Multi-coloured remote control enclosures
OKW has announced its range of ‘MINITEC' enclosures, designed for small portable
electronics which are carried in the hand, in a pocket, on a key ring, or on a neck chain. Typical applications will include personal safety, detection, monitoring, emergency call, audio, alarm, and radio and infra-red remote control devices.
When taking into account all the different styles, sizes, formats and colour options, this is the largest single product range OKW has ever introduced to the market, at any one time, with over 120 individual enclosures. As part of the launch, OKW have teamed up with Farnell who are offering the entire range from stock.
The ‘MINITEC' enclosures are available in two basic styles: rectangular style ‘E' and tear drop style ‘D'. Four external sizes are available: 52 x 32 x 15 mm and 68 x 43 x 18 mm (style ‘E'), and 51 x 32 x 13 mm and 70 x 44 x 16 mm (style ‘D').
Each case consists of a top part, bottom part and a soft intermediate ring. The top and base parts are moulded in off-white or lava grey ABS, or black infra-red transparent PMMA (UL 94 HB). The intermediate rings are moulded in soft touch TPE in four standard colours: volcano grey, orange, lime green and bright blue. The rings feature moulded eyelets or strap loops for fitting the key rings or neck chains which are offered as accessories.
The recessed top part is designed for locating a membrane keypad or product label. Style ‘E' is also offered with a smooth top for fitting rubber keypads etc. Location bosses are moulded in the base parts for mounting PCBs and components, and the cases are assembled using a single self-tapping fixing screw.
Prices start at under £4.
OKW can supply the ‘MINITEC' enclosures with additional holes for the keypads, connectors and displays etc., plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
