Tayda's 1590B is its own casting rather than a relabelled Hammond, and we carry measured figures for both.

Across the drilled face it is within a few tenths of a millimetre of Hammond's, and the depth is identical. A drill layout made for one fits the other for ordinary builds.

The drilled face, with the inside of the wall and the corner screw bosses as dashed hidden lines, and two sections cut on the centrelines showing the wall and the casting draft. Drawn from Tayda's dimensioned sheet, so it agrees with the figures below it. The top edge is rolled on castings like this one, shown here but not dimensioned.

Figures are read from Tayda's own drawing for this casting, the same data the editor and the comparison tool use. Tayda publishes no CAD, so these are measured from the sheet rather than derived from a model.

How thick are the walls?

The 1590B's walls are 2.1 mm thick. Like every diecast enclosure it also carries a casting draft: each wall leans out by 0.9 mm from the drilled face to the open rim, so the enclosure measures 60.8 × 113.1 mm at the rim and 59 × 111.3 mm across the face you drill. Worth knowing when a part seats against the inside of a wall, and why a caliper reading depends on where you take it.

What fits inside?

The internal cavity measures 54.8 × 107.1 mm at the face, and the screw bosses in each corner reduce the usable flat area for a circuit board to about 46.8 × 99.1 mm. To check a specific board, put its dimensions into the enclosure comparison tool's fit checker, or place the whole layout in the editor, which knows each component's real footprint and warns when something clashes with a wall or a boss.

1590B drill template

The Stompbox Layout editor has the 1590B as a built-in preset. Place your holes on it, and it prints a true-size PDF drill template with the enclosure outline, every hole position and a ruler to verify your printer's scale. Free, no download, runs in the browser.

Printed at 100% scale it works as a drilling template: tape it to the enclosure, centre punch each mark, then drill. Our guide to hand drilling a pedal enclosure walks the whole job, bit sizes included.

Nothing to tape down, nothing to slip, and it wraps the sides so the jacks line up. The editor makes one from your own layout, for the exact enclosure you picked, $29.

How the 1590B compares

Enclosure External at the rim Drilled face Depth Usable flat area
1590B (Tayda) 60.8 × 113.1 mm 59 × 111.3 mm 27 mm 46.8 × 99.1 mm
1590B (Hammond) 60.5 × 112.4 mm 59.3 × 111.2 mm 27 mm 47.3 × 99.2 mm

1590B vs 1590B

The 1590B is 0.3 mm wider and 0.1 mm shorter than the 1590B. Close enough that a layout transfers without redrawing. Re-check only where a part sits hard against a wall or a corner.

1590B FAQ

What are the dimensions of a 1590B enclosure?

A Tayda 1590B measures 60.8 × 113.1 mm × 27 mm externally at the open rim (2.39 × 4.45 in). The drilled face measures 59 × 111.3 mm, and the usable flat area inside the walls and corner screw bosses is about 46.8 × 99.1 mm.

How thick are the walls of a 1590B?

The 1590B's walls are 2.1 mm thick, with a casting draft of 0.9 mm per side from the drilled face to the open rim.

Is there a drill template for the 1590B?

Yes. The free Stompbox Layout editor includes the 1590B as a preset and prints a true-size PDF drill template of your layout, with a ruler to verify print scale.
