Elegant but tough IP 66 rated starCASE can be installed anywhere – on walls, machines and bulkheads. Applications include monitoring systems, HVAC controllers, safety equipment, factory automation, security systems and test and measurement.

The trims, which cover the lid and mounting screws, are
now optionally available in red, blue or anthracite, in addition to the standard light grey (RAL 7035). They are fitted with non-detachable hinges to stop them from being dropped or lost. Separate screw channels mean starCASE can be mounted ‘lid closed’ to protect the
seal and electronics.

The lid is recessed to accommodate a membrane keypad, product label or front plate. Integrated flexible support straps ensure the lid remains attached to the base when the unit is open. Inside, there are screw bosses for the installation of
PCBs, mounting plates and terminal rails.

Robust starCASE is moulded from UV-stable and flame-retardant ASA Luran in eight sizes from 120 x 90 x 50mm to 280 x 170 x 60mm. The standard colour is light grey (RAL 7035). Prices start at £24.

Options
and accessories for starCASE include keylocks for added security. ROLEC can also supply the housings fully customised ready for the installation of components. Services include CNC machining, painting, powder coating, engraving, laser processing, digital printing, membrane keypads, display windows and full assembly.
