It features continuously welded and ground smooth seams, captivated cover screws threading into sealed wells, and includes a grounding stud on the body with bonding provisions on the cover. Designed for slanted control surfaces, it accommodates 30.5 mm or 22.5 mm pushbuttons and switches. The unit measures 10 inches in length, 3.5 inches in height, and 4.88 inches in depth.

Feature Summary

• Sloped front design facilitates ergonomic access to controls
• Steel construction with welded seams for structural integrity
• Compatible with standard 30.5 mm and 22.5 mm pushbutton interfaces

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring slanted operator interfaces
• Machine tool stations with angled control surfaces
• Process automation systems utilizing standard pushbutton switches

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required pushbutton diameter matches either 30.5 mm or 22.5 mm specifications before ordering. Confirm that the enclosure material and finish meet environmental requirements for the installation site. Ensure mounting hardware is compatible with the captive screw design. Check for specific certification needs such as UL 508A or CUL compliance relative to the final assembly configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-vertical control surface is necessary for operator accessibility or aesthetic integration. Compare dimensions against available panel space to ensure the 10 x 3.5 x 4.88 inch footprint fits the design constraints. Consider the steel material properties if corrosion resistance or weight is a critical factor compared to alternative materials.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent HOFFMAN line of industrial enclosures, specifically categorized under pushbutton enclosures. It serves as a protective housing for control station components, integrating seamlessly into larger electrical distribution or machinery control architectures where standardized switch mounting is required.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Verify compatibility with existing panel cutouts and internal component layouts when considering alternative enclosures.
