AWARD-WINNING BLOB ENCLOSURES – RADICAL AND INTUITIVE

There are three BLOB enclosure shapes: PANEL, UNIT and CONTROL. And it’s the latter two that will most likely interest designers of pocket electronics. UNIT (the ‘exclamation mark’) is for single-handed operation. CONTROL (the circle with two extra areas) can be held with one hand and operated with the other.

All BLOB enclosures owe their unusual shapes to one important design principle: they guide the user’s hands instinctively towards the controls. This makes them excellent for people with limited grip function.

As gentle as these ABS (UL 94 HB) enclosures are, they’re also robust. IP 54 ingress protection is optional, thanks to a sealing kit (accessory). Assembly is with tamperproof Torx screws.

There is a large, recessed operating area on all three enclosures, and one of the secondary areas on CONTROL and PANEL also has a dimple recess. Battery options include AAA and Ø12-23 mm (0.472"-0.906" ) button cells for all three BLOB enclosures. PANEL can also accommodate AA cells.

Each BLOB type is available in one size: UNIT 130 x 60 x 30 mm, CONTROL 114 x 76 x 31 mm, PANEL 200 x 165 x 36 mm.

The standard colours for all three types are off-white (RAL 9002) and lava. Accessories include polarity reversal protection devices for the positive terminal (AA, AAA), battery clips, button cells holders and a Torx T10 screwdriver.
