SMART-BOX IP-rated plastic enclosures now in eight sizes

OKW’s SMART-BOX IP-rated enclosures for industrial electronics are now available in eight sizes and with a wide range of customisation options.

Advanced SMART-BOX is said to be ideal for wall-mount and desktop devices. Applications include HVAC, control and system engineering, safety technology, IoT/IIoT, Smart Factory, Industry 4.0 and gateways.

These contoured, ergonomic enclosures feature separate channels for the lid screws and mounting screws so they can be installed ‘lid closed’ – protecting the electronics and the pre-fitted sealing gasket. Hinged flush-fitting trims conceal all the screws, which are A2 stainless steel with high corrosion resistance.

The lid features a generous recess for a membrane keypad or product label. Two plastic lid-retaining straps safeguard the opened lid for installation and maintenance in challenging locations. Inside the lid and main body, there are internal fastening pillars for PCBs and DIN rails.

SMART-BOX is moulded from ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) for added UV stability. Its eight sizes range from 120 x 90 x 50 mm to 280 x 170 x 60 mm. Seven of the eight sizes (widths 90, 110, 130, 150) are rated IP 66; the eighth (width 170) is IP 65.

Accessories for SMART-BOX include pressure equalisation elements, cable grommets, security plugs, TPE non-slip case feet for desktop use, and self-tapping screws (including tamperproof Torx T10).

SMART-BOX can be specified fully customised. Services include CNC machining, printing or laser marking of legends and logos, decor foils, EMC shielding, installation and assembly of accessories.
