Plastic wall-mount enclosures

6 March 2013 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

As a terminal and electronic enclosure, the new IN-BOX range by OKW offers many different options. A total of nine basic sizes in different heights, a high level of robustness and impact strength (IK07-ABS / IK 08-PC) coupled with technical refinement, make the plastic enclosures relevant for industrial applications (eg, as control and monitoring units), measuring units, sensor applications, alarm enclosures etc.

The housing consists of one top part and one bottom part in the sizes 84 x 82 x 55/85 mm to 302 x 232 x 90/110 mm. The standard materials used are ABS (UL 94 HB) and polycarbonate (V-2) in the enclosure colour light grey (RAL 7035). The top part is also available in transparent polycarbonate (V-2).

The enclosure is assembled by means of a stainless steel quick-action lock. The high protection class IP66/67 is achieved thanks to a seal already foamed into the groove of the top parts. The recessed surface on the top side offers optimum protection for membrane keyboards and operating elements.

The IN-BOX can be mounted to a wall either by direct mounting or by an external fixture with separate wall mountings. When the optional internal hinge is used, the top part is secured against falling down, thus making all assembly or subsequent maintenance work easier.

Standard DIN rails and mounting plates for individual installation configurations, as well as a security kit to protect the enclosure from unauthorised access, are available as accessories.
