A808LP

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures A808LP is a Type 12 indoor wall-mount enclosure constructed from mild steel with a gray finish. It features dimensions of 8 inches in length, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (approximately 203mm x 203mm x 102mm). The unit utilizes a lift-off clamp cover design secured by a chain to prevent loss during access. This component provides protection against falling dirt, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and sputting oil, suitable for general industrial control environments.

Feature Summary

• Chain-secured lift-off clamp cover mechanism prevents cover loss during maintenance
• Mild steel construction provides structural durability for indoor applications
• Type 12 rating ensures protection against dust and non-corrosive liquid ingress

Applications

• Housing industrial control components
• Enclosing instrumentation equipment
• Indoor wall-mounted electrical installations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material specification (mild steel) and finish color (gray) match project requirements. Confirm that the Type 12 rating aligns with the environmental conditions, as this enclosure is not rated for outdoor or corrosive environments. Ensure the internal volume accommodates all installed components with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, cost-effective solution for indoor control panels is required. The mild steel construction offers standard protection without the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Consider the lift-off design for frequent access needs while maintaining security through the chain attachment. Verify that the 8x8x4 inch footprint fits the available mounting space.
