A31-1207E1CTHPL2

Overview

The Hoffman A31-1207E1CTHPL2 is a panel-mount junction box constructed from polycarbonate. It features a hinged design with a continuous hinge and screw clamps for secure closure. The enclosure provides NEMA 4X and IP66 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to corrosion, dust, and water ingress. It includes bonding provisions on the door for grounding continuity. The unit is designed for indoor or outdoor use in harsh environments, offering durability against oil, grease, and UV exposure while maintaining structural integrity under mechanical stress.

Feature Summary

• Polycarbonate construction resistant to corrosion, oil, grease, and UV degradation
• NEMA 4X and IP66 rated sealing for dust and water ingress protection
• Continuous hinge design with screw clamps for reliable access and closure
• Integrated bonding provision on the door for electrical grounding

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring corrosion-resistant housing
• Outdoor equipment enclosures exposed to moisture and chemicals
• Marine or coastal installations needing salt spray resistance
• Food and beverage processing machinery with washdown requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific model suffix corresponds to the required color and mounting configuration. Confirm that the internal dimensions accommodate all installed components and cable entries. Ensure that the polycarbonate material meets the environmental resistance standards of the installation site. Check for any required accessories such as knockouts or gland plates not included in the base unit.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high chemical and UV resistance is required alongside watertight sealing. Polycarbonate offers superior impact strength compared to standard plastics. Verify that the NEMA 4X rating aligns with the environmental hazards present. Consider the weight and mounting constraints associated with rigid plastic housings versus metal alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to Hoffman's line of industrial junction boxes designed for demanding environments. The series emphasizes durability and ease of installation through standardized mounting patterns. Polycarbonate variants are specifically engineered for applications where metal corrosion is a primary concern. The product line supports various sizes and configurations to fit diverse panel layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Substitute only with identical part numbers or verified equivalents from the same manufacturer series. Cross-referencing with different materials may alter corrosion resistance and impact strength. Ensure replacement units maintain the same NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings. Verify dimensional compatibility before swapping components.
