A36P24PP

Overview

The A36P24PP is a perforated backplate manufactured by nVent Hoffman, designed for medium Type 3R enclosures. It measures 33 inches in height and 21 inches in width, with a thickness of 16 gauge (1.52 mm). Constructed from steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder-coated finish, this panel is engineered to accept self-tapping screws. It fits enclosures sized 36 x 24 inches, providing a standardized mounting surface for control components.

Feature Summary

• Eliminates manual measuring, marking, and drilling during component installation
• Accepts self-tapping screws for secure fastening
• Provides a ready-to-populate mounting surface for lightweight controls

Applications

• Mounting lightweight control components in industrial enclosures
• Installation within medium Type 3R hinged cover panel enclosures
• Automating drilling and tapping processes for enclosure preparation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure matches the specified 36 x 24 inch dimensions to ensure proper fitment of the 33 x 21 inch panel. Confirm that the application environment is compatible with the ANSI 61 gray polyester powder-coated steel construction. Ensure that the mounting hardware utilized consists of self-tapping screws as specified by the manufacturer's design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a pre-drilled solution is required for Type 3R enclosures to reduce assembly labor. The 16-gauge steel construction offers durability for standard industrial environments. Consider this option if the goal is to optimize material usage and eliminate custom fabrication steps associated with raw sheet metal panels.
