In response to the development of more mobile and independent electronic devices, and the growing use of touch screen technology, with graphical interfaces rather then traditional keypads, OKW has developed the new Interface-Terminal enclosures.
This new case system can be specified in different configurations to suit independent or cable connected mobile electronics. The basic housing consists of the top and base parts moulded in off-white ABS (UL 94 HB) with a modern contoured shape that is lightweight and very comfortable to hold in the hand. The top part is available closed, with a recess for a membrane keypad or touch screen, or open for mounting an anodised aluminium front panel. The closed top has been designed for mounting 6.4” or 8.4” touch screens.
The Interface-Terminal cases are available with external dimensions of 190 x 135 x 37 (S) and 225 x 165 x 38 mm (M). The cases can also be specified with or without a battery compartment for five 1.5V AA cells. The battery compartment can be mounted in the base to suit portrait or landscape orientation of the display/touch screen.
A desk station is also available, and has location tabs on the top for secure location of the case. Both the case and the station can be fitted with five pole contacts for data transfer and charging. Prices start at £21.
OKW can supply the Interface-Terminal cases with additional holes for the push-buttons, connectors and displays, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
