Ergonomic Keypad Enclosures Now In Seven Sizes

Typical applications will include telecoms equipment, intercoms, surveillance devices, data collection, point-of-sale terminals and a broad range of instrumentation.



The COMTEC enclosures are moulded in fine textured ABS (UL 94 HB). Two standard colours are offered: off-white, RAL 9002 or black, RAL 9005. Custom colours and materials also available on request.



Each enclosure consists of a top and base moulding, and optionally, a clip-on battery compartment lid. Assembly is by an interlocking system at the front and by two screws at the rear. This also allows easier access if the cases are mounted on a wall.



The range now includes seven standard sizes with external dimensions from 120 x 150 x 43 mm to 290 x 200 x 79 mm. Four sizes are available with a battery compartment

aperture in the base section which is designed for mounting an accessory battery cradle. Three types of battery cradle are offered: one 9V cell, two 9V cells or four 1.5V AA cells.



All models have a recessed area on the top for mounting membrane keypads or product labels. Screw pillars are moulded inside the top and base for mounting PCBs, displays and assemblies. Prices start at £18.



Customising options for COMTEC enclosures include CNC milling and drilling, silk-screen and tampo printing of legends and logos, EMC shielding and assembly of components.
