Weatherproof enclosures IP65 or Nema 3R, with specific holes, 150x150mm

enclosure

I'm needing an enclosure weatherproof and with dimensions around 150x150mm.
After searching, I know that I should look for something like IP65 or higher, is this right?
I also want to have holes for an antenna, and a power suply cable, all this ofcourse weatherproof? Are all the enclosures in OKW ready with holes?How can I make sure the right holes are there before buying the cases?

thanks

For the enclosure, Bud Industries makes a line of NEMA rated waterproof plastic enclosures. They vary in price from $10 to $50 from distributors like Digikey based on size and rating.

An example box that may fit your dimension requirements is the NBB-10260 (Digikey). It even comes with a clear lid for reading LCD displays if you need to. bud ind box

An option for getting cables out of a box that I have used in the past is a Cable Gland.

You simply drill the correct size hole in your enclosure and tighten the cable gland around your cable. If you adhere to the datasheet dimensions, it can be waterproof and dustproof.
