ASE36X24X6

Overview

The Hoffman ASE36X24X6 is a heavy-duty steel enclosure designed for industrial environments. It features a NEMA 12 rating to protect against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil coolants. The unit measures 36 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. Constructed from 14-gauge steel, it offers robust mechanical protection. The enclosure includes a hinged door with a three-point locking mechanism for enhanced security. Standard finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial applications.

Feature Summary

• NEMA 12 rated construction protects internal components from environmental contaminants
• Heavy-gauge steel body provides durable mechanical protection
• Three-point locking system ensures secure access control

Applications

• Industrial machinery control panels
• Factory automation equipment housing
• General purpose electrical component protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting configuration required for your installation before ordering. Confirm that the internal dimensions accommodate all planned components with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring. Check if additional accessories such as DIN rails or mounting plates are needed, as these are typically sold separately. Ensure the voltage and current ratings of connected devices align with the enclosure's intended use case.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact yet sturdy enclosure is needed for indoor industrial settings. The NEMA 12 rating makes it suitable for areas exposed to dust and coolant splashes but not high-pressure washdowns. Consider the weight and size constraints of your installation site. If higher ingress protection is required, evaluate NEMA 4 or 4X alternatives. Verify that the door swing direction meets spatial requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman ASE series of standard steel enclosures. The series is widely used in manufacturing and processing industries for protecting electrical controls. The 'ASE' designation indicates a specific line of heavy-duty enclosures known for their durability and standardized dimensions within the Hoffman product portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other NEMA 12 steel enclosures of identical external dimensions from different manufacturers. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting holes and door hardware if swapping brands. Verify that the gauge thickness matches to maintain structural integrity. No official substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed by the manufacturer for direct cross-referencing.
