Soft-Case enclosures are designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of modern electronic devices.
Typical applications include measurement systems, wireless RF or infra-red remote control devices, medical and laboratory equipment, and peripherals and interfaces.
Soft-Cases can uniquely be used for wide format LCDs and keypads.
The top part has a wide recessed area for locating the display or membrane keypad.
Also, a raised panel on the long edge of the base part is provided for USB, power or serial connectors and controls.
The enclosures are moulded in off-white or lava grey ABS or black infra-red PMMA (UL94HB).
The external dimensions are 82 x 51 x 14, 105 x 65 x 19 or 117 x 73 x 24mm.
Three types of battery compartment are offered which will accept two 1.5V AAA cells, two 1.5V AA cells or a single 9V cell.
Screw pillars are provided in the top and base parts for fitting the PCBs, and the cases are assembled by four self-tapping screws.
Accessories include a range of intermediate ring mouldings, which increases the internal height by 3mm.
These are offered in the three case colours, or chrome plated, or in soft TPE material which provides IP54 protection.
The TPE material also offers bump protection.
OKW can supply the Soft-Cases with additional holes for the pushbuttons, connectors and displays etc, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
