A42X1E2808

Overview

The A42X1E2808 is a Type 12 steel wall-mount enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a low-profile design with dimensions of 42 inches in height, 28 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth (1067mm x 711mm x 203mm). Constructed from 0.07-inch thick steel with an ANSI-61 gray polyester powder coat finish, it provides IP55 and NEMA 12 protection ratings compliant with UL-508A standards. The unit includes a hinged cover secured by a padlockable three-point latch mechanism.

Feature Summary

• NEMA 12 rated construction for indoor use against dust, dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids
• Padlockable three-point latch system for enhanced security
• ANSI-61 gray polyester powder coated steel finish for corrosion resistance

Applications

• Protection of electrical control panels and industrial electronics
• Mounting disconnect switches and circuit breakers
• Enclosure for PLCs and automation components in factory environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix to ensure compatibility with required mounting configurations and internal component layouts. Confirm that the standard hinge orientation meets spatial requirements. Cross-reference the UL-508A listing status if regulatory compliance documentation is mandatory for the installation site. Ensure the three-point latch mechanism aligns with security protocols.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact footprint is required for vertical panel mounting. The 8-inch depth accommodates standard terminal blocks and relays without excessive protrusion. Verify that the 42x28 inch faceplate area provides sufficient space for operator interfaces while maintaining structural rigidity. Consider the weight implications of the solid steel construction during installation planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman SA Series of sheet metal enclosures designed for general industrial applications. It serves as a protective housing for electrical systems requiring NEMA 12 ingress protection. The series is characterized by standardized dimensions and robust steel construction suitable for harsh indoor manufacturing environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NEMA 12 steel enclosures with identical 42x28x8 inch dimensions. Verify hinge type and latch mechanism compatibility before swapping. Alternative models may offer different finishes or additional knockouts.
