Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products
The new CONNECT range of handheld enclosures from OKW is designed specifically for electronics where the unit is connected to a cable, sits between cables or where the units are joined with USB connectors. Typical applications include medical, measurement and control devices.
This is a two-piece enclosure with convex and flattened case shell sections. The flattened section is designed for fitting a membrane keypad or product label. Ergonomic rounded corners make it comfortable to hold, and the cases can either be suspended on the cables or lay flat.
Snap-together construction means no screws are required, giving a choice of which side to make the top. Benefits also include faster installation times and enhanced aesthetics. Three sizes are available from launch: 5,41 x 2,21 cm in lengths of either 7,6 cm, 11,6 cm or 15,6 cm.
The enclosures have open apertures at each end. They can be fitted with accessory end panels (which can be machined for USB connectors or LEDs) or integrated cable glands with diameters of 3,4 – 4,19 mm, 4,19 – 5,00 mm or 5,00 – 5,89 mm. The cable gland kits include a strain relief feature. Four fixing pillars inside the flattened case shell accommodate 2,21 x 5,00 mm (PZ1) PCB screws.
Although CONNECT is designed for indoor use (IP 40), it is moulded from ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) for superior UV resistance. The standard colour is Off White (RAL 9002) but custom colours are available on request. Other accessories include a holding clamp for round tubes up to 32 mm in diameter.
Customisation services include CNC milling and drilling, printing or engraving of legends and logos, special finishes and materials (including bioplastic), RFI shielding and assembly.
