BNC Feedthrough Housing
The ET1 tube housing has a male BNC connector on one side and a female BNC connector on the other side. This in-line feedthrough housing is ideal for simple circuits made from a small number of standard electronic components or more complex circuits built with surface-mounted elements on a small printed circuit board (PCB).

The slotted body of the EEA14 housing is shown here with the EEAPCB1 Customizable PCB (shown with electrical elements, not included) partially inserted into it.
Extruded Aluminum Housings
For modules that require more space, extruded aluminum housings in several sizes up to 1.75" x 2.25" x 4.00" are available. These housings are slotted inside to accept printed circuit boards and are offered with blank end plates, female BNC connectors, or female SMA connectors. Housings are also available with a removable side plate. For detailed dimensions of the housings, please click on either the red Docs icons () or the blue icons (
) below.
Extra end plates and screws are available for many of the housings sold below. We offer blank end plates and end plates with female BNC or female SMA connectors for all sizes of extruded aluminum housings below, as well as end plates with FC/PC, FC/APC, or SMA fiber bulkheads for the EEB 1.00" x 2.25" housings.
Thorlabs also offers streak-free black silicone rubber bezels to provide protection from scratches and surfaces with higher friction than the extrusion's exterior. All bezels are secured by fitting them between the end plate and the extrusion. Aluminum side clamps are available to mount the housings. The clamps have a #8 (M4) counterbore, which allows them to be mounted to a Ø1/2" post or other surface with an 8-32 (M4) tap. Alternatively, double-sided plastic clamps are available to mount a housing on top of another housing for a secure, compact setup.
In addition to the BNC feedthrough and extruded aluminum housings below, enclosures for larger electronics systems are also available. Options include customizable benchtop enclosures, a flanged benchtop enclosure designed for easy assembly, and 19" rack enclosures for electronics for use with 19" equipment racks.

 (posted 2023-07-20 05:01:12.0) Thank you for your feedback! I have submitted this request internally as a potential future stock offering. user
 (posted 2019-07-20 17:57:03.09) Why is it so expensive? I'd like to buy a number of these but at $48 it doesn't make sense to do so. Let me know if there's a cheaper option. Right now there are filters with these enclosures that cost $4 more than what you're charging.
Thanks,
Nick YLohia
 (posted 2019-07-23 02:41:15.0) Hello, the cost of manufacturing is the reason for the price (especially given that that output connector is a specialty item). The filters being referred to that utilize this ET1 housing are sold for $69.86/pc (as of 7/23) as opposed to the sale price of $48.33/pc for just the housing (ET1). Unfortunately, we do not offer alternative solutions for this at the moment. melanie
 (posted 2018-09-18 10:58:01.907) Can you please confirm that the housings are electrically isolated from the outer conductor on the BNC output and input ? I'm concerned about pick-up from eg power supplies.
This question applies to all the filters Thorlabs are marketing, as well as the custom housing.
I'm failrly confident your answer is "YES", but I just want to confirm. Thank you. YLohia
 (posted 2018-09-24 09:08:33.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The BNC case is directly and electrically connected to the body housing. ludoangot
 (posted 2016-12-27 17:36:04.707) The recent introduction of your side clamps for your housings prompts me to suggest a housing accepting a standard arduino uno board and some side clamps which could fit your 30mm and 60mm cage system. Arduino is likely used by some of your customers alongside Thorlabs opto-mechanical elements (I am one of them), and a dedicated housing with cage clamps would be much welcome. tfrisch
 (posted 2016-12-27 02:57:02.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I have posted this feedback in our internal engineering forum. |

ET1 Housing with an RC Circuit Made from Standard Electronic Elements (Not Included)
- Ø0.63" × 2.61" In-Line BNC Feedthrough Housing
- Compatible with Off-the-Shelf Electronic Elements
- Accepts 10 mm x 15 mm PCB
- Male and Female BNC Connectors
- Blank Area to Label Custom Circuits
The ET1 tube housing is an in-line (feedthrough) BNC structure with a male BNC connector on one side and a female BNC connector on the other side (as shown in the image to the right). The 2-56 screw in the base provides a convenient connection to ground, and the compact design can easily house a small number of standard electronic elements (e.g., resistors, capacitors, etc.). The image to the right shows the ET1 with a simple RC filter using standard circuit elements.
The ET1 electronic housing can hold a small (10 mm × 15 mm) form factor PCB that, using surface mounted elements, allows for the inclusion of many electronic elements. For example, Thorlabs' low- and high-pass filters (which were the basis for the ET1) house 5th and 6th order elliptical filters composed of anywhere from 8 to 15 electronic elements. The back side of the enclosure includes a blank label for identifying custom circuits. For detailed dimensions, click on the Docs icon () below.

Bezel Dimensions
These rubber bezels attach to the rectangular electronics housings sold above. Once secured to the appropriate housing, they protect the extrusion and end plates from general wear on the sides and provide surfaces with higher friction than the extrusion's exterior. Each bezel has a lip that is sandwiched between the end plate and extrusion edge; the four screws used to attached the end plate to the extrusion pass through holes in the lip to secure the bezel in place. Compared to a bezel that would simply slip over the end plate's exterior, this design leaves more usable space across the end plate surface and prevents the bezels from being accidentally removed from the extrusions.
These bezels are sold in pairs and are available in five sizes; see the table below for compatibility.

These anodized aluminum clamps provide secure mounting for the rectangular electronics housings sold above. Five sizes of clamps are available, and each is designed to fit on one side of the housing; see the table below for compatibility. The clamp can snap onto the side of the appropriate housing and the flexure lock can be tightened using the 2 mm (5/64") hex locking screw on the side.
Each clamp has at least one #8 (M4) counterbore on the bottom; the ECM225 has three and the ECM325 has five counterbores. The counterbores allow the clamps to be mounted on a Ø1/2" post or any surface with an 8-32 (M4) tap. The clamp must be mounted via the counterbore before the electronics housing is attached, as the counterbore will not be accessible once the housing is secured in the clamp.
