A61-2412E2CT

Overview

The Hoffman A61-2412E2CT is a wall-mount enclosure constructed from polycarbonate, designed for industrial environments. It features a transparent front door and a solid back panel, allowing visual inspection of internal components while providing protection against dust and water ingress. The unit measures 24 inches in height, 12 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth. It includes a gasketed door seal and a quarter-turn latch mechanism for secure closure. The enclosure meets NEMA Type 12 standards, offering protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, fibers, and dripping non-corrosive liquids.

Feature Summary

• Transparent polycarbonate front door enables clear visibility of internal equipment status without opening the enclosure.
• NEMA Type 12 rated construction provides effective protection against dust, lint, and non-corrosive liquid drips.
• Quarter-turn latch system ensures rapid and secure door closure with integrated gasket sealing.

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring visual monitoring of electrical components
• Enclosures for PLCs and relays in manufacturing environments
• Protection for instrumentation in areas with moderate dust exposure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the exact model number A61-2412E2CT to ensure correct dimensions and material specifications. Confirm that the installation environment aligns with NEMA Type 12 requirements, as this enclosure is not rated for washdown or high-pressure cleaning. Check for any required accessories such as mounting hardware or internal DIN rails, which are typically sold separately. Ensure compatibility with existing cable entry points if pre-drilled knockouts are needed.

Selection Notes

Select this model when visual access to internal components is critical alongside standard industrial protection. The polycarbonate material offers impact resistance suitable for general factory floors. Consider this option over metal enclosures where weight reduction and transparency are prioritized. Ensure the internal layout fits within the 24x12x8 inch footprint before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman A61 series of polycarbonate enclosures, which are widely used in automation and control applications. The series is known for its balance of durability and cost-effectiveness compared to stainless steel alternatives. The A61 line typically includes various sizes and configurations, with the E2CT suffix denoting specific door and base materials.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other NEMA 12 polycarbonate enclosures of identical external dimensions from manufacturers like Hammond Manufacturing or BUD Industries. Verify that substitute models maintain the same door hinge orientation and latch type to avoid modification during installation. Cross-reference internal mounting hole patterns to ensure component compatibility.
