OKW Smart-Box IP66 enclosures

Click2Contact

OKW has extended its Smart-Box range of IP66 enclosures. The attractive enclosures are designed for modern industrial electronics and are said to provide a more professional appearance than traditional rectangular housings. Applications include building management, heating and air-conditioning controllers, monitoring systems, safety and security electronics, and test and measurement devices.

The case-fixing screws and wall-mounting shafts are hidden behind two hinged lid trims. The lid trims open wide to allow screwdriver access and are then clipped into the closed position. As a result, no visible fixings can be seen once the unit is mounted on a wall, machine housing or bulkhead.

The enclosures are moulded in a flame-retardant ASA+PC material, which is rated to UL 94 V-0. The standard colour is light grey and the cases have a modern, fine-textured surface finish.

The range is available in seven sizes with external dimensions from 120 x 90 x 50 mm to 280 x 170 x 60 mm. The cases are assembled by four rustproof stainless steel fixing screws, which are positioned outside of the sealed interior. Internal screw pillars are moulded in the top and base parts for mounting PCBs, DIN rails, displays, etc.

The moulded IP66 gasket is designed for easy replacement during long-term maintenance. To aid installation and servicing, two plastic lid supports are provided, and the wall-fixing dimensions are moulded onto the underside of the base parts.

The enclosures are fully insulated to VDE 0100. An optional key lock can be fitted for security. OKW can supply the enclosures fully customised with additional holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.
