Big Red Box - Enclosure

The Big Red Box from Sparkfun is a robust, eye-catching red plastic enclosure designed to provide your devices with the protection they need while also making them stand out. Commonly used for housing radio equipment or antenna baluns, these boxes can be easily affixed to a pole with U-bolts (not included). The box measures 74x158x90mm and has a thickness of around 3mm, providing ample space for a variety of devices and components. The mounting flanges extend 19mm from either edge, with two 7mm diameter holes spaced 50mm apart.

The Big Red Box is designed with a rubber gasket around the inside of the lid, providing a dust and moisture-resistant seal when the screws are tightened. This feature makes the box essentially weatherproof and waterproof, ensuring your devices are safe from the elements. The lid can be securely fastened with six 4mm screws, which are included with the box.

As a Sparkfun product, the Big Red Box is backed by a wealth of resources. A dimensional drawing is available to provide specific details about the size and layout of the box. Additionally, a Reaction Timer Tutorial can provide inspiration for how to use the box in a project.

The Big Red Box is not just a functional enclosure, but also a statement piece. Its bright red color and robust design make it a standout addition to any project. Whether you're an electronics hobbyist or a professional, the Big Red Box can provide the protection your devices need while also adding a splash of color to your work.
