OKW expands range of miniature enclosures suitable for personal electronic devices
OKW Enclosures
Minitec handheld enclosures
OKW Enclosures has launched a range of additions and accessories for its Minitec series of handheld enclosures, which can be used in personal electronic devices for applications such as medical devices, personal safety systems, detection equipment, monitoring technology, emergency call devices, audio devices, alarm systems and remote-control technology.
The range now features more case sizes and a larger selection of intermediate rings, including wider versions for increased case height, plain models with no eyelets — suitable for handheld-only devices — and a ring that has an aperture for fitting a USB connector.
Minitec multi-coloured housings are offered in two basic designs: Edge (rectangular-style cases) and Drop (droplet-style cases). They are now available in eight sizes ranging from 51 x 32 x 13mm to 84 x 53 x 19mm.
The cases are made up of a top part, a bottom part and a soft intermediate ring. Top and bottom sections are manufactured from off-white or lava grey ABS or black infrared transparent PMMA (UL 94 HB).
By selecting correct versions and colour combinations, users can configure their enclosures from individual case parts. In addition, OKW can supply fully customised enclosures with modifications such as holes for keypads, connectors and LEDs, silk-screen printed legends and logos and EMC shielding.
Key information
- The recessed top part of the housings is designed for locating a membrane keypad or product label
- Intermediate rings are moulded from soft-touch TPE
- They are available in four standard colours: volcano grey, orange, lime green and bright blue
- Rings with eyelets or strap loops are designed for use with keyring, wrist-strap or lanyard accessories
- Edge enclosures are available with a smooth top for fitting rubber keypads
- Location bosses are moulded in the bottom parts for mounting PCBs and components
- The cases are assembled using a single self-tapping fixing screw
