Versatile CONNECT is ideal for data systems engineering, networks, building services technology, safety engineering, IoT/ IIoT sensors, medical devices, measurement and control.

CONNECT enclosures comprise two sections – one flat and recessed for a membrane keypad,
the other curved and tactile. Rounded corners add further ergonomic comfort.

CONNECT’s two shells snap together; there are no fixing screws – reducing assembly time and giving designers a choice of two ‘fronts’. Apertures at both ends can
be fitted with either a cable gland or end panel.

The enclosures offer plenty of space for compact displays, LEDs and USB connectors. Inside, the flat section has pillars for fitting PCBs and other components.

New
CONNECT S is 42mm wide, 22mm high and available in three lengths: 60, 90 and 120mm. (Existing size M is 54 x 22 x 76/116/156mm.) All the housings are moulded from UV-stable ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) in either off-white
(RAL 9002) or black (RAL 9005).

Accessories include rail-holding clamps, cable gland kits, end panels, wall holders and PCB mounting screws.

OKW can supply CONNECT enclosures fully customised. Services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, EMC shielding, and installation/assembly of accessories.
