A12R86

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A12R86 is a steel wall-mount enclosure designed for outdoor or washdown environments. It features a screw-cover design with dimensions of 18.00 inches in height, 8.00 inches in width, and 6.00 inches in depth (457.2mm x 203.2mm x 152.4mm). The unit provides NEMA Type 3R and IP32 protection ratings against rain, sleet, and external ice formation. Constructed from galvanized steel with a polyester powder paint finish, it ensures durability in harsh conditions.

Feature Summary

• Galvanized steel construction with polyester powder paint finish for corrosion resistance
• NEMA Type 3R and IP32 rating suitable for outdoor use against rain and sleet
• Screw-cover door design for secure access and environmental sealing

Applications

• Outdoor electrical equipment protection
• Industrial control panels requiring weather resistance
• Washdown areas with moderate water exposure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting configuration and knock-out availability before procurement. Confirm that the NEMA Type 3R rating aligns with local regulatory requirements for outdoor installations. Ensure the internal component layout fits within the specified 18x8x6 inch footprint. Check for any required accessories such as DIN rails or grounding kits not included in the base unit.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor weather protection is required but higher ingress protection like IP66 is unnecessary. The 6-inch depth accommodates standard industrial components. Consider the screw-cover mechanism if frequent access is not needed, as it offers robust sealing compared to quick-release latches. Verify compatibility with existing mounting structures due to its specific dimensional profile.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman A-style body enclosure series, which focuses on cost-effective, durable solutions for general industrial applications. The A12R86 specifically addresses the need for compact, weather-resistant housing for smaller control systems. It complements larger floor-standing units by providing a wall-mounted alternative for space-constrained outdoor installations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other NEMA 3R steel enclosures of identical dimensions from manufacturers like nVent or Rittal. Ensure replacement models maintain the same screw-cover style and material specifications to preserve environmental sealing integrity.
