Soft-case range extended

4 April 2007 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

OKW has extended its innovative Soft-Case series with new S and L sizes. Also added are two new standard colours, infrared PMMA material and an increased selection of intermediate rings.

The Soft-Case handheld enclosures have been designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of small electronic devices. Typical applications include measurement systems, wireless RF or infrared remote control devices, medical and laboratory equipment, and peripherals and interfaces. They 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 black infrared PMMA (UL 94 HB). The external dimensions are 82 x 51 x 14 mm (S), 105 x 65 x 19 mm (M) and 117 x 73 x 24 mm (L). Three types of battery compartment are offered that accept 2x 1,5 V AAA, 2x 1,5 V AA or 1x 9 V cells.

Screw pillars are provided in the top and base parts for fitting PCBs, and the cases are closed by four self-tapping screws. Accessories include a range of intermediate ring mouldings that increases the internal height by 3 mm. These are offered in the three case colours, or chrome plated, or in soft TPE material which provides IP 54 protection. It also offers bump protection.

The Soft-Case can be supplied with additional holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays, etc, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
