Whether you're on an archaeological adventure or exploring nuclear - affected areas, this heavy - duty enclosure is a must - have for your project. It's weatherproof, featuring a tough polycarbonate cover and a built - in gasket seal. Store your project securely in this flanged weatherproof enclosure. The machinable ABS plastic body, four mounting holes, and easy - open screws are great features. You can take it apart as many times as you want without fear of cracking or stripping. Similar to our other weatherproof enclosures, it has mounting flanges with holes for easy attachment. It comes with two built - in PG - 7 cable glands, allowing weather - tight cables of 0.118' - 0.169' diameter to enter or leave the enclosure while keeping dust out. Check out the great tutorial by Adafruit Best - Friend - Forever (BFF) Akiba at Freaklabs.org on using cable glands. The enclosure measures 100 x 68 x 36mm externally, fitting an Adafruit Metro, Raspberry Pi Zero, Feather, or a half - size Perma - Proto, but not larger Raspberry Pi models with USB and Ethernet jacks.
Using this flanged weatherproof enclosure is easy. First, decide where you want to mount it. You can use the four mounting holes on the flanges for a secure attachment. Then, open the enclosure using the easy - open screws. Place your Adafruit Metro, Raspberry Pi Zero, Feather, or half - size Perma - Proto inside. When connecting cables, use the two built - in PG - 7 cable glands. Make sure the cables have a diameter between 0.118' and 0.169'. When taking the enclosure apart and putting it back together, don't worry about the screws cracking or stripping. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. If it gets wet, let it dry thoroughly. Also, check the gasket seal regularly to ensure it's still working well to keep the enclosure weatherproof.
