A12106NFSS6

Overview

The Hoffman A12106NFSS6 is a Type 4X junction box constructed from 316L stainless steel with a #4 smooth brushed finish. It features dimensions of 12 inches in height, 10 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. The enclosure utilizes a screw clamp cover design to ensure a secure seal. It holds UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals, providing NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings for protection against corrosion and environmental ingress.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Features a seamless foam-in-place gasket combined with stainless steel screw-down clamps
• Provides NEMA 4X and IP66 protection ratings for harsh environments

Applications

• Outdoor electrical installations requiring weatherproofing
• Corrosive industrial environments such as chemical processing or marine settings
• Applications demanding high hygiene standards due to smooth brushed finish

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the A12106NFSS6 part number to ensure the correct 316L stainless steel construction and 12x10x6 inch dimensions. Confirm that the required certifications align with local regulatory standards, specifically UL 50/50E, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals. Ensure the application environment necessitates the Type 4X rating and that the screw clamp cover mechanism is suitable for the intended maintenance frequency.

Selection Notes

Select this model when standard stainless steel grades are insufficient for the corrosive nature of the installation site. The 316L material offers enhanced resistance to chlorides compared to 304 stainless steel. Consider the 6-inch depth requirement for cable entry and wire bending space. The Type 4X rating is essential where washdowns or salt spray exposure occurs. Verify that the external dimensions fit within the designated mounting area before finalizing the specification.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Clamp Cover Junction Box series, designed for robust electrical protection. The series emphasizes durability through the use of heavy-duty materials and secure sealing mechanisms. The A12106NFSS6 variant specifically targets extreme environments where both mechanical strength and chemical resistance are critical for long-term operational integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 12x10x6 inch footprint and 316L stainless steel composition. Ensure any substitute also carries NEMA 4X/IP66 ratings and compatible third-party certifications. Verify that the replacement maintains the screw clamp cover style to preserve the original sealing performance and structural integrity.
