A604CHFTC

Overview

The Hoffman A604CHFTC is a steel junction box designed for industrial environments requiring protection against liquids and contaminants. It features a continuous hinged cover with an outward formed external flange trough collar, facilitating secure sealing. The enclosure measures 6 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 4.75 inches in depth. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a polyester powder-coated finish in ANSI 61 gray, it meets NEMA Type 12 and IP65 ratings. Certified to UL 508A and CUL standards, it utilizes tool-to-open latches for cover security.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinged cover design with outward formed external flange trough collar
• Tool-to-open latches for secure cover attachment
• Polyester powder-coated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Sealed design effective against liquids and contaminants

Applications

• Automotive industry equipment protection
• Industrial control panels requiring liquid resistance
• Environments demanding NEMA Type 12 compliance
• General electrical junction applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix matches the required dimensions and material specifications. Confirm that internal mounting panels are purchased separately as they are not included. Ensure the application environment aligns with the NEMA Type 12 and IP65 rating requirements. Check for any regional certification needs regarding UL 508A or CUL listings before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a hinged cover is preferred over removable doors for frequent access. The flange trough collar design is critical for applications requiring enhanced sealing against washdown or splashing. Consider the 16-gauge steel thickness for durability in high-traffic areas. Verify that the external dimensions fit the available installation space, noting the specific depth of 4.75 inches.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman series of industrial enclosures manufactured by Pentair Equipment Protection - Hoffman. It is part of a broader range of junction boxes designed for various environmental protections. Similar models may vary in material, such as stainless steel or fiberglass, or differ in hinge and latch configurations. The A604CHFTC specifically targets applications needing robust steel construction with integrated sealing features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman models with identical dimensions and NEMA ratings but different materials, such as stainless steel variants. Generic replacements must match the 6x4x4.75 inch footprint and flange trough collar design. Verify that alternative brands meet the same UL 508A and IP65 standards to ensure regulatory compliance.
