An OKW Enclosures product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 8, 2010
OKW has extended its Soft-Case range of handheld enclosures with the size XL series for applications such as portable instruments, medical devices and mobile data logging and data capture equipment.
The ergonomic profile of these Soft-Case enclosures is designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of modern high-value electronic devices.
OKW has extended its Soft-Case handheld enclosures range with the new size XL series
The XL design is suitable for wide-format displays and keypads.
The top of the enclosure has a wide recessed area for locating an LCD or membrane keypad.
A raised panel on the long edge can be used for mounting USB, power or serial connectors and controls.
Soft-Case enclosures are moulded in off-white or lava-grey ABS or in black infrared permeable PMMA (UL 94 HB).
The three larger-size cases are available with battery compartments for fitting 1.5V AAA, 1.5V AA or 9V cells.
With the addition of the XL series, there are now four standard sizes with external dimensions ranging from 82 x 51 x 14mm up to 150 x 92 x 28mm.
Screw pillars are provided in the top and base parts for fitting printed circuit boards and the cases are assembled by four self-tapping screws.
Accessories include intermediate ring mouldings that increase the internal height.
These are offered in the three standard case colours; alternatively, they can be chrome plated or provided in soft TPE material, which provides IP54 sealing.
The TPE material also offers bump protection.
Prices for the new XL models start at GBP14.
OKW can supply the Soft-Case enclosures with additional holes for the pushbuttons, connectors and displays, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos as well as EMC shielding.
