AST6604R

Overview

The AST6604R is a wall-mounted enclosure manufactured by nVent HOFFMAN. It features a NEMA Type 1 and IP30 rating, designed for indoor use to protect electrical components from falling dirt and light splashing liquids. The unit measures 72 inches in length, 11 inches in width, and 6-1/2 inches in depth. Constructed from steel, it provides a secure housing for low-voltage control applications. Originating from Mexico, this model serves as a standard solution for basic environmental protection in industrial settings.

Feature Summary

• NEMA Type 1 and IP30 rated protection against falling dirt and light splashing liquids
• Wall-mount design with hinged door for easy access to internal components
• Steel construction providing durable housing for electrical equipment

Applications

• Indoor electrical panel installations
• Low-voltage control system housing
• Industrial machinery control centers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as nVent acquired Hoffman Enclosures. Confirm that the NEMA Type 1 rating aligns with your environmental requirements, as it does not offer weatherproof or watertight sealing. Ensure the 72-inch length fits the designated mounting space. Check for any updated part number suffixes if accessory compatibility is required.

Selection Notes

Select this model when only basic protection from dust and incidental liquid contact is needed. It is suitable for clean, dry indoor environments. Do not use this enclosure for outdoor applications or areas with high-pressure washdowns, as it lacks the sealing capabilities of higher IP-rated models like IP66 or NEMA 4X.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of metal enclosures, now under nVent. These units are widely used in automation and power distribution. The AST series typically denotes specific dimensional and rating combinations within the broader catalog of wall-mount solutions provided by the manufacturer for general industrial purposes.
