This stainless steel single-cover low-profile housing for panel interface connectors is corrosion-resistant, providing protection against most acids, alkaline solutions and chlorine-bearing environments. The low-maintenance and easy-to-clean stainless steel is hygienic and does not support the growth of bacteria and other pathogens, making the housing suitable for environments requiring strict hygiene conditions. The low-profile housing protrudes from the side of the cabinet 75% less than standard metal housings, and the transparent polycarbonate cover allows users to see which components are within the enclosure. These enclosures provide an IP65 rating.
