AFSD1408

Overview

The AFSD1408 is a wall-mount enclosure manufactured by nVent HOFFMAN. It features dimensions of 1400 mm in height and 800 mm in width. The construction material is 316L stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for harsh environments. This component serves as a protective housing for electrical or electronic equipment.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316L stainless steel for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance
• Designed for wall-mount installation applications
• Provides environmental protection for internal components

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring high corrosion resistance
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to harsh weather
• Marine or coastal equipment enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix (e.g., -316) to confirm material composition, as standard AFSD series may vary. Confirm dimensional requirements against the 1400 mm x 800 mm specification. Ensure compatibility with required ingress protection ratings for the intended environment. Check for included accessories such as hinges or locks if not specified in the base part number.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 316L stainless steel is required for superior chemical and saltwater resistance compared to standard 304 stainless steel. Consider the 1400x800mm footprint for space constraints. Evaluate if wall-mount configuration meets site infrastructure needs. Verify that the IP rating associated with the specific variant matches environmental exposure levels.

Part Context

The AFSD series represents a line of stainless steel wall-mount enclosures from nVent HOFFMAN. These units are engineered for demanding industrial settings where standard steel or aluminum enclosures would degrade. The AFSD1408 specifically denotes a large-format unit within this series, offering substantial internal volume for complex wiring or multiple devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1400x800mm dimensions and 316L stainless steel material. Verify mounting hole patterns and door hinge configurations for interchangeability. Alternative materials like 304 stainless steel offer lower cost but reduced corrosion resistance.
