Cases enable slide-in PCB assembly installation

Teko has launched the Tekam range of aluminium instrument cases to enable the fast installation of slide-in PCB assemblies.

The all-aluminium design is said to provide good levels of EMC protection.

Typical applications will include handheld test and measurement devices, and radio-control equipment, plus wall-mounted monitoring systems, security devices and building control equipment.

Each enclosure consists of an extruded case body with two die-cast end panels assembled by self-tapping screws.

The case extrusion includes a series of internal guide rails for the PCBs.

Customers can specify the cases with flat end panels for handheld or portable use, or end panels with integrated wall-mounting ears.

Two moulded rubber gaskets are also included for sealing the mating faces of the end panels and case extrusion.

Tekam enclosures are available in nine standard sizes from 70 x 60 x 31mm to 175 x 106 x 46mm.

Two standard colours are offered: off-white, RAL 9002 or black, RAL 9004.

Recessed areas on both sides of the case extrusion and on the front face of the end panels can be used for mounting membrane keypads or product labels.

The end panels can also be used for mounting RF antennas.

Teko can supply these enclosures with additional holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos.

The cases can also be painted in alternative colours.
