New Wide-Format OKW SOFT-CASE Handheld Enclosures
OKW has extended its innovative SOFT-CASE handheld enclosures range with the new size XL series to meet growing demand from electronics designers.
These new XL models have been designed for larger mobile electronics such as wide-format LCDs and keypads.
Typical applications will include handheld instrumentation; medical devices; mobile data logging and data capture equipment plus much more.
OKW SOFT-CASE hand held enclosures have been designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of modern electronic devices.
OKW Enclosures, Inc, Vice President, Sales, Sean Bailey, said:“The new XL size offers a wealth of opportunities for designers creating the latest wide-format devices for consumers of handheld electronics.”
With the addition of the XL series there are now four standard sizes of the popular ABS enclosures: 3.27” x 2.01” x 0.55” (S), 4.13” x 2.56” x 0.75” (M), 4.56” x 2.87” x 0.94” mm (L), 5.91” x 3.62” x 1.10” (XL).
The top part of each SOFT-CASE has a wide recessed area for locating a 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 electronic enclosures are molded in off-white or lava gray ABS or in black infra-red PMMA (UL 94 HB). 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), two 1.5V AA cells or one 9V cell (L).
Screw pillars are provided in the top and base parts for fitting the PCBs. The plastic enclosures are assembled with four self-tapping screws.
Accessories include a range of intermediate ring moldings, which increase the internal height of the enclosures. These are offered in the three case colors or chrome plated – or in soft TPE material, which provides IP54 protection. The TPE material also offers bump protection.
OKW can supply SOFT-CASE ABS boxes with additional holes for the push-buttons, connectors and displays plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, along with RFI shielding. Prices for the new XL models start at $10.
