SHR-95-BLK Specifications and Features - Product Overview

Overview

This page summarises the common specifications and practical features to check when evaluating the SHR-95-BLK. Whether you are a student building a prototype, a maker finishing a small control box, or a procurement officer specifying enclosures for low-volume projects, the SHR-95-BLK should be assessed for fit, mounting, materials, and accessory compatibility before purchase. For exact measurements and the official datasheet, confirm the product page or downloadable datasheet linked in Sources.

Typical use cases

• Small embedded controllers, sensor hubs or single-board computer housings.
• Prototype electronics where front-panel access or wall mounting is required.
• Education labs and student projects requiring a neat, black finished enclosure.

Key specification areas to review

• External dimensions and internal usable volume (to confirm PCB and connector clearance).
• Material and finish (thermal behaviour, ease of machining/drilling, and cosmetic appearance).
• Mounting options: DIN-rail clips, wall flanges, or PCB standoffs.
• Entry points: cable glands, knockouts, and cutout patterns for connectors.
• Sealing and environmental considerations (note: check datasheet for IP or sealing details).

Features and practical selection advice

Material and finish considerations

If the SHR-95-BLK is supplied in a black ABS or polycarbonate, expect straightforward machining with standard hobby tools and ease of painting or labelling. Aluminium versions provide improved heat spreading for small power electronics but require different fastening hardware. Confirm the exact material on the product page before ordering to match tooling and thermal needs.

Mounting, access and internal layout

Look for internal PCB standoffs and pre-formed cable entry points. If your board uses tall connectors (e.g., USB-A, barrel jack) measure from PCB plane to the planned cutout to avoid interference. For wall-mounted applications, verify hole centres and whether mounting screws are included.

Cutouts, glands and front panels

Common customisations include machining cutouts for displays, push-buttons, and cable glands. Where repeatability is required (teaching labs or small production runs), request a drilling template or upload your front-panel DXF to a local fabrication service. Communica stocks cable glands, rubber grommets and panel screws to finish builds neatly.

Accessory bundles and compatibility

• Check for compatible PCB standoffs, screws and rubber feet in the same product family.
• Consider ordered bundles: enclosure + gasket + mounting kit to save sourcing time.
• Confirm whether transparent lids, vent options or DIN-rail clips are sold separately.

Estimating cost and procurement notes (South Africa)

Prices for standard enclosures vary by material and quantity. For small orders, expect single-unit pricing; for classroom packs or small production runs, request a quote as per- unit cost may drop. All prices shown on Communica are in ZAR and include VAT where applicable on checkout pages. Lead times depend on local stock - check the Samrand listing or branch stock check before placing a purchase order.

Compatibility checklist before you buy

• Measure your PCB and component heights; add 5-10 mm for wiring strain relief.
• Confirm screw sizes and standoff thread types to avoid last-minute rework.
• Plan cable entry: direct soldering vs. removable connectors influences cutout size.
• For educational use, choose versions that allow easy rework and safe access to connectors.
