Pocket-sized enclosures incorporate USB connections

By Lee Teschler | October 8, 2020

OKW has increased the range of USB connectivity options for its award-winning MINITEC plastic enclosures for personal electronics.

MINITEC – which won an iF Product Design Award – is a modern range of ergonomic enclosures for remote control key fobs, IoT/IIoT, okwcompact measurement devices, data recording, personal emergency/alarm systems, medical or fitness monitoring devices.

Tactile and ergonomic MINITEC is light and comfortable to wear, ensuring that personal electronics stay within easy reach. MINITEC can be worn on a lanyard, wrist strap, carried loose or attached to a belt or key ring. The enclosures are available in two shapes: rectangular E or the more rounded D.

Each enclosure comprises a top and bottom section, an intermediate ring and an assembly screw (supplied). USB-A and USB-B intermediate rings are now available as standard in ABS or infrared-permeable PMMA. No machining is needed. Previously, USB intermediate rings were offered only in soft-touch SEBS/TPE.

The new rings fit size M (2.67×0.94×0.71/0.94 in) of the E (rectangular) version of MINITEC. They also feature a mounting loop. Four of the new rings are 0.71-in high (USB-A/ABS, USB-A/PMMA, USB-B/ABS and USB-B/PMMA). Two more rings (ABS or PMMA) are available in the 0.94-in height with no USB slot. All six new rings are black (RAL 9005) as standard.

Prices for MINITEC EM enclosures start at $7. Accessories include an adjustable wrist strap (with hook/loop fastening), lanyards and a key ring.

OKW also offers customized versions of MINITEC. Services include CNC machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, RFI/EMI shielding, installation/assembly of accessories.
