A71-1412DT

Overview

The A71-1412DT is a NEMA Type 3 enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from light gray fiberglass, it features a transparent inspection window for visual monitoring of internal components. The unit measures 14.65 inches in length, 11.89 inches in width, and 6.93 inches in depth (approximately 372mm x 302mm x 176mm). It is designed to provide environmental protection suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial settings.

Feature Summary

• Transparent inspection window allows visual access without opening the enclosure
• Light gray fiberglass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance
• NEMA Type 3 rating ensures protection against windblown dust, rain, sleet, and snow

Applications

• Outdoor industrial equipment housing
• Environmental control panels requiring visual status checks
• Harsh weather electrical installations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA Type 3 rating requirements against site conditions. Confirm that the transparent window material meets local safety and UV resistance standards. Ensure mounting hardware is compatible with the fiberglass chassis. Check for any additional gasket or seal requirements for enhanced ingress protection beyond the standard rating.

Selection Notes

Select this model when visual inspection capability is required alongside environmental protection. The fiberglass material offers advantages over steel in corrosive environments. Consider the internal volume constraints imposed by the 6.93-inch depth. Verify that the transparent window does not compromise structural integrity under expected mechanical loads.

Part Context

This component belongs to the APO series of enclosures, which are specialized for applications requiring both robust environmental sealing and visibility. Unlike standard metal enclosures, the fiberglass composition reduces weight while maintaining strength. The A71-1412DT represents a compact form factor within this series, suitable for smaller control assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Alternative solutions may require custom fabrication or selection of different series with similar dimensions and ratings.
