Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes only the enclosure body, as documentation indicates the back panel is not included. Confirm compatibility with optional accessories such as knockouts or terminal strips if internal organization is required. Ensure the procurement matches the exact model suffix to guarantee the correct hinge and latch configuration specified for this part number.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard Type 1 indoor enclosure is required with a hinged front for frequent access. It is suitable for environments where NEMA 4 weatherproofing is unnecessary. Consider the internal volume relative to component size and verify that the 8.62-inch depth accommodates necessary wiring space. This model serves as a base unit requiring separate purchase of any internal mounting panels.

Part Context

This product belongs to the Hoffman Medium Hinged-Cover Type 1 series, designed for general indoor industrial applications. It represents a standard solution for protecting electrical components from accidental contact and falling dirt. The series offers various sizes, with this specific model providing a compact footprint for smaller control assemblies or junction points within indoor facilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 1 enclosures of similar dimensions from Hoffman, such as the A20N12LP if different latch mechanisms are acceptable. Verify dimensional compatibility before swapping models to ensure fit within existing mounting spaces.
