A range of wall mount enclosures for control and data applications have been announced by OKW. Featuring an inset cable connection panel, the NET-BOX enclosures hide connectors under the removable front lid and can be fitted with LEDs, displays and swicthes. Applications include data acquisition systems, central control units, measuring and control, data systems engineering and medical technology.

The NET-BOX has a flat design and features a large area on the underside for mounting interfaces and connectors. These are hidden by the curved front lid which also conceals the wall mounting screws. The connectors, however, always remain accessible – reducing the time required for installation and maintenance work. NET-BOX consists of three individual components: a bottom section (and optional infill cover) in Lava Grey (NCS S 7502-B) plus a top cover and front lid, both in Light Grey (RAL 7035).

The enclosures can be used for outdoor applications, thanks to the UL 94 V-0 rated ASA+PC material used. IP65 protection is available by specifying an optional sealing kit. NET-BOX enclosures are available in three standard sizes with dimensions from 140x140x45mm to 220x220x50mm. An optional infill cover makes it possible to create an additional compartment either for greater installation volume, to protect the connections or simply to visually close the bottom part of the enclosure. PCBs can be housed in both the top and bottom sections, with each section having the appropriate attachment domes.

Wall mounting the housings is very easy. First the bottom section is attached to the wall at three points. Then the top cover and lid are fixed to the bottom using stainless steel tamper-proof Torx screws. NET-BOX cases can also be used as desktop units, and the non-slip feet are available as accessories.

Prices for the OKW enclosures start at £21.
