HANDHELD ENCLOSURES WITH RECESSES

Remember that point earlier about few enclosures having deep recesses for connectors? This is particularly true of handheld housings. But examples do exist (especially if you opt for a larger model).

However, they’re not common. The nature of handheld electronics usually restricts these enclosures to the size of the human hand because they must be comfortable to hold and operate. Any larger and they cross the blurred line that separates handheld from portable devices.

But models such as HAND-TERMINAL (IP 65 optional) make a virtue out of being larger and yet still ergonomic. They’re capacious but remain light and pleasant to operate because they’re well balanced.

In the case of HAND-TERMINAL, some of that equilibrium is down to strategically placed recesses. Each long side has a recess for buttons and other controls – ensuring they’re always within easy reach of the thumb and fingers.

The third recess on these PC+ABS enclosures is at the front. And the top overlaps at the back too, at the point nearest the wrist. This creates a smaller recess, should it be needed. There are also two large flat surfaces that can be a good location for a big emergency stop button.
