C20C24

Overview

The C20C24 is a consolet enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for mounting small control or instrumentation devices. It features a 14-gauge steel construction with continuously welded and ground-smooth seams to eliminate holes or knockouts. The unit includes a cover attached via a continuous hinge along the bottom edge, secured with captivated screws that thread into sealed wells. The finish consists of ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint applied inside and out over phosphatized surfaces. An oil-resistant gasket and adhesive are included to ensure environmental sealing.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge attachment for the cover along the bottom edge
• Captivated cover screws threading into sealed wells
• Oil-resistant gasket and adhesive for sealing
• Bonding provision located on the cover

Applications

• Mounting small control devices requiring angled access
• Instrumentation placement on desktops
• Pedestal mounting applications
• Flat surface installation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA rating requirements against official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the standard ANSI 61 gray finish meets project specifications. Ensure the 14-gauge steel thickness aligns with structural load expectations. Check for any required accessories such as latch kits or window kits if additional functionality is needed beyond the standard consolet configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 30- or 60-degree angled surface is desirable for device access. It is suitable for environments where Type 12 or 13 protection is sufficient. Consider the physical dimensions and weight capacity if mounting heavy instrumentation. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and ensure the steel construction meets corrosion resistance needs for the intended location.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Consolets product line within Hoffman Enclosures' portfolio. It is categorized under HMI (Human-Machine Interface) solutions. The design focuses on providing accessible, angled mounting for controls in industrial settings. It complements other enclosure types by offering specialized ergonomic positioning rather than standard vertical or horizontal box configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official catalogs for compatible stainless steel alternatives if enhanced corrosion resistance is required. Verify dimensional compatibility if substituting with similar models from the same series. Ensure replacement units maintain the same hinge and screw mechanisms for consistent assembly procedures.
