E16PBX

Overview

The E16PBX is an extra-deep pushbutton enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from steel with a polyester powder painted finish in ANSI 61 gray, it provides NEMA 12 and IP65 protection ratings. The unit measures 11.75 inches in length, 10.75 inches in width, and 4.75 inches (121 mm) in depth. It features 16 outlets designed to accommodate both 30.5-mm and 22.5-mm pushbuttons and switches. The enclosure holds UL 508A, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals.

Feature Summary

• Extra-deep design accommodates additional pushbutton components
• Steel construction with corrosion-resistant powder paint finish
• Multiple certification approvals for industrial safety compliance

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring deep component mounting
• Automation systems utilizing standard pushbutton interfaces
• Electrical enclosures needing NEMA 12 environmental protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix if available, as variations may exist within the E16PBX series. Confirm that the required depth of 4.75 inches meets your spatial constraints. Ensure compatibility with the intended 30.5-mm or 22.5-mm switch types before finalizing procurement. Check for any regional certification requirements beyond UL and CSA.

Selection Notes

Select this model when standard depth enclosures are insufficient for the installed hardware. The 16-outlet configuration supports moderate-density control layouts. Consider the steel material and gray finish for general industrial environments where NEMA 12 protection against dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids is required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman Pushbutton Enclosure family, specifically the extra-deep variant. It complements standard E16PB models by offering increased internal volume. The series is designed for modular assembly within larger control systems, providing a standardized footprint for operator interface devices.

Replacement Considerations

The E16PB is the standard depth counterpart. If reduced depth is acceptable, E16PB may serve as a substitute. Verify dimensional compatibility for existing cutouts when considering alternative brands or deeper variants.
