Plastic electronic enclosures from OKW are fully wearable

OKW has added a new size XL to its BODY-CASE range of fully wearable plastic electronic enclosures.

Smart and comfortable BODY-CASE suits a wide range of applications including data recording and transmission; IoT/IIoT;

tracking/monitoring; emergency call/notification; healthcare/wellness; leisure and sports; digital communications; stock/sales logging; safety engineering; measurement/control; automation – and any roles involving localization of personnel.

New BODY-CASE XL – like the existing M and L sizes – can worn like a watch on a standard 18-mm strap; each enclosure is supplied with two spring bars. BODY-CASE can also be hung around the neck on a lanyard, clipped to a belt/pocket, fitted to a key ring or carried loose. Power can be supplied by round or button cells on the PCB or by a rechargeable battery with a copper loop for inductive charging.

New BODY-CASE XL (2.44×2.20×0.70 in) is longer, wider and deeper than sizes M (1.96×1.61×0.62 in) and L (2.16×1.81×0.66 in). All three sizes can be specified either with or without a recessed top for a membrane keypad or product label.

Each case comprises three parts: a top section with PCB location bars; a bottom section with four pre-molded drilling centers for use when fitting contact pins (drilling required); a soft-touch sealing ring. The PCB is held securely between the top and
bottom sections after assembly with four tamperproof Torx (T6) M2x6-mm screws.

BODY-CASE is rated IP 65 for ingress protection. The top and bottom are molded from Traffic White (RAL 9016) UV-stable ASA that is polished to a high gloss finish for easy cleaning and enhanced aesthetics. The matt sealing ring is Lava gray or Vermilion (RAL 2002) TPE. Prices for BODY-CASE start at $13.

Accessories for the new size include the pocket clip/eyelet/covers kit, a watch-style 18-mm wrist strap, a key ring, woven wrist strap or lanyard, a spring bar tool and a T6 screwdriver.

Customizing options for BODY-CASE include: CNC machining, custom colors, décor foils, printing, laser marking and installation/assembly of accessories.
