Abstract
A data entry terminal for use in a hostile environment is sealed from the outside environment. The terminal has a housing made up of a front panel, shroud and base plate that are fastened together in two different orientations to facilitate desk top and wall mounting, and electronic equipment is mounted inside the terminal enclosure. A fan circulates air around the inside of the terminal enclosure for cooling the electronic equipment inside. The enclosure base acts as a heat sink to transfer the heat to the outside environment in whatever position the terminal is mounted.
