact switching projects, and other weather-exposed electronics.

Why This Enclosure Works Well for RF Projects
- UV-stabilized polycarbonate is suitable for outdoor use
- Silicone gasket and tongue-and-groove sealing help keep out water, dust, and oil
- Wall-mount flanges make it easy to install on masts, panels, or exterior structures
- Recessed lid area is useful for labels, markings, or membrane overlays
- Stainless lid screws and corrosion-resistant inserts support repeated opening and servicing
Typical Applications
- Outdoor RF switch and relay enclosures
- Bias-T and preamp interface housings
- Active antenna controller boxes
- Remote sensor and telemetry enclosures
- Compact weather-resistant projects requiring cable glands or bulkhead connectors
Practical Notes
This is a bare enclosure, giving you freedom to machine it for SO-239, N, BNC, cable glands, DC feed-throughs, or custom front-panel hardware. The flanged mounting style also makes it easier to keep connectors and cable exits clear of the mounting surface.
For outdoor RF builds, proper drilling, gland selection, and connector sealing still matter. The enclosure can be highly weather resistant, but final performance depends on the way the finished assembly is built.
