CSD20166LGEMC

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures CSD20166LGEMC is a wall-mount industrial enclosure constructed from mild steel with a textured polyester powder coat finish over a zinc-plated substrate. It measures 20.00 inches in length, 16.00 inches in width, and 6.00 inches in depth (508.00mm x 406.40mm x 152.40mm). The unit features a single hinged door secured by quarter-turn latches and carries NEMA Type 4 and IP66 ratings for protection against environmental contaminants.

Feature Summary

• EMI/RFI shielding capabilities designed to contain stray electromagnetic interference within the enclosure structure.
• Quarter-turn latch mechanism provides secure door closure and facilitates rapid access for maintenance.
• Textured polyester powder coating applied over zinc plating ensures corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments.

Applications

• Indoor or outdoor mounting of sensitive electronic control systems requiring electromagnetic isolation.
• Industrial automation panels where protection against water jets and dust ingress is mandatory.
• Equipment housing in facilities subject to strict NEMA Type 4 compliance standards.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires EMC shielding properties distinct from standard NEMA enclosures. Confirm that the 20x16x6 dimensions accommodate all internal components and wiring space requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure for wall-mounted installations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when electromagnetic compatibility is critical alongside standard environmental protection. Compare internal volume against component density needs. Consider accessory availability for cable entries and DIN rail mounting if additional organization is required for the specific assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN CONCEPT EMC series, specialized for managing electromagnetic interference. It differs from standard CSD models by incorporating conductive gaskets or grounding points to maintain shielding integrity while providing robust physical protection for enclosed electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Standard CSD20166LG lacks the specific EMC shielding characteristics. Verify if generic NEMA 4 enclosures meet the specific interference mitigation requirements before substituting with non-shielded alternatives.
