You’ve prototyped your Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design: It blinks, it speaks, it’s IoT-enabled and it breathes fire (maybe it doesn’t breathe fire…). Now it’s time to get the PCB made and put that awesome new project of yours into an enclosure. Unfortunately, all you have is a generic project case that appeared to come straight outta the 80’s.
Introducing: The Koki’o Project Case
The Koki’o project case is an open frame design which allows for panoramic viewing of your PCB while protecting the board from harmful contact with hands or tools. The open design also allows entry of air and moisture, which is great for applications which require environmental exposure (i.e. sensors).
A set of PCB template libraries are available for most major EDA tools (Eagle, Altium, KiCad) right out of the box - no pun intended.
Each Koki’o Project Case will come with a durable 18-gauge steel chassis with black powder paint finish and keyhole slots for wall mounting, a top plate formed from acrylic (PMMA), machine screws for mounting, two sets of standoffs to accommodate board expansion (5 mm and 10 mm), and protective non-skid rubber feet.
