A41-1212E1CTH

Overview

The Hoffman A41-1212E1CTH is a single-door steel enclosure designed for machine control applications. It features a continuous hinge and screw-down clamps for secure closure. The unit measures 12 x 12 x 6 inches and provides NEMA 12 and IP66 protection ratings against dust, dirt, oil, and coolant. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint finish, it includes an oil-resistant gasket and bonding provisions on the door to ensure environmental sealing and electrical grounding integrity.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge design allows the door to open fully for unrestricted access to internal components
• Screw-down clamps provide a secure and reliable closure mechanism
• Oil-resistant gasket ensures effective sealing against industrial contaminants
• Integrated bonding provision on the door supports proper electrical grounding

Applications

• Machine control panels in industrial environments
• Protection of electronic components from oil and coolant exposure
• Enclosures requiring high ingress protection against dust and water

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffixes to confirm the inclusion of mounting hardware and knockouts. Confirm that the required NEMA 12 and IP66 ratings align with the operational environment. Ensure the 16-gauge steel construction meets structural requirements. Check for any specific accessory compatibility needs such as conduit seals or internal DIN rails before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, sealed enclosure is needed for machinery subject to oil and coolant splashes. The 12x12x6 inch size offers moderate internal volume for standard control components. The continuous hinge and screw clamps are suitable for frequent access scenarios while maintaining seal integrity. Consider the weight and mounting constraints associated with 16-gauge steel construction.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of industrial protective housings. It is part of a series designed for harsh manufacturing environments where protection against fluids and particulates is critical. The product utilizes standardized dimensions and mounting patterns common in industrial automation enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other NEMA 12 steel enclosures of identical 12x12x6 inch dimensions. Verify that alternative models offer comparable IP66 ratings and continuous hinge configurations. Ensure the replacement maintains the same gauge thickness and gasket material specifications for equivalent durability.
