A10N104

Overview

The Hoffman A10N104 is a small, wall-mount enclosure constructed from steel with a polyester powder-coated ANSI 61 gray finish. It features a single hinged door and measures 10 inches in length, 10 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (254mm x 254mm x 101.6mm). The unit provides NEMA Type 1 and IP20 protection against falling objects and limited ingress of solid foreign bodies. It includes butt hinges and a flush slotted latch operated by a screwdriver or coin. Weldnuts are provided on the interior back panel to facilitate the mounting of optional internal panels.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from durable steel with a corrosion-resistant polyester powder-coated finish
• Features a single hinged door with butt hinges for secure access
• Includes a flush slotted latch mechanism operable with standard tools
• Equipped with internal weldnuts for flexible mounting of accessory panels

Applications

• Protection of electrical components in indoor industrial environments
• Mounting control devices requiring basic environmental shielding
• Installation in areas protected from direct weather exposure and liquids
• Utility enclosures for low-voltage distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required ingress protection level meets NEMA Type 1 standards, as this model does not offer liquid resistance. Confirm that the 10x10x4 inch internal volume accommodates all intended components and wiring. Ensure the installation site allows for sufficient clearance around the hinged door for operation. Check if additional accessories such as gaskets or specific mounting hardware are required for the specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when only basic protection against dust and accidental contact is necessary. It is suitable for dry, indoor locations where oil, coolant, or water exposure is absent. Consider larger dimensions if component density exceeds the available space. Evaluate alternative materials if chemical resistance beyond standard paint is needed. This enclosure is not rated for outdoor use or high-pressure washdowns.

Part Context

This product belongs to the Hoffman Small Type 1 Enclosure series, designed for general-purpose electrical housing. The series offers various sizes ranging from 6x6x4 inches to 14x12x8 inches. These units are widely used in commercial and light industrial settings for organizing and protecting electrical circuits. The consistent design language across the series allows for standardized mounting solutions and accessory compatibility within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical dimensions and NEMA Type 1 ratings from the same manufacturer. Verify that replacement units maintain the same steel construction and hinge configuration. Ensure that the latch mechanism remains compatible with existing tool requirements. Cross-brand replacements must match the external footprint and internal mounting hole patterns to ensure seamless integration.
