Core Product Features & Advantages
1 Premium SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction
The entire hinge is fabricated from SUS304 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and structural durability even in this ultra-miniature size. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including damp, coastal and mildly corrosive conditions, it maintains reliable performance over years of service without rusting or degrading.
2 Mirror Polished Finish for High-End Aesthetic Appearance
The precision mirror polishing creates a highly reflective, sleek metallic surface that elevates the visual quality of even the smallest equipment enclosures. In addition to its premium appearance, the polished surface resists fingerprints, is easy to clean and provides an extra layer of corrosion protection, making it ideal for medical, jewelry, luxury and consumer-facing applications where appearance is critical.
3 Ultra-Compact Micro Footprint for Space-Critical Applications
With an ultra-compact 32×25mm overall size and slim 1.5mm leaf thickness, this hinge is specifically designed for miniature and space-critical applications where standard-sized hinges simply cannot fit. The micro footprint allows it to be installed on tiny instrument panels, small control boxes, compact device housings and delicate enclosures without occupying valuable internal or external space.
4 180° Full Flat Opening Angle
The 180-degree maximum opening angle enables the cabinet door to lay completely flat, eliminating operational blind zones and providing full unobstructed access for internal wiring, component replacement, equipment inspection and routine maintenance work even on the smallest enclosures.
5 Four-Point M3 Screw Mounting for Secure Fixation
The 4×Φ3.3 mounting holes are compatible with standard M3 screws, ensuring secure and stable installation on miniature cabinet doors. The 20mm horizontal × 13mm vertical hole spacing provides a balanced fixation pattern that resists loosening from vibration while maintaining the compact overall dimensions.
6 Smooth Precision Rotation with Φ3 Pivot Pin
The precision-machined barrel and Φ3 pin assembly ensures tight clearance, low-friction rotation and minimal wobble, delivering smooth and quiet operation over tens of thousands of open-close cycles. The micro construction is optimized for lightweight small cabinet doors and delicate enclosures.
Application Fields
- Tiny electrical control boxes, compact junction boxes, miniature PLC enclosures and small distribution cabinets
- Medical devices, portable diagnostic instruments, laboratory micro-equipment and environmental monitoring sensors
- Miniature communication equipment, small server modules, compact signal transfer enclosures and IoT device housings
- Jewelry boxes, luxury packaging, watch cases, premium gift boxes and decorative enclosures
- Precision instrument panels, electronic test equipment casings, measurement devices and sensor housings
- Small outdoor monitoring equipment, weather-resistant micro-instrument panels and compact coastal sensor enclosures
- Premium compact furniture, small electronic casings, handheld devices and decorative enclosures where polished appearance is preferred
- Marine micro-equipment, RV accessories, boat fixtures and outdoor miniature devices requiring corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware
- Model making, DIY projects, custom enclosures and precision engineering applications requiring micro-size hinges
- Food processing micro-equipment, small stainless steel sanitary boxes and cleanroom mini-enclosures
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Step-by-Step Installation Procedures
- Determine the installation positions on both the cabinet frame and door panel according to the dimension drawing
- Mark and drill 4×Φ3.3 through holes at 20mm horizontal × 13mm vertical spacing on both the frame and door panel
- Align the hinge halves against the mounting surfaces and fasten with M3 screws through all four holes
- Test the 180° opening movement for smooth rotation and verify hinge stability
- Adjust the hinge position slightly if needed to achieve proper door alignment and consistent gap spacing
- Confirm that all screw heads are properly seated and do not interfere with hinge operation
Installation Quantity Recommendation
- Door height ≤200mm: Install 2 hinges symmetrically
- Door height 200mm to 400mm or medium-weight small door: Install 3 hinges for balanced load distribution
Maintenance Instructions
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including damp, coastal and mildly corrosive conditions; for extreme salt spray or strong chemical environments, regular rinsing with fresh water is recommended
- Wipe the mirror polished surface periodically with a soft dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust, fingerprints and grease; avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that may scratch the mirror finish
- Apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the Φ3 pivot pin every six months to maintain smooth and quiet rotation
- Check M3 mounting screw tightness quarterly to prevent loosening from vibration
- Inspect the polished surface annually for scratches or corrosion; for coastal applications, rinse with fresh water periodically to remove salt deposits
- Due to the miniature size, avoid over-tightening screws which may cause deformation of the thin hinge plate
