Peli 1200 and 1300 Panel Frame for Mounting Buttons, Manipulators and Screens

The Peli 1200PF Panel Frame Kit turns your Peli 1200EU or 1300EU Protector Case into a proper field-ready electronics enclosure. Instead of drilling improvised holes or using cable glands that break the seal, you get a precision-engineered mounting solution that installs flush with the case rim — maintaining watertight integrity while giving you a clean, professional interface for connectors, screens, buttons and custom electronics.

What Is the Panel Frame and How Does It Work?

The 1200PF Panel Frame Kit is an OEM Peli accessory designed to integrate a custom-built interface panel into the front of a Peli 1200EU or 1300EU case. The frame mounts rigidly to the case body and accepts a panel cut to size, holding it flush with the rim of the case opening. A polymer O-ring seals the interface between the panel and the case, so the assembly stays watertight even when cables are routed through connectors in the panel.

This approach is preferred by engineers and system integrators who need a repeatable, IP-rated installation. Unlike ad-hoc drilling or aftermarket grommets, the OEM frame ensures the case geometry is preserved and the lid still closes and latches correctly after the panel is fitted.

Compatibility and Specifications

The 1200PF Panel Frame (SKU: 1200-300-110E) is compatible with two Peli Protector Case models:

• Peli 1200EU — internal dimensions 22.9 × 17.8 × 10.6 cm
• Peli 1300EU — internal dimensions 27.3 × 17.8 × 10.6 cm (wider body, same depth)

The panel frame is colour-matched to the standard case colour (black) and manufactured from the same high-impact copolymer as the case itself, ensuring consistent durability and a professional finish. It is designed for single-use installation, though the mounting hardware allows careful reinstallation if panels need to be swapped during a system lifecycle.

What Is Included in the Kit?

The 1200-300-110E kit ships complete with everything needed for a clean installation:

• Panel Frame bracket — the structural mounting element that clips into the case body
• Polymer O-ring — provides the watertight seal between the interface panel and the frame
• Fasteners — stainless steel hardware included for secure panel retention

No additional hardware is required beyond a custom-cut panel suited to your application. Panel material is typically FR4 fiberglass, aluminium or stainless steel depending on the use case — sourced separately based on your interface requirements.

Typical Applications

The compact dimensions of the Peli 1200 and 1300 make them ideal for applications where portability is critical but the equipment inside still demands robust IP-rated protection:

• Portable measurement and calibration equipment — fit BNC connectors, banana plugs or USB ports for quick connection without opening the lid
• Field communications kits — route antenna cables, headset jacks and power inputs through the panel while keeping internal electronics sealed
• Industrial data loggers — external sensor inputs and data download ports on the panel, recorder sealed inside
• Custom carry-on electronics enclosures — professional-looking portable stations for demonstrations, testing or training

If you are building a system where the Peli 1200 or 1300 is the chosen enclosure, the 1200PF Panel Frame is the right starting point — it keeps the build clean, the seal intact, and the interface exactly where you need it.
