E30PBY25M

Overview

The Hoffman E30PBY25M is an extra-large steel pushbutton enclosure designed for indoor industrial environments. It features a Type 12 and NEMA 12 rating, providing protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil or grease splashing. The unit includes a pre-drilled panel with 30 outlets sized for 22.5 mm pushbuttons and switches. Standard dimensions are 18.5 inches in height, 15 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. The enclosure is finished in gray and utilizes captive screws for secure access.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from durable steel with a gray finish for robust industrial use
• Includes a pre-fabricated panel with 30 holes for 22.5 mm components
• Provides Type 12/NEMA 12 protection against environmental contaminants
• Features captive screws to prevent loss during maintenance

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring multiple 22.5 mm pushbutton installations
• Manufacturing equipment housing for operator interfaces
• Automated machinery control stations
• Factory floor distribution boxes for switchgear

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the inclusion of the pre-drilled panel, as some variants may be sold without it. Confirm that the 22.5 mm hole spacing matches the selected pushbuttons. Ensure the installation environment is strictly indoor, as Type 12 ratings do not support outdoor exposure or washdown conditions. Check for necessary accessories such as gaskets or mounting hardware if not included in the base package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density layout of 22.5 mm controls is required within a single enclosure. Compare against standard sizes if fewer than 30 points are needed to optimize space. Consider the 6-inch depth for adequate wire bending radius behind the panel. Verify that the 18.5 x 15 inch footprint fits the available cabinet or wall space. This model is distinct from the 30.5 mm variant; ensure compatibility with the chosen switch hardware.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman E Series Extra-Large Pushbutton Enclosures. The series is engineered to simplify panel assembly by offering pre-drilled options. The E30PBY25M specifically addresses the need for standardized 22.5 mm hole patterns. It serves as a ready-to-populate solution for reducing labor time associated with drilling and tapping custom panels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the Hoffman E Series with similar dimensions and hole counts. Verify that any replacement maintains the Type 12 rating and steel construction. Cross-reference part numbers ending in different suffixes only if they denote identical physical specifications.
