A806CHEMC

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A806CHEMC is a metallic wall-mounted enclosure constructed from galvanized mild steel with a gray finish. It features a continuous hinge design and screw-down clamps for secure closure. The unit measures 8 inches in height, 6 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in depth (203.2mm x 152.4mm x 88.9mm). It provides NEMA Type 12 and EMC shielding capabilities, rated IP54. Seams are continuously welded and ground smooth to ensure structural integrity and effective electromagnetic interference containment.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge mechanism allows the cover to swing open fully without detaching, facilitating access to internal components.
• EMC shielding construction designed to contain stray electromagnetic interference signals produced by internal electronic components.
• Screw-down clamp system ensures a secure and tight closure for the hinged cover.
• Continuously welded and ground smooth seams provide enhanced durability and environmental protection.

Applications

• Indoor industrial environments requiring electromagnetic interference shielding
• Mounting electrical control panels and junction boxes
• Enclosing sensitive electronic equipment susceptible to external interference

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires EMC shielding capabilities, as this model is distinct from standard NEMA 12 enclosures lacking these features. Confirm that indoor installation conditions align with the IP54 rating, as it is not suitable for outdoor exposure or high-pressure washdowns. Ensure mounting surfaces can support the weight of the galvanized steel enclosure. Check for any specific grounding requirements associated with the EMC bonding features described in official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when electromagnetic interference mitigation is a primary requirement alongside standard NEMA 12 protection. Compare against non-EMC variants like the A806CH if shielding is unnecessary, as those may offer cost differences. Consider the continuous hinge versus quarter-turn latch options based on maintenance frequency and accessibility needs. Verify dimensional constraints fit the intended panel space, noting the 8x6x3.5-inch footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman series of metallic wall-mounted enclosures. It is part of the Type 12 EMC line, which combines standard environmental protection with specialized shielding properties. The product is manufactured by nVent Hoffman, utilizing galvanized mild steel for corrosion resistance and structural strength. It serves as a protective housing for industrial electronics in controlled indoor settings.

Replacement Considerations

The A806CH is a related model but lacks the specific EMC shielding features. Substitution should only occur if electromagnetic interference protection is not required for the application. No other direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in public documentation.
