Why choose locally stocked enclosures

From hobby enclosures for Raspberry Pi and Arduino builds to professional instrument cases and component organisers for labs, our stock covers the patterns and sizes most often requested by South African customers. Browse categories to match purpose and size: Shop by Category.

Quick selection checklist

• Material: ABS for general use, polycarbonate for higher impact resistance, aluminium for rugged cases.
• Size & internal fit: allow clearance for connectors, mounting hardware and cable routing.
• Mounting options: PCB standoffs, DIN-rail clips or panel mount faces.
• Ingress & sealing: check gasketed options if moisture resistance is needed.

Specification comparison

Use this quick spec table to compare common enclosure types in stock.

Sizing and simple volume calculation

Estimate internal volume to check fit: Volume = length × width × height (mm). For example, a 150×100×60 mm box has 900,000 mm3 or 900 cm3. Allow ~10-20% extra space for connectors and cable bends.

Compatibility, accessories and assembly tips

Match enclosures to your electronics by checking PCB dimensions, connector clearances and ventilation needs. Common accessories we stock locally include foam inserts, PCB mounts, cable glands, panel seals and silicone gaskets to improve fit and finish. For data-logger or IoT enclosures, consider mounting options for antennas and sensors.

Troubleshooting common issues

• Too-small box: measure with connectors attached and add clearance for cables.
• Poor ventilation: add vents or use a larger case for heat-generating components.
• Difficult mounting: use PCB standoffs or modify with pre-cut panels available for many boxes.
