OKW has introduced table-top versions of its unique ‘DIATEC’ range of enclosures. These ergonomic housings have a modern contoured design with a recessed central control area for fitting membrane keypads or mechanical keyboards. Typical applications will include data-collection units, communications equipment, medical and wellness devices, point-of-sale terminals etc.
The ‘DIATEC’ cases consist of four mouldings: base part, control panel, and two contoured side covers, which snap-on and can be locked with the two anti-tampering clips supplied. The cases are moulded in ABS (UL 94 HB) in off-white, RAL 9002.
Two standard sizes are offered: type ‘S’ 210 x 200 x 48 mm and type ‘M’ 270 x 200 x 48 mm. The central control panel is recessed by 2.5 mm and has dimensions of 120 x 128 mm or 180 x 128 mm. The vertical front and back sections are ideal for fitting cable connections, on/off switches etc.
The interior of the case can be sub-divided using accessory slot-in panels. Screw pillars are also provided in the base and control panel for mounting PCBs. For mobile applications, two 1.5V AA cells can be fitted in the base section under the side cover.
OKW can supply the ‘DIATEC’ cases with additional holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays etc., plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding. The cases can also be moulded or painted in alternative colours. Standard prices start at £20.76.
