More electronics designers are choosing OKW’s robust SOLID-BOX to protect sensitive touch screens, control panels, and displays in demanding industrial settings.

 

With IK 08 impact protection and IP 66/IP 67 ingress ratings, SOLID-BOX is perfectly suited for applications such as plant and machinery construction, HVAC, IoT/IIoT, Smart Factory/Industry 4.0, gateways, data loggers, ICT, electrical installations, measurement/control systems, agriculture, sensor technology, and safety engineering.

In addition to its durability, SOLID-BOX boasts a sleek, polished finish that complements its industrial strength. Flush snap-on trims conceal tamperproof, corrosion-resistant Torx fixing screws and captive lid screws. Separate screw channels allow for ‘lid closed’ installation, safeguarding the seal and internal electronics.

The gently sloped lid features a large recess, ideal for a membrane keypad or product label. The base section includes deep recesses on the long sides, offering extra protection for connectors and interfaces. Internal fastening pillars accommodate PCBs, mounting plates, and DIN rails.

SOLID-BOX is moulded from PC+ABS (UL 94 V-0), available in anthracite grey (RAL 7016) or light grey (RAL 7035). It offers increased heat resistance (Vicat/B 120 = 110°C) and is free from chlorine and bromine flame retardants. Custom colours are available on request.

It comes in three sizes: 115 (135 x 115 x 50mm), 145 (180 x 145 x 60mm), and 175 (225 x 175 x 70mm). The rear mounting points on the 145 and 175 sizes align with the hole patterns of VESA MIS-D 75/100.

A variety of accessories are available, including lid retainers, internal hinges, non-slip feet for desktop use, and self-tapping screws for securing PCBs or DIN rails. Compatible cable glands (M12 to M20) and bushings are also offered.

OKW provides customisation services for SOLID-BOX, including CNC machining, printing and laser marking of logos and legends, decorative foils, EMC shielding, and the installation of accessories.
