E16SPBAH

Overview

The E16SPBAH is a sloped front pushbutton enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from mild steel with a polyester powder painted finish in ANSI 61 gray, it provides NEMA 12 and IP65 protection ratings. The unit features 16 outlets and measures 7-1/4 inches in length, 19-3/4 inches in width, and 6-3/4 inches in depth (approximately 184mm x 503mm x 171mm). It holds UL 508A and CUL certifications for industrial safety compliance.

Feature Summary

• Sloped front design optimized for operator visibility and ergonomic access to controls
• NEMA 12 and IP65 rated construction protects against dust, dirt, oil, and coolant
• Includes 16 integrated outlets for pushbutton and indicator installation
• Mild steel body with durable polyester powder paint finish

Applications

• Industrial machine control panels requiring operator interface integration
• Factory automation stations needing protected pushbutton mounting
• Equipment enclosures subject to oily or wet environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required NEMA 12/IP65 rating aligns with the specific environmental exposure of the installation site. Confirm that the 16-outlet configuration matches the control device count. Ensure compatibility with existing panel mounting standards and verify that the mild steel material meets corrosion resistance requirements for the intended operational environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated, pre-rated enclosure for multiple pushbuttons is required. The sloped front distinguishes it from flat-front alternatives, offering better ergonomics. Consider the mild steel construction versus stainless steel options if chemical resistance is critical. Verify dimensional fit within the larger assembly before finalizing the component choice.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman PB1 series of pushbutton enclosures. It serves as a standalone protective housing for control devices rather than a main system cabinet. The product line focuses on providing certified, ready-to-use solutions for integrating manual controls into industrial machinery without custom fabrication.
