‘Plastic Enclosures’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Outdoor cooler uses bi-polar thermostatic control from Laird Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laird Technologies has announced the release of its outdoor thermoelectric cooler series with bi-polar thermostatic control. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Tyco announces JEDEC-based memory module from Tyco Electronics: "Tyco Electronics has introduced a very low-profile (VLP) double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) dual in-line memory module (DIMM) socket designed around JEDEC industry standards. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from OKW Enclosures - take a look at OKW enclosures house small electronic devices which says: "OKW Enclosures' range of shell-type range of robust plastic enclosures have been designed to house small electronic devices including test and measurement, medical, peripherals and interfaces.".
Take a look also at the news release from Vivid Engineering, Supporting products for Camera Link applications, as well as HMI touch panel suitable for factory automation from Aaeon, and DC switch disconnectors for PV applications from Switchtec.
