OKW SOLID-BOX industrial enclosure series

SOLID-BOX, OKW’s new two-part robust industrial enclosure, is available from stock in anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and light grey (RAL 7035). Three standard sizes are offered: 135 x 115 x 50 mm, 180 x 145 x 60 mm and 225 x 175 x 70 mm (L x W x H).

A recessed area in the top panel provides a secure location for a membrane keypad, décor foil or product label. The enclosure range is made of high-quality, flame-retardant V0 material (PC+ABS-FR) with an improved heat distortion temperature (Vicat/B 120 = 110°C). To protect the electronics from moisture, dust and dirt, the interior is sealed to IP 66 and IP 67. The sturdy enclosure design also allows increased resistance to impact and shock stress according to IK 08.

The top and bottom parts are securely assembled using rust-proof and captured Torx screws outside the sealed interior. The enclosure assembly screws, as well as the channels for direct wall mounting, are concealed by four snap-on design trims. The bottom part of the enclosure has two deeply recessed surfaces for installing and protecting interfaces and cable connections.

As a wall-mounted and desktop enclosure, the SOLID-BOX is designed for robust electrical and electronic applications, including smart factory automation, IIoT, HVAC, plant and safety engineering, building management systems, and test and measurement. For desktop use, a set of non-slip rubber enclosure feet is also available. To prevent the top part from falling during installation, or in the event of subsequent servicing, SOLID-BOX can be specified with a lid retention device. A hinge set is also available to aid the user if the enclosure has to be opened regularly (both of these items are included in the range of accessories).

Fastening pillars inside the enclosure allow the installation of PCBs, DIN rails and mounting plates. The larger versions also include pre-moulded mounts for VESA standard holders (version 145 for VESA 75 x 75 mm, version 175 for VESA 100 x 100 mm).
