CDSC423812SSR

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures CDSC423812SSR is a stainless steel wall-mount enclosure designed for industrial environments. It features a NEMA 4X rating, providing protection against corrosion, dust, and water ingress from hose-directed water. The unit measures 42 inches in height, 38 inches in width, and 12 inches in depth. Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel, it offers durability and resistance to harsh conditions. The enclosure includes a hinged door with a quarter-turn latch mechanism for secure access.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• NEMA 4X rated to protect against dust, water, and corrosion
• Hinged door design with quarter-turn latches for secure closure

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring corrosion-resistant housing
• Outdoor electrical installations exposed to washdowns
• Food and beverage processing equipment enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade (Type 304 vs 316) required for your environment, as this model specifies 304. Confirm that the NEMA 4X rating aligns with your facility's hygiene and washdown standards. Ensure the internal dimensions accommodate all components with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring. Check if gaskets or seals are included or require separate procurement for optimal environmental sealing.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical and standard galvanized steel is insufficient. Consider the weight of the stainless steel construction for mounting support requirements. Evaluate if the 12-inch depth provides sufficient space for terminal blocks and circuit breakers. Compare against aluminum alternatives if weight reduction is a priority, noting the trade-off in corrosion performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to Hoffman's stainless steel wall-mount series, which prioritizes durability in aggressive environments. Unlike painted steel units, these enclosures rely on the inherent properties of stainless steel for longevity. The CDSC prefix typically denotes a specific line within their industrial enclosure portfolio focused on heavy-duty applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the external dimensions and mounting hole patterns to avoid structural modifications. Verify that substitute models offer equivalent NEMA ratings and stainless steel grades. Ensure the door hinge orientation and latch mechanisms are compatible with existing access requirements.
