Electronics & Instruments protective cases
Application

Protecting Electronics and Instruments

Electronic assemblies rarely fail from a single large impact. They fail from repeated small shocks, from a connector that carried load, and from dust in an interface.

Summary

Electronic assemblies rarely fail from a single large impact. They fail from repeated small shocks, from a connector that carried load, and from dust in an interface.

Three separate protections

  • Shock: base foam thickness and grade chosen from the packed mass, not from a blanket rule
  • Dust: a continuous rim and enough latches to keep it compressed through a temperature cycle
  • ESD: an anti-static or conductive foam grade, specified as a material, never as a coating

Layout rules we apply

The chassis carries the load. Connectors, antennas, knobs and heat-sinks are unloaded in every cut. Cables are coiled to a fixed diameter in their own channel. Anything that can abrade a finished surface is separated by a wall of foam rather than by distance.

FAQ

Questions in this sector

Which foam is suitable for electronic equipment?

Cross-linked PE for general protection, with anti-static or conductive grades where ESD control is required, and a firmer EPS carrier under heavy modules.

Can the case be sealed?

Yes, on models with a wall thickness of 3.0 mm or more, with a specified latch count and an optional pressure-equalisation valve.
