E8PBA

Overview

The Hoffman E8PBA is a NEMA 12/13 rated pushbutton enclosure constructed from 14-gauge steel with a polyester powder-coated ANSI 61 gray finish. It features a sloped front design accommodating eight holes for 30.5 mm or 22.5 mm operators. The unit measures 7.25 inches in height, 10.75 inches in width, and 6.75 inches in depth (184.15 mm x 273.05 mm x 171.45 mm). It provides IP65 protection and complies with UL 508A standards.

Feature Summary

• Sloped front design facilitates operator installation and visibility
• NEMA 12/13 rating ensures protection against dust, dripping liquids, and oil
• Pre-cut openings support standard 30.5 mm and 22.5 mm control station components

Applications

• Industrial control stations requiring operator interfaces
• Machinery panels needing protected switch mounting
• Environments demanding resistance to dust and liquid ingress

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the NEMA 12/13 rating and IP65 sealing capability. Confirm compatibility with existing 30.5 mm or 22.5 mm operator dimensions before ordering. Ensure the 14-gauge steel construction meets mechanical strength requirements for the intended mounting location. Check for any site-specific UL 508A compliance documentation needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an enclosed control station housing is required without pre-installed operators. Choose based on the need for a sloped front to improve ergonomics or visibility of indicators. Consider the 14-gauge steel thickness for durability in industrial settings. Verify that no conduit entrance holes are needed, as this model does not include them.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman E series of pushbutton enclosures. These units are designed specifically for holding pushbuttons and switches where ground smoothness is critical. The series offers various hole configurations and depths to suit different control panel layouts and operator sizes.
