ROLEC handCASE IP66 die-cast handheld enclosures

Click2Contact

ROLEC has extended the handCASE range of enclosures with four models that have a full format top recess for membrane keypads or product labels.

The high-performance IP66 aluminium enclosures have been designed for handheld electronics used in harsh indoor or outdoor environments. Applications include test and measurement equipment, machine and robot controllers, detection equipment and data logging units.

The robust enclosures are manufactured from die-cast aluminium GD AL Si 12 and offer a high degree of EMC shielding, which is useful for mobile RF equipment. Each unit consists of three separate die-castings: top, base and battery compartment lid; two moulded TPE sealing gaskets; and four screw gaskets. The cases are assembled by four stainless steel screws.

The enclosure range now consists of eight individual versions with external dimensions of 180 x 80 x 42, 220 x 100 x 42 or 220 x 100 x 62 mm. The type ‘S’ enclosure has a T-shaped top recess and is painted black and silver, while type ‘R’ has a full format top recess for membrane keypads or product labels and is painted light grey.

The top sections on all models can be machined for display modules, keypads and push-button switches. The base can be machined for connectors, switches and cable glands. The largest case is deep enough to fit standard control switches.

ROLEC can supply the enclosures customised with additional holes for push-buttons, displays, connectors and cable glands. The cases can be powder coated in custom colours and silk-screen printed with legends and logos.
