Specifying plastic enclosures for touchscreen electronics

06/10/2021

Touchscreens may be ubiquitous, but they can still present electronics designers with a challenge: how best to house them. Until recently, there were still very few standard plastic enclosures created specifically for today’s modern touch displays. But all that is changing now with the arrival of smart enclosure models.

Enclosure sealing: Tips for specialist enclosure manufacturers and vehicle builders

06/10/2021

Extruded rubber profiles are used for sealing doors and panels in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronic, medical, and general industrial applications. A great variety of shapes can be created for any industrial need, including hollow designs that greatly reduce material cost and create flexible, lightweight products.

Specifying enclosures – Installed environments and enclosure materials
