A16N128LP

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. A16N128LP is a medium wall-mount enclosure constructed from steel with a polyester powder-coated gray finish. It measures 16.00 inches in length, 12.00 inches in width, and 8.625 inches in depth (406.4mm x 304.8mm x 219.1mm). The unit features a butt-hinged cover secured by a recessed T-handle latch. It carries NEMA Type 1 ratings for indoor use, providing protection against falling dirt and limited ingress of water.

Feature Summary

• Butt-hinged cover design for easy access to internal components
• Recessed T-handle latch mechanism for secure closure
• Polyester powder-coated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Wall-mount configuration suitable for control and instrumentation housing

Applications

• Housing industrial control panels
• Enclosing instrumentation equipment
• Protecting electrical components in indoor environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix and physical dimensions against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the NEMA Type 1 rating aligns with the intended installation environment, as it does not provide weatherproof or watertight sealing. Ensure mounting hardware compatibility with the designated surface. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a basic indoor enclosure is sufficient for protecting controls from dust and dripping liquids. Compare depth requirements carefully, as the 8.625-inch depth accommodates standard panel-mounted devices. Consider stainless steel alternatives if exposure to harsh chemicals or outdoor conditions is anticipated, as this carbon steel unit relies on paint for environmental protection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN A1M series of medium enclosures. These units are designed for general-purpose indoor applications where high-level environmental sealing is not required. The series offers various sizes to accommodate different component counts while maintaining a standardized aesthetic and mounting footprint across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA Type 1 enclosures of identical dimensions from the same manufacturer. Verify hinge orientation and latch type compatibility if swapping brands. Ensure the replacement material meets the same corrosion resistance standards for the operating environment.
