Deep drawn enclosure with integrated heatsink and fastening details

摘要

A weather resistant cabinet for housing electrical equipment includes a one-piece, unitary tubular housing. The tubular housing has two open ends and is preferably formed from aluminum using a deep-drawing process. Two covers are attached to the two open ends of the tubular housing. The two covers include heat sinks and are preferably formed from aluminum using an extruding process. The covers are attached to the tubular housing using either mechanical fasteners and a gasket, or by a dip-brazing process.
