A1210CHS

Overview

The Hoffman A1210CHS is a wall-mount junction box constructed from mild steel with a polyester powder-coated finish in ANSI 61 Gray. It features a continuous hinged cover secured by screw-down clamps. The enclosure dimensions are 12 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 5 inches deep (305mm x 254mm x 127mm). It carries NEMA 12, NEMA 13, and IP65 ratings for protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil coolants.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge design allows the cover to swing open fully without detaching.
• Screw-down clamp mechanism ensures secure closure of the lid.
• Mild steel construction provides structural durability for industrial environments.

Applications

• Protection of electrical components in industrial settings
• Junction boxes for wiring systems requiring NEMA 12 compliance
• Enclosures for equipment exposed to oil coolants and dust

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the suffix CHS, which denotes the short continuous hinge variant. Confirm dimensional requirements align with the 12x10x5 inch specification. Ensure environmental conditions match the NEMA 12/IP65 rating criteria before deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a full-swing door is required for easier access compared to standard hinged covers. The continuous hinge eliminates pin failure points common in traditional hinges. Choose this over the MAD series if a single-door configuration is preferred over double-door setups.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of metal junction boxes. It is distinct from the AMP12100 panel accessory and the MAD1201030PER5 double-door enclosure. The A1210CHS is specifically designed as a single-door unit with integrated continuous hinges.

Replacement Considerations

The A1210CH is the standard continuous hinge version; verify if the 'Short' designation in CHS is critical for fitment. No direct cross-manufacturer substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
