Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA rating requirements against official datasheets, as Type 1 offers limited environmental protection compared to higher ratings. Confirm that the provided wiring knockout sizes meet your cabling needs or plan for additional drilling. Ensure the mild steel construction and powder coat finish are suitable for the intended operating environment regarding corrosion resistance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a shallow depth of 8.00 inches is required for tight installation spaces. The reversible door allows for flexible mounting orientation based on access preferences. Consider the mild steel material if cost-effectiveness is prioritized over stainless steel alternatives, ensuring the application does not demand high corrosion resistance.

Part Context

This unit belongs to the D-Box series, characterized by its compact, rectangular form factor. It serves as a fundamental enclosure solution for protecting internal components from incidental contact and falling dirt. The product line emphasizes practical features like flush doors and standardized knockouts for ease of integration into various industrial setups.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman D-Box models with similar dimensions, such as the DBS362410G for increased depth. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and ensure the replacement maintains the required Type 1 protection level.
