Enclosures
Plastic enclosures for PCBs with protruding connectors
O F
KW’s TOPTEC plastic enclosures for PCBs with protruding connectors and interfaces are now available in 28 different permutations. TOPTEC is ideal for applications including monitoring, signalling and control systems; medical and wellness devices; laboratory technology; computer peripherals and IoT/IIoT.
Installations are faster because pre-assembled PCBs fitted with protruding connectors or interfaces can be mounted directly into the case – with no need to wire them in afterwards. The enclosures simply snap together (but for security, a tool is needed to open them).
These smart, modern ABS (UL 94 HB) enclosures can be used for desktop, wall-mounted or DIN rail electronics. The base’s wide lateral opening offers excellent access to components. Clip-in end panels allow connectors to fit straight in. The lid is recessed for a membrane keypad or product label. Inside there are screw pillars for PCBs.
TOPTEC is available in two types: F (flat top) and H (high top) – either with or without slots for ventilation, gas detection
or sound. F enclosures are available in four plan sizes: 102 x 54 mm, 123 x 68 mm, 154 x 84 mm and 194 x 115 mm. H cases can be specified in all but the smallest plan size. There are two standard colours: off-white (RAL 9002) and black (RAL 9005). Prices start at £14.
Accessories include: concealed wall suspension elements (click to fit installation, with fast release tab), DIN rail fastening clips (TH35, G32), anti-slide rubber feet and self-tapping screws for mounting PCBs.
OKW can supply TOPTEC fully customised. Services include CNC machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding and installation/ assembly of accessories.

Custom enclosures for IoT and M2M applications
arnell, an Avnet Company and distributor of electronic components, products and solutions, is now offering fully customisable high-end IP67 electronics enclosure solutions from its private label brand Multicomp Pro. Using a unique and intuitive online tool available on Farnell’s website, customers can now create a custom enclosure in minutes, moving from prototype into full production from a single configuration. IoT developments are growing exponentially as many companies look to tap into the benefits of the technology. Sourcing a suitable enclosure is often left until late in the new product design process which can present packaging challenges and impact performance. In addition to this, standard off-the-shelf enclosures are rarely suitable for mission critical IoT applications. Current enclosure options available to designers seldom offer the durability, robustness and protection required for the end applications. A cost effective, fast turnaround custom enclosure is the ideal solution for design engineers tasked with critical builds on a finite budget.
The online configuration typically takes around five minutes, saving engineers many hours of work sourcing approved components from multiple sources. Customers can now easily and efficiently source the required solution to support IoT and other mission critical applications used in Intelligent Transportation (ITS), connected vehicles (V2X, CV2X, RSU 4.1), rail track and tunnel monitoring, mobile security, smart cities and agriculture, and more. Gareth James, senior product manager, Private Label at Farnell, says: “This new offering demonstrates Farnell’s

continued commitment to our customers in the IoT space and ensures we deliver valuable solutions that support the design process. We recognise that our customers all have different requirements, and we can now offer bespoke, unique enclosures that can be configured exactly to their needs in a matter of minutes. The quick and intuitive online customisation tool is the most recent in a long list of new engineering resources we have added to our online offering. Our Multicomp Pro range is recognised as the engineer’s choice because it represents market- leading value for money without comprising on quality. Adding custom enclosures to our range ensures customers have access to tailored solutions to achieve their designs at the low prices they expect from Multicomp Pro.”
Farnell’s Multicomp Pro range is a suitable option for OEMs and CEMs seeking added value from sourcing lower cost, production-grade components. The Multicomp Pro range includes more than 60,000 products and is suitable for engineers at any level.
Custom enclosures are just the latest in a range of customisation services offered by Farnell, including custom cables and components, to make replacing obsolete or hard-to-find parts as easy as possible.
Multicomp Pro custom enclosures can be configured and ordered from Farnell in EMEA, Newark in North America and element14 in APAC.
