CMC16

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures CMC16 is a steel mounting channel designed for the Concept series enclosures. It provides a structural framework for installing DIN rails and grid straps at various positions within the enclosure. The channels can be mounted vertically or horizontally to collar studs or to the slide mechanisms of adjustable-depth mounting kits. Each kit includes two channels, facilitating flexible internal component organization.

Feature Summary

• Provides a mounting framework for DIN rails and grid straps
• Compatible with vertical or horizontal installation configurations
• Designed for use with collar studs or adjustable-depth mounting kit slide mechanisms

Applications

• Installing DIN rails within Concept series enclosures
• Mounting grid straps at various internal positions
• Structural support in industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with specific Concept series enclosure models before procurement. Confirm whether the required configuration necessitates single or dual channel kits. Ensure that existing mounting hardware, such as collar studs or slide mechanisms, aligns with the channel attachment requirements. Cross-reference part numbers with official nVent Hoffman documentation to avoid mismatches in depth or width specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the CMC16 when utilizing the Concept series enclosure line. This component is specifically engineered to fit 16-inch dimensions within this product family. Consider the need for multiple mounting points or varied rail orientations when determining quantity. Verify that the steel construction meets environmental protection standards required for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman CONCEPT line of accessories. It serves as an interior organizational element rather than a standalone enclosure. The product is manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., now part of nVent. It is distinct from general-purpose mounting hardware due to its specific dimensional compatibility with Concept series frames.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include other nVent Hoffman mounting channels compatible with the Concept series. Verify length and gauge specifications match the original 16-inch requirement. Generic DIN rail clips may not provide the same structural framework capabilities.
