Compact Box with Mounting Flange for 1/16 DIN Controller and Timer

This project box can house a 1/16 DIN-sized controller or timer. It protects the wiring terminals from accidental contact and helps prevent dust from entering the enclosure.

The front panel has a 45 x 45 mm pre-cut opening that fits our 1/16 DIN-sized controllers. Both the front and back panels have mounting flanges. The top cover can be slid open after removing the screws on the front and back panels. The box is made of aluminum with either a silver or black powder-coated finish.

The black version of this box has a 1/4" hole with a rubber grommet on the back panel, making it easier for users to route wires to the controller.

This box has a low-profile, compact design, making it suitable for housing Auber controllers and gauges such as the SYL-2362, SYL-2362B, ASL-51, and ASL-52.

Other Auber controllers and gauges with mounting brackets, such as the SYL-2352, SYL-2342, SYL-2372, AW-SYL-2352, SYL-23x2P, SYL-2381, SYL-2802, and EZboil series controllers, cannot be installed in this box in the normal orientation because of the size of their mounting brackets. Our CBox16-HP can be used to house these controllers with brackets. 

However, if the application allows the box to be mounted sideways, such as on the side of a freezer or insulated oven, this box can still be used with these controllers by rotating the box 90 degrees.

An SYL-2362 without a mounting bracket can be installed in the CBox16 in the normal orientation (left), while an SYL-2342 with a mounting bracket can only be installed with the box rotated 90 degrees (right).

One application of this box is to house Auber's SYL-2342 for freezer temperature control. Since most freezers draw less than 10 A, the controller's internal relay can be used to drive the compressor directly. The box can be mounted on the side wall of the freezer.

This box does not have enough space to accommodate a standard-size contactor or SSR. For applications that require an external SSR, please see our Pbox16-D, which can house both a 1/16 DIN PID controller and a standard-size SSR.
