Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered structural component designed to house, protect, and thermally manage sensitive receiver/detector modules in measurement, communication, or sensing equipment. It provides electromagnetic shielding, mechanical protection, and environmental sealing while maintaining precise alignment of internal components.
Working Principle
The housing functions as a protective barrier that isolates sensitive electronic components from external environmental factors (moisture, dust, EMI/RFI interference, mechanical shock) while facilitating heat dissipation through designed thermal pathways. It maintains dimensional stability to ensure proper alignment of optical/electronic elements and provides mounting interfaces for integration into larger systems.
Materials
Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (primary), with optional EMI shielding gaskets (silicon rubber with embedded conductive particles) and thermal interface materials (silicone-based thermal pads)
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 300-500g
  • Mounting M4 threaded inserts (4x)
  • IP Rating IP65 minimum
  • Dimensions Varies by application (typical: 150x100x50mm)
  • EMI Shielding ≥40dB attenuation (30MHz-1GHz)
  • Surface Finish Anodized (Type II, 15-25μm)
  • Flatness Tolerance 0.1mm/m
  • Thermal Conductivity 167 W/m·K (aluminum)
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +85°C
Standards
ISO 9001, IEC 60529, MIL-STD-810G, RoHS

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key considerations when selecting a module housing?

Key factors include EMI/RFI shielding requirements, thermal management needs, environmental protection (IP rating), dimensional stability, material compatibility, and mounting/interfacing requirements with other system components.

Can module housings be customized for specific applications?

Yes, they are often custom-designed to match specific receiver/detector module dimensions, thermal profiles, and interface requirements. Modifications can include custom cutouts, mounting features, shielding configurations, and surface treatments.

How does the housing affect module performance?

Proper housing design prevents signal interference through EMI shielding, maintains component alignment through dimensional stability, prevents overheating through thermal management, and protects against environmental damage - all critical for reliable module operation.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
