PLANO

PLANO is a brand historically associated with Plano Molding Company, an American manufacturer founded in 1932 and based in Plano, Illinois. The company is known for producing molded plastic storage solutions, including tackle boxes, toolboxes, and small-parts organizers. The PLANO product line available through 3G Electric focuses on compartmented boxes designed for the organized storage of small components. These boxes are used in maintenance, workshop, field service, and assembly environments where fasteners, fittings, electrical components, and similar items need to be sorted and retrieved efficiently. The PLANO compartment boxes supplied by 3G Electric are constructed from plastic and feature either adjustable or fixed dividers. Adjustable-divider models allow the user to reconfigure the internal layout to suit specific part sizes, while fixed-divider models provide a set compartment pattern. Many models use a black base with a clear lid, or an entirely clear body, so contents remain visible without opening the box. Closure is typically via a single latch or multiple latches, depending on the model. Available compartment counts range from 18 to 64, with external dimensions varying from approximately 9 1/8 in x 5 in x 1 1/4 in to 14 in x 9 in x 2 in. These boxes are not electrostatic discharge conductive unless explicitly stated; for ESD-sensitive components, users should verify the specification. 3G Electric supplies PLANO compartment boxes as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The product range includes multiple SKUs with different compartment configurations, divider types, and sizes. Each listing includes manufacturer part numbers, dimensions, material, and compartment details to support specification and procurement. 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support for global delivery, allowing plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists to source PLANO storage boxes alongside other industrial components. The boxes are suitable for benchtop organization, tool cribs, service vehicles, and remote job sites where small parts must be kept separated and identifiable. Because the boxes are molded plastic, they resist common workshop chemicals and are lightweight for transport. The clear lids or bodies facilitate quick inventory checks. The adjustable dividers can be removed or repositioned to create larger or smaller compartments, accommodating changing part mixes. Fixed-divider versions offer a consistent layout for standardized kits. The latch closures help prevent accidental opening during handling or transport. These characteristics make PLANO compartment boxes a practical choice for maintenance operations, electrical assembly, and general plant organization. 3G Electric maintains inventory and provides quotation support for the PLANO line, with the ability to ship to industrial facilities worldwide. The product data includes SKU-level details such as compartment count, adjustable divider quantity, color, material, and manufacturer part number, enabling accurate cross-referencing and reordering. For procurement teams, this means a single source for PLANO small-parts storage alongside other MRO and production supplies. The boxes are not intended for hazardous materials or heavy loads; they are designed for small parts organization. Users should confirm dimensions and compartment layout against their specific storage needs. 3G Electric can provide additional documentation and logistics coordination for international orders.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PLANO from 3G Electric.

What sizes and compartment counts are available in the PLANO compartment box line?

PLANO compartment boxes supplied by 3G Electric include models with 18, 30, 39, and 64 compartments. External dimensions range from approximately 9 1/8 in x 5 in x 1 1/4 in to 14 in x 9 in x 2 in. For example, SKU 900F70 has 30 compartments and measures 9 1/8 in x 5 in x 1 1/4 in, while SKU 900F72 has 64 compartments and measures 14 in x 7 1/4 in x 1 3/4 in. The largest model, SKU 822R68, measures 14 in x 9 in x 2 in. Compartment counts and dimensions are listed per SKU to aid selection.

Are the dividers in PLANO compartment boxes adjustable?

Some PLANO models have adjustable dividers, while others have fixed dividers. Adjustable-divider models, such as SKU 900F70 and SKU 900F72, allow the user to reposition or remove dividers to create custom compartment sizes. Fixed-divider models, such as SKU 822R64, have a set compartment layout with no adjustable dividers. The product specifications indicate the number of adjustable dividers and total compartments for each SKU. This allows buyers to choose between a reconfigurable layout or a standardized compartment pattern.

Are PLANO compartment boxes ESD safe for electronic components?

PLANO compartment boxes are generally not electrostatic discharge conductive unless specifically stated. For example, SKU 822R68 is listed as not electrostatic discharge conductive. If ESD protection is required for sensitive electronic components, verify the specification for the specific PLANO model before use. 3G Electric provides ESD conductive status in the product data where available. For applications requiring ESD-safe storage, alternative materials or models should be evaluated.

What material are PLANO small parts boxes made of?

PLANO small parts compartment boxes are constructed from plastic. The specific plastic type is not detailed in the available product data, but the boxes are molded and feature clear or black/clear color options. The clear lids or bodies allow visual identification of contents. The plastic construction makes the boxes lightweight and resistant to many common workshop chemicals. They are intended for organizing small parts such as fasteners, fittings, and electrical components. For chemical compatibility with specific substances, users should test or request material data.

Can PLANO compartment boxes be used in field service or mobile applications?

Yes, PLANO compartment boxes are suitable for field service and mobile use. Their plastic construction is lightweight, and the latch closures help keep contents secure during transport. Models with adjustable dividers allow technicians to configure compartments for specific parts kits. The clear lids or bodies enable quick inventory checks without opening the box. Common applications include service vehicles, remote job sites, and maintenance carts. However, these boxes are not designed for heavy loads or hazardous materials. For rugged transport, additional cases or restraints may be needed.

How does 3G Electric support PLANO product sourcing?

3G Electric supplies PLANO compartment boxes as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The product listings include SKU-level details such as manufacturer part number, dimensions, material, compartment count, and divider type. 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support for global delivery. Procurement specialists can request quotations for specific PLANO models and combine them with other industrial components in a single order. The company maintains inventory and can coordinate international shipping. For technical selection, 3G Electric can provide product data to help match the box to the application.
