E30PBA

Overview

The Hoffman E30PBA is a Type 12 sloped-front pushbutton enclosure constructed from mild steel with a polyester powder-coated ANSI 61 gray finish. It measures 14 inches in height, 15 inches in width, and 10.12 inches in depth (355.6 mm x 381 mm x 257 mm). The unit features 30 pre-drilled outlets designed for 30.5-mm or 22.5-mm pushbuttons and switches. It carries UL 508A and CUL listings and provides NEMA 12/IP65 protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil and grease seepage.

Feature Summary

• Sloped front design facilitates operator visibility and access to controls
• Pre-drilled panel allows for rapid installation of standard pushbuttons
• Steel construction with protective coating ensures durability in industrial environments

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring NEMA 12 protection
• Machine tool operator interfaces
• Process automation stations
• Factory floor equipment control centers

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a Type 12 enclosure rating. Confirm that the required pushbuttons match the 30.5-mm or 22.5-mm hole specifications. Note that the back panel is not included; ensure compatible mounting hardware is sourced separately. Check for any regional certification requirements such as CUL compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated, pre-fabricated enclosure for multiple pushbuttons is needed. It is suitable for indoor use where protection against dust and non-corrosive liquids is required. Consider the external dimensions to ensure adequate space within the larger assembly. Verify that the slope angle meets ergonomic requirements for the intended operator position.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman E-series of electrical enclosures. These units are designed for industrial automation and machinery control applications. The E30PBA specifically addresses the need for organized pushbutton integration without custom fabrication. It is part of a broader family of Type 12 enclosures offering various sizes and configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Type 12 sloped-front enclosures with similar dimensions and hole counts. Ensure substitute models maintain the same NEMA rating and material composition. Verify compatibility with existing mounting structures and pushbutton standards before switching suppliers.
