Handheld enclosures take larger systems
OKW Enclosures
Soft-Case
Soft-Case enclosures are designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of modern electronic devices.
In response to customer demand, OKW has extended its innovative Soft-Case enclosure range with a new XL series designed for larger mobile electronics.
Typical applications will include handheld instrumentation, medical devices, mobile data logging and data capture equipment.
The Soft-Case enclosures have been designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of modern electronic devices.
With the addition of the XL series there are now four standard sizes: 82 x 51 x 14mm (S), 105 x 65 x 19mm (M), 117 x 73 x 24mm (L) and 150 x 92 x 28mm (XL).
Soft-Cases can uniquely be used for wide format LCDs and keypads.
The top part has a wide recessed area for locating the display or membrane keypad.
Also, a raised panel on the long edge of the base part is provided for USB, power or serial connectors and controls.
The enclosures are moulded in off-white or lava grey ABS, or in black infra-red PMMA (UL94HB).
The new XL series is available with or without a battery compartment which will accept four 1.5V AA cells.
The other case sizes will accept two 1.5V AAA cells (M), and two 1.5V AA cells or one 9V cell (L).
Screw pillars are provided in the top and base parts for fitting the PCBs, and the cases are assembled by four self-tapping screws.
Accessories include a range of intermediate ring mouldings which increase the internal height.
These are offered in the three case colours, or chrome plated, or in soft TPE material which provides IP54 protection.
The TPE material also offers bump protection.
OKW can supply Soft-Cases with additional holes for the pushbuttons, connectors and displays etc, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
Prices for the new XL models start at GBP 10.
