OKW have announced that they have added more battery compartment options to their substantial hand held plastic enclosure portfolio. The new BLOB series, the SMART-CASE series, the DATEC-MOBILE series, the ERGO-CASE series and the DATEC-CONTROL series now all feature options for the internal mounting of N, AA, AAA, C and 9V batteries, as well as coin cells.

OKW’s extensive range of battery compartment enclosures now includes seventeen individual product lines with four different types of battery compartment.

With the SMART-CASE series, the batteries are located inside the base section in an integral battery compartment. They are accessible via opening the enclosure itself. The ERGO-CASE series has a battery compartment with a clip-in/screw-on removable lid. Offering greatly increased flexibility, this battery compartment employs separate screw-in battery cradles for different size and numbers of batteries for example 2 x AA or 4 x AA.

Designed for applications where frequent replacement of battery packs is required because recharging cannot be carried out in situ, the DATEC-CONTROL series features plug-in battery compartments. Featuring a separate lidded battery compartment moulded into the base section, the DATEC-MOBILE series includes a clip-on lid which allows the batteries to be changed without opening the enclosure.

Suitable for medical, wellness and personal electronics equipment, the highly contoured BLOB series enclosures have been designed to accept coin cell batteries such as CR1216 and CR1220.

OKW offers an extensive range of nickel plated spring contacts for use in the battery compartments. The latest contacts conform to DIN EN 60601 and have a modified geometry which rules out the possiblity of short circuit if the batteries are inserted incorrectly.
