New Desk Stations For SMART-CASE Ergonomic Handheld Enclosures

OKW has added a range of desk stations to the highly successful SMART-CASE series of handheld enclosures.

Handheld electronics often require frequent battery charging or regular connection to a PC or machine for data transfer.

OKW has provided a professional solution for this by developing specific desk/charging stations for the SMART-CASE plastic enclosures. They fit the cases exactly and have a common design theme.

The new desk stations for SMART-CASE PCB enclosures are available in three versions to suit case sizes M, L and XL. They are molded in off-white or black ABS.

A contoured aperture is provided in the top for inserting the case. Knockouts on the underside cater for the data/power cable. Connections between the station and case are provided by gold plated male and female contacts.

SMART-CASE ABS enclosures have a natural organic design which is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand.

Typical applications include remote controls of all types – either wireless or with cable connection. The SMART-CASE range is especially suitable for use as instrument enclosures in hospitals and social fields, as well as in industry and households.

SMART-CASE has proven to be highly popular with manufacturers of medical technology because of its range of sizes, options and accessories which include bed clamps, wall holders, lanyards and now desk stations.
 
SMART-CASE plastic electronics enclosures are available in four standard sizes ranging from 2.27” x 1.40” x 0.75” to 6.61” x 2.92” x 1.39”. Standard color choices are Off-white (RAL 9002) or Black (RAL 9005) ABS. They can also be molded in PMMA (UL 94 HB) plexiglass for infra-red permeability.

The smallest size XS has a key ring loop while the larger sizes have a recessed top section for fitting a membrane keypad.

For outdoor applications, these industrial plastic enclosures can be fitted with an IP65 sealing kit. Other options include battery compartments for 1.5V AAA, 1.5V AA or 9V cells, belt/pocket clips and wall holders. Prices for the cases start at $6.

OKW can supply SMART-CASE as custom electronic enclosures with:
  • extra holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays
  • silk-screen printed legends and logos
  • RFI/EMI shielding.
OKW Enclosures, Inc, Vice President, Sales, Sean Bailey, said: “SMART-CASE just got even smarter.

“Adding these new docking and charging stations to the already wide range of SMART-CASE accessories makes these popular enclosures more versatile than ever.”

SMART-CASE handheld enclosures are ergonomically designed for maximum user comfort. Features and benefits include:
  • Connection via a cable or they can powered by batteries (AAA, AA or 9V)
  • Top recess for mounting membrane keypads
  • Versions are available with pre-fitted cable glands
  • Infra-red versions in PMMA plexiglass
  • Internal screw pillars for mounting PCBs
  • Materials – ABS (UL 94 HB); PMMA (UL 94 HB) for infra-red versions
  • Protection Class – size XS, IP40; sizes M, L & XL IP41; sizes L & XL IP65 (with optional sealing kit)
  • Colors ­– Off-white (RAL 9002); Black (RAL 9005)
  • Accessories – battery contacts, sealing kits, belt clips, key ring, ring eyelet, hand and neck straps, wall holders, bed clamps, desk station.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
