The company says that these pocket-sized plastic enclosures are ideal for measurement and control, remote controls, pulse generation for ultrasound and infrared, sensors, optoelectronics, mobile data recording, and wireless communications.

Ergonomic DATEC-POCKET-BOX’s thin profile makes it comfortable to hold, with easily-machinable flat surfaces for adding interfaces. The operating area is recessed to protect a membrane keypad or product label.

The front face is clear polished (sizes M, L) for efficient infrared signals. Inside, there are internal fastening pillars for PCBs.

DATEC-POCKET-BOX can be specified in either ABS or infrared-permeable PMMA (both UL 94 HB), and with or without IP54 ingress protection as standard. There are three sizes: S (85 x 46 x 16mm), M (105 x 58 x 18.5mm) and L (120 x 65 x 22mm). The standard colours are off-white (RAL 9002) and black (RAL 9005).

Accessories include belt/pocket clips, battery clips, a battery spacer, plug-in contact (9 V), ring eyelet, and self-tapping screws for mounting PCBs.

OKW can supply DATEC-POCKET-BOX fully customised. Services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding and installation/assembly of accessories.
