A1008CHFTC

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A1008CHFTC is a steel enclosure with dimensions of 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and approximately 4.54 to 5 inches in depth. It features a solid cover with a continuous hinge design and an external flange trough collar. The unit provides NEMA 12 and IP65 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to dust, dripping liquids, and oil or coolant seepage. Constructed from steel, it is designed for industrial environments requiring durable containment.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinged cover design allows for full door swing without detachment.
• External flange trough collar structure effectively excludes liquids and contaminants.
• Solid cover construction provides robust physical protection for internal components.

Applications

• Automotive manufacturing equipment housing
• Industrial machinery control panels
• Environments requiring protection against oil and coolant exposure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific depth requirement (4.54 vs 5 inches) against your component layout before ordering. Confirm that the NEMA 12 rating aligns with your facility's environmental standards regarding oil and coolant resistance. Ensure mounting hardware compatibility with the flange trough collar design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a hinged door is preferred over removable covers for frequent access. The flange trough collar is critical for applications where liquid ingress prevention is mandatory. Steel construction offers cost-effective durability compared to stainless steel alternatives while maintaining necessary industrial protection levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of industrial metal boxes. It is specifically engineered for harsh conditions involving fluids. The continuous hinge mechanism distinguishes it from standard latch-operated enclosures, facilitating easier maintenance access while maintaining a sealed perimeter against debris and liquids.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hoffman models with similar NEMA 12 ratings and flange designs. Verify dimensional compatibility, particularly the depth variation between 4.54 and 5 inches, to ensure existing mounting points and internal component spacing remain valid.
