What to look for in an IOT device enclosure?
what should be on your must-have list when looking for an IOT device enclosure? That all depends on the specific demands of each IOT application. Is the device intended for consumer, industrial or scientific use? If the device will be used outdoors，will you need a waterproof enclosure to protect against adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, and sleet.

Factors need to consider while choosing the electrical enclosure
Will the device be used indoors, outdoors or both?
If the device will be used outdoors, will you need a waterproof enclosure to protect against adverse weather conditions like rain, snow and sleet?
Will the device be exposed to salt spray, marine air and/or corrosive chemicals?
