E8PBG

Overview

The Hoffman E8PBG is a steel pushbutton enclosure with dimensions of 3.25 inches in width, 20.25 inches in height, and 2.75 inches in depth. It features an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder-coated finish and is constructed from 14 AWG gauge steel. The unit provides Type 12 protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil, while also meeting UL 508A and CUL standards for industrial control equipment.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically to house 30.5 mm and 22.5 mm push buttons and switches
• Constructed from 14 AWG steel with a smooth, continuously ground surface
• Provides Type 12 environmental protection rated for indoor industrial use

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring organized switch mounting
• Machinery interfaces utilizing standard 22.5 mm or 30.5 mm actuators
• Factory automation systems needing NEMA 12 compliant housing

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required pushbuttons match the 22.5 mm or 30.5 mm diameter specifications supported by this model. Confirm that the ANSI 61 gray color meets facility aesthetic requirements. Ensure the installation environment aligns with Type 12 ratings, as it is not suitable for outdoor or washdown applications. Check for necessary accessories such as internal mounting rails if specific switch configurations are planned.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated, compact housing is needed for multiple pushbuttons without integrating complex controls. It serves as a standalone solution for operator interface points. Consider alternative models if higher ingress protection like IP66 is required or if wall-mounting space constraints differ significantly from these external dimensions.
