Transformers enclosures

Nounours18200 · 23rd June 2011, 08:20 AM

Hi friends,

I am desperatly looking for a place where I could buy transformer enclosures, such as the one shown in the photo herebelow:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I am not looking for this specific one (it is just for the example) my transformer is 150mm x 86mm. The dream would be to find a place having different sizes of enclosures .

Any suggestion ?

Tks

Perhaps something at VT4C.com would do: Audio Catalog

good site, but it is limited to small size transformers : 80mm max for a toroidal transformer.

Mine is 150mm x 86mm...

I need a much bigger cover !

, bonus? nice satin finish...

What a pity. Your transformer is just a hair larger than these....

Maybe email them to see if they may have something larger?

Looks like a lot of thought went into the design of that product line. Out of curiosity - wouldn't they be more effective if they included filtered and shielded pass-through connectors for the transformers' power leads?
