Feature Summary

• Provides horizontal or vertical mounting support for terminal blocks
• Compatible with Type 4, 12, and 13 enclosure ratings
• Constructed from steel material

Applications

• Industrial control panel wiring organization
• Electrical enclosure terminal block mounting
• Heavy-duty equipment cabinet internal structuring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific enclosure model compatibility before purchase, as this strap is intended for 42-inch wide units. Confirm that the required application does not include pre-installed terminal blocks, as the A42T is sold as a bare strap only. Check for any specific coating requirements if the environment demands corrosion resistance beyond standard steel specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the A42T when a 42-inch mounting rail is required for Type 4, 12, or 13 rated enclosures. Ensure the enclosure width matches the 42-inch specification to guarantee proper fit. Consider the need for additional terminal blocks separately, as they are not included. Evaluate whether horizontal or vertical mounting orientation meets the specific wiring layout requirements of the project.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures terminal strap series, which provides standardized mounting solutions for various enclosure sizes. Similar parts include the A24T for 24-inch enclosures and the A60T for 60-inch enclosures. These accessories are essential for organizing wiring and components within industrial-grade metal enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 42-inch terminal straps from compatible manufacturers, though exact dimensional matches must be verified. The A42P30 is a related panel mount component but serves a different structural purpose. Always confirm cross-compatibility with existing enclosure frames before switching suppliers.
