Wide choice of battery options for handheld pocket-sized plastic enclosures

OKW's robust DATEC-POCKET-BOX can now accommodate N, AA, AAA and 9V cells for a wide range of handheld electronics.

These pocket-sized plastic enclosures are ideal for measurement and control, remote controls, pulse generation for ultrasound and infrared, sensors, optoelectronics, mobile data recording and wireless communications.

The ergonomic enclosure's thin profile makes it comfortable to hold, with easily machinable flat surfaces for adding interfaces. The operating area is recessed to protect a membrane keypad or product label. The front face is clear polished (sizes M, L) for efficient infrared signals. Inside, there are internal fastening pillars for PCBs.

The enclosure can be specified in either ABS or infrared-permeable PMMA (UL 94 HB), with or without IP 54 ingress protection as standard. There are three sizes: S (85mm x 46mm x 16mm), M (105mm x 58mm x 18.5mm) and L (120mm x 65mm x 22mm). The standard colours are off-white (RAL 9002) and black (RAL 9005).

Accessories include belt/pocket clips, battery clips, a battery spacer, plug-in contact (9V), ring eyelet, and self-tapping screws for mounting PCBs.

The company can supply the enclosure in a fully customised way. Services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding and installation/assembly of accessories.
