Peli 1520 Panel Frame for Mounting Buttons, Manipulators and Screens

The Peli 1520 case is already a trusted companion for engineers, technicians, and field operators around the world — but what if you could turn it into a fully integrated workstation or control panel housing? That is exactly what the Peli 1520PF Panel Frame Kit makes possible.

From Transport Case to Deployable Control Station

The Peli 1520PF is a precision-engineered mounting accessory designed specifically for the Peli 1520EU Protector Case. It allows custom interface panels — equipped with buttons, switches, connectors, manipulators, or display screens — to be mounted flush with the case rim. The result: your electronics are fully integrated into the case body, accessible from the outside, and still protected by the rugged Peli enclosure.

This kind of setup is widely used in defence, broadcast, oil & gas, emergency services, and industrial automation — anywhere a rugged yet accessible electronic interface is needed in the field. The panel frame effectively transforms a standard transport case into a deployable equipment station.

Practical Applications

The 1520PF is a favourite among system integrators and custom case builders. Typical use cases include:

• Field control panels — mount toggle switches, indicator lights, and connectors for portable command systems
• Broadcast and AV equipment — integrate XLR, BNC, or HDMI panel connectors into the case for rapid deployment
• Test and measurement rigs — create a self-contained testing station with external access to measurement ports
• Military and emergency comms — build rugged radio interfaces or tactical communication hubs that can be deployed without fully opening the case
• Industrial automation — house PLCs or control electronics in a watertight enclosure with external HMI panels

Whatever the application, the panel frame eliminates the need to fully open the case during operation, reducing exposure to dust, moisture, and physical damage.

Kit Contents and Installation

The Peli 1520PF Panel Frame Kit (SKU: 1520-301-110E) includes everything needed for a clean, secure installation:

• Panel frame mounting bracket — precisely machined to fit the 1520EU case rim
• Fasteners and hardware — all necessary screws and fixings are included
• Polymer o-ring — maintains the case's watertight seal even when a panel is installed, so IP67-class protection is not compromised

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tooling. The panel frame mounts into the case lid or base cutout, and custom panels are secured to the frame using standard fasteners. The included o-ring seats between the panel and the case wall, preserving the waterproof integrity of the Peli 1520 enclosure throughout repeated operational cycles.

Compatibility and Technical Details

The Peli 1520PF Panel Frame is designed exclusively for the Peli 1520EU Protector Case. Each Panel Frame Kit in the Peli range is model-specific to ensure a perfect fit and to maintain the case's full IP protection rating.

Peli produces Panel Frame Kits for a wide range of Protector and Air cases. If you need a panel frame for a different model, dedicated kits are available for the 1120, 1150, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1550, and 1600 series — each engineered to the same exacting standard as the 1520PF.

The polymer construction of the frame and o-ring is resistant to UV exposure, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, consistent with Peli's performance standards across its Protector Case line. Once installed, the panel frame supports repeated access without any degradation of the seal or the mounting interface.

Genuine OEM Part — Peli Lifetime Guarantee

The Peli 1520PF is a genuine OEM accessory, not an aftermarket alternative. It is designed and tested to the same exacting standards as the Peli 1520 case itself, ensuring the IP67-class seal is preserved and the case warranty remains fully intact. Like all Peli products, it is covered by the Peli Lifetime Guarantee — a commitment to long-term reliability that aftermarket parts simply cannot match.
