Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. ATEX303016SS63 is a hazardous location enclosure constructed from Type 316 stainless steel with a brushed finish. It measures 306 mm in height, 306 mm in width, and 160 mm in depth (12 x 12 x 6.3 inches). The unit features a NEMA 4X rating and IP66 ingress protection. It includes three gland plates for cable entry and utilizes quarter-turn latches with a lift-off door design.

Feature Summary

• Certified to meet ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, IECEx, and AEx standards for increased safety in hazardous environments.
• Constructed from Type 316 stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and durability in harsh industrial conditions.
• Equipped with three gland plates to facilitate secure cable entry and management within the enclosure.

Applications

• Housing electrical components in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous locations.
• Industrial environments requiring high corrosion resistance and strict ingress protection.
• Applications demanding compliance with international explosion protection directives.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific installation environment matches the certified zone classifications for ATEX and IECEx standards. Confirm that the three-gland plate configuration meets the cabling requirements of the intended application. Ensure mounting surfaces support the weight of the stainless steel construction. Check local regulations regarding the use of Type 316 materials in your specific operational context.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both mechanical robustness and chemical resistance are required in explosive atmospheres. The Type 316 material offers superior performance compared to standard stainless steels in corrosive settings. The NEMA 4X rating ensures protection against windblown dust and water. Consider the external dimensions and gland plate count during panel layout planning to ensure adequate space for wiring.
