Cases to use with our boards

Suitable enclosures to use with our boards

We are often asked which cases are available for use with the Raspberry Pi and our expansion boards.

Over the past four years, we have purchased many different cases and designs to test with our boards, and the only case we have found which will fully enclose the Raspberry Pi and up to two of our expansion boards is a DIN rail mounting case from Italtronic (http://eng.italtronic.com/).

The photos below show a Raspberry Pi fitted with an IO Pi Plus with an open and closed case. The clear front section of the case can be removed to allow wires to be connected to our boards, or you can cut out spaces on the sides if needed to use with our Serial and RS458 boards.

We purchased the case from RS Components https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/raspberry-pi-cases/8607577  (part no: 8607577), and the case is also available from other suppliers worldwide.
