OKW extends its range of Smart-Box IP66 enclosures
Following customer demand, OKW have extended its 'Smart-Box' range of plastic enclosures. These attractive IP66 enclosures have been designed for modern industrial electronics. Typical applications will include heating and air conditioning controllers, monitoring systems, safety and security equipment and test and measurement devices.
OKW reckons design engineers will appreciate the many unique design features of the 'Smart-Box' series. For example, the case fixing screws and wall mounting shafts are hidden behind two hinged trims which are fitted in the lid. The lid trims hinge wide to allow screw driver access, and are then clipped into the closed position. As a result, no visible fixings can be seen once the unit is mounted on the wall or machine.
The enclosures are moulded in flame retardant ABS rated to UL 94 V-0. The standard colour is light grey, RAL 7035, and uniquely for this type of enclosure, the cases have a modern fine textured surface finish. Internal screw pillars are moulded in the top and base parts for mounting PCBs, DIN-Rails, displays etc. Prices start from £20. The 'Smart-Box' enclosures are fully insulated to VDE 0100, and sealed to protection class IP66 for indoor and outdoor use. The moulded gasket is designed for easy replacement during long term maintenance. The range is now available in six standard sizes from 120x90x50mm to 280x170x60mm.
