Lower cost DATEC-COMPACT enclosures for indoor use

By Andrew Zistler | May 12, 2016

okw enclosureOKW has launched an unsealed (IP 41) version of its robust DATEC-COMPACT handheld enclosures for indoor applications. Specifying DATEC-COMPACT without its normal IP 65 seal enables OEM designers to house their electronics even more cost effectively.

Applications for DATEC-COMPACT include mobile data recording, measuring and control, stock and sales logging, medical, laboratory and environmental technology. Modern and ergonomic DATEC-COMPACT is OKW’s first model to offer integrated contacts as an option – providing an all-in solution for charging and data transfer.

All units in the range – enclosures, desk stations and wall holders – can be specified with built-in contacts for charging 3 x 1.5 V AAA or AA cells. Specifying the IP 65 version with a battery compartment enables SD cards and USB connectors to be housed within the sealed area.

DATEC-COMPACT is manufactured from ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) for added strength and UV stability. They are assembled with tamperproof Torx T10 screws.Cases are available in three sizes: S (5.35” x 2.91” x 1.26”), M (6.77” x 3.62” x 1.54”), L (8.11” x 4.33” x 1.85”). The top section features a large recess for a membrane keypad or product label. All units in the range can be specified with or without a battery compartment and in two standard colors: Off-white (RAL 9002) or Lava Gray.

Accessories include battery contact kits (AAA and AA), desk stations, wall holders, non-slip feet, self-tapping PCB screws (PZ1 0.098” x 0.236”), carry cases (four sizes) and a Torx T10 screwdriver.

Customizing options include: custom colors; RFI/EMI shielding; CNC machining; lacquering; digital, tampo and silk-screen printing; membrane keyboards; installation and assembly of accessories; display windows; adhesive foils; plastic and aluminum panels.
