SIMCO’s handheld enclosures can be great for practically any handheld electronic gadget. These Handheld Series enclosures are generally as affordable as they are beautiful. When they had been designed, handheld Series enclosures were SIMCO’s smallest enclosures to date. Handheld Series enclosures tend to be built exclusively to be used for any form of handheld gadget like controllers, keypads, or additional convenient functions. The DISCOVERY Series handheld enclosures can be specially made to offer the operator a better quantity of versatility. There are four different mixtures of tops and bottoms. These different tops and bottoms tend to be exchangeable, producing four specific variations that can then be further customized with the custom tooling inserts for a sole pattern. The unique tooling inserts supply an inexpensive choice for personalizing these handheld enclosures, saving time and decreasing costs while giving the product distinctive functionality and looks. Openings for custom led screens and controls, cut-outs for buttons and connectors, bezels, and speaker grills tend to be all features that can be molded in this method for additional customization. Handheld enclosures covers, there are two top covers to decide from. One is a sloped style with a high-tech, smooth profile with sleek, flowing lines meant for products with a high visibility. The other is a standard cover that is great for usual functions. The design is simplistic, yet not unattractive, and very functional. Two bottom cover models tend to be also on hand. One of the bottom covers is basic, as the other comprises a battery area. The battery compartment is tension loaded and contains a detachable door and a positive lock. Both of the bottom covers contain screw mount bosses and recessed locations for adhesive rubber feet needed to make the product skid resistant.

SIMCO uses only high impact ABS plastic for the DISCOVERY Series. ABS is scratch resistant with a velvety soft texture. The standard available colors are black, PC bone grey, and dark grey. SIMCO offers other options including EMI/RFI shielding, UL approved materials, and custom colors.

SIMCO also has another size of off-the-shelf enclosure that was developed according to customer requests – the Desktop Series 150×75. The top and bottom of the 150×75 enclosure textured to resist scratching and scuffing at the same time giving it an attractive appearance. As with all SIMCO’s Desktop Series enclosures, it has a recessed area. Inside, this new off-the-shelf enclosure will include card guides and mounting bosses. These will aid in assembly. SIMCO has also made obtainable front and rear panels for the 150×75. The panels can be molded to minimize customization costs including vent slots and other cut-outs.  Just like the other Desk Top Series and Handhelds Series SIMCO enclosures, the 150×75 are molded from high impact ABS plastic materials. ABS gives the enclosures a comfortable, if not ergonomic feel and is scratch resistant an important feature for handheld enclosures. The 150×75 is an important part of the SIMCO Desktop Series of off-the-shelf plastic enclosures.
