A10N106

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A10N106 is a small, hinged-cover metal enclosure constructed from steel with a polyester powder-coated finish in ANSI 61 gray. It measures 10 inches by 10 inches by 6 inches (254mm x 254mm x 152.4mm) and features a solid door secured by a flush slotted latch operable with a screwdriver or coin. The unit meets NEMA Type 1, UL 50/50E, and CUL standards, providing basic protection against falling dirt and limited ingress of solid foreign objects. It includes mounting holes on the back panel and weldnuts for optional accessories.

Feature Summary

• Solid hinged door with flush slotted latch mechanism
• Steel construction with ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coating
• Mounting provisions including back panel holes and accessory weldnuts

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring basic environmental protection
• Electrical component housing where oil and dust tightness are not required
• General-purpose equipment enclosures meeting NEMA Type 1 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application environment does not require oil or dust-tight sealing, as this model is rated only for NEMA Type 1. Confirm that the 10x10x6 inch internal dimensions accommodate all installed components. Ensure compatibility with any optional latches or mounting hardware specified for the weldnut locations. Check that the ANSI 61 gray color finish meets facility aesthetic requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when basic protection against falling dirt and limited solid object ingress is sufficient. It is suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor use where harsh contaminants are absent. Consider larger models if higher ingress protection ratings like NEMA 12 or 13 are needed. Verify that the steel material thickness and corrosion resistance meet specific site conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Small Hinge-Cover Enclosure series, which ranges from 6x6 inches to 14x12 inches. These units are designed for applications requiring fundamental functionality without specialized sealing. The series utilizes standard butt hinges and simple latch mechanisms to provide secure access while maintaining cost-effectiveness for general industrial tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA Type 1 steel enclosures of identical or compatible dimensions from manufacturers such as nVent or Hammond Manufacturing. Ensure replacement units maintain the same mounting hole patterns and depth constraints. Verify that alternative models offer equivalent UL and CUL certifications for regulatory compliance.
