A201208LP

Overview

The Hoffman A201208LP is a wall-mount electrical enclosure constructed from mild steel, designed for indoor industrial applications. It features a single-door configuration with dimensions of 20 inches in height, 12 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth. The unit meets NEMA Type 12/13 and IP65 standards, providing protection against dust, falling liquids, and oil or grease splashing. The exterior body is finished in ANSI 61 Gray, while the interior surfaces are bright white to enhance visibility. The door utilizes a continuous hinge with screw-down clamp latches for secure closure.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinged door design with removable pin for easy access
• Seamlessly welded and ground smooth seams for structural integrity
• Welded-on external mounting ears for simplified installation
• Gangable construction allows for side-by-side assembly

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring dust and liquid resistance
• Electrical equipment housing in environments with oil or grease exposure
• Automation systems needing enhanced interior visibility
• Wall-mounted distribution boxes in manufacturing facilities

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment aligns with the NEMA Type 12/13 rating, as this enclosure is intended for indoor use only. Confirm that the required cable entry provisions are compatible with standard NPT fittings, as the base model does not include pre-drilled knockouts. Ensure that the mounting surface can support the weight of the mild steel construction. Check for any necessary accessories such as internal DIN rails or mounting plates that may be required for specific component integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, gangable steel enclosure is needed for indoor industrial settings. The bright white interior is specifically chosen for applications where operator visibility of internal components is critical. Consider the 8-inch depth requirement to ensure adequate space for wiring and component clearance. This series offers a cost-effective solution compared to stainless steel alternatives while maintaining high durability against environmental contaminants typical in factory floors.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman LP series of wall-mount enclosures, which are characterized by their continuous hinge design and gangable capability. The 'A' prefix typically denotes the material type and style within the Hoffman product line. Similar models in this family vary primarily in physical dimensions, allowing for scalable solutions across different project sizes while maintaining consistent aesthetic and functional characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

The A241208LP is a confirmed substitute option if a larger 24-inch height is acceptable. Verify that the replacement maintains the same depth and width requirements. No direct cross-manufacturer equivalents are documented in official sources; therefore, dimensional compatibility must be strictly assessed before substitution.
