Cost-effective custom enclosures, tailored to meet the most diverse and demanding individual applications, can now be supplied by EC Electronics using its K-Box system.

Competing successfully with established systems at lower cost, the K-Box portfolio offers OEMs and system builders high-specification solutions with no compromise on quality or specification level.

To meet specific performance requirements, in liaison with customers, a powerful CAD/CAM design suite is used to optimise price-to-performance ratios, delivering fully fit-for-purpose results quickly and efficiently.

Manufactured in high-impact polystyrene, K-Box enclosures can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

In addition to the provision of unpopulated enclosures for third-party assembly, the company produces part-built bespoke enclosure systems at all levels of completion.

For example, I/O connections, cable harnesses, power supply modules, keyboards and displays can be incorporated - speeding and simplifying final assembly by the customer.

Tailored turnkey systems are also available, from prototypes to volume production.

Cost-effective flexibility lies at the heart of the K-Box custom CAD/CAM system, which negates the need for investment in tooling, forming equipment or moulds.

Quality is assured at all levels, under the company�s accredited ISO 9002 production, control and protection umbrella.

Established application areas include industrial electronics, automotive, medical, defence and professional leisure industries.

Available in a wide range of colours, the high-impact polystyrene enclosures can be provided in thicknesses from 3 to 10mm.

A variety of finishes, colours and textures can be readily incorporated, along with structural considerations such as apertures, partitions, PCB supports and handles.

Optional UL94V0 ratings and EMI/RFI shielding, further expand application potential.
