Enclosure

An enclosure is a protective housing or case that contains and shields electronic components, circuits, or complete systems from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, physical damage, and electromagnetic interference. It provides structural support, thermal management, and safety isolation while allowing access through openings for connectors, displays, controls, or ventilation. Enclosures come in various materials like plastic, metal, or composites, and are designed to meet specific protection standards (IP ratings) based on the application's requirements.
