Handheld enclosures for control equipment

BCL Enclosures has announced a new UK made range of hand held products which includes flush top or recessed lids for membranes. They are available in eight different sizes and are said to suit multiple applications

Handheld enclosures for control equipment

BCL states that its new BCH Handheld Series has been designed specifically for housing control equipment and that it provides a strong, ergonomic and flexible solution suitable for use in many different types of control equipment. BCH Handheld boxes are moulded in black ABS for strength and durability, and models with a flush top are suitable for silk screening with customers’ own brand name and logo, a service available on request. As an alternative, there are recessed lid enclosures in the series which are suitable for fitting membranes in.      

Many different sizes and configurations are available in the new series – BCH 30/40/50/55 range in size between 96mm long x 61mm wide x 25mm high to 125mm long x 70mm wide x 24mm high, including some models available with a battery connection compartment and battery connector included, plus one variant, BCH 30N, which is 85mm long x 55/40mm wide x 19.5/15.5mm high with PCB points in the top and base.

BCH models 60/65/70 range in size between 111mm long x 64mm wide x 23mm high and 126mm long x 75mm wide x 23mm high.  Certain cases have tapered top lids, while others have rounded tops and bases. End plates are removable.

BCH 90 models are medium hand held cases either 146mm long x 91mm wide x 32mm high in black ABS, with battery compartments including battery terminals suitable for four AA batteries or one 9V battery, or alternatively, without battery compartments. The larger cases, BCH 100 models, measure 189mm long x 101mm wide x 29mm high with either flush or recessed lids.  The latter are available in either black or white ABS and have battery compartments sized to fit six AA batteries and include battery terminals.

Covers and surrounds for the BCH 50 and 60 Series provide protection to both the enclosure itself and its equipment.  Available colours are red, blue and orange.  For the two BCH 100 cases, a surround strip is an option, which increases the overall height by 15mm.

BCL Enclosures’ products are manufactured in the UK, which the company says helps overcome the supply issues sometimes found with imported items. A high percentage of BCL products are available either direct from stock or on very short lead times.   In addition to its hand held range, BCL Enclosures also offers a comprehensive range of plastic enclosures and power supply units.  Advice on enclosure specification and a full portfolio of custom and customisation services are also available.
