A1008CHEMC

Overview

The A1008CHEMC is a steel enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for indoor electrical applications. It features a painted steel composition with a continuous hinge and screw clamp cover mechanism. The unit provides electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding to contain stray signals. Key ratings include NEMA Type 12 and IP54 protection against dust and dripping water. Standard dimensions are 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge design allows the cover to remain attached during access
• Screw clamp cover system ensures secure closure
• Steel construction provides structural durability
• EMC shielding capability reduces electromagnetic interference

Applications

• Indoor electrical junction box installations
• Housing components requiring EMI/RFI shielding
• Protection of electrical connections in controlled environments

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires indoor-only usage, as this model lacks outdoor weatherproofing ratings beyond IP54. Confirm that electromagnetic compatibility shielding is necessary for the intended equipment. Ensure mounting hardware meets local safety standards for wall-mounted enclosures. Check for any specific cable gland requirements not included in the base package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor environmental conditions prevail and electromagnetic interference mitigation is required. The continuous hinge facilitates frequent access without losing the cover. Steel construction offers robust physical protection compared to plastic alternatives. Verify that the internal volume accommodates all planned components and wiring.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of industrial junction boxes. It is part of a series offering various sizes and materials. The EMC variant specifically addresses signal integrity concerns in sensitive electronic environments. It complements other Hoffman products providing different ingress protection levels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10x8x4 inch footprint and steel material. Verify that replacement units also offer NEMA Type 12 and IP54 ratings. Ensure EMC shielding properties are maintained if signal integrity is critical. Continuous hinge mechanisms should be compatible with existing mounting brackets.
