ECL505020CH

Overview

The ECL505020CH is a COMLINE series wall-mount enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Constructed from lightweight aluminum with a polyester powder-painted grey finish, it measures 500mm in length, 500mm in width, and 200mm in external depth (19.69 x 19.69 x 7.87 inches). The unit features a latch-type door lock and utilizes a foam-in-place gasket to ensure environmental sealing. It provides protection ratings of NEMA Type 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and IP66, making it suitable for housing electrical components in extreme outdoor conditions.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy for durability in harsh environments
• Equipped with a foam-in-place gasket system to maintain tight environmental seals
• Features a secure latch-type door locking mechanism for reliable access control

Applications

• Rooftop telecommunications installations requiring weatherproof protection
• Tower-mounted equipment housing demanding high ingress protection
• Outdoor instrumentation protection against corrosive atmospheric conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA or IP rating requirements against the official datasheet before procurement, as environmental exposure levels vary. Confirm that the aluminum construction meets all necessary corrosion resistance standards for the intended installation site. Ensure mounting hardware compatibility with the specified wall-mount design. Check for any accessory requirements such as internal rails or knockouts not included in the base unit description.

Selection Notes

Select this model when lightweight yet durable protection is required for sensitive electronics exposed to moisture or salt spray. The 500x500mm footprint offers ample space for standard instrumentation while maintaining a compact profile. Consider the aluminum material properties for thermal dissipation needs compared to steel alternatives. Verify that the 200mm depth accommodates all internal component heights and wiring clearance requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman COMLINE series, designed specifically for customizable wall-mount applications. It serves as an alternative to heavier steel enclosures where weight reduction is critical. The product line emphasizes ease of customization through pre-formed knockouts and modular accessories. It targets industrial sectors requiring robust environmental sealing without excessive structural mass.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should verify dimensional compatibility and mounting hole patterns if considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure replacement units meet identical NEMA Type 3/3R/4/4X and IP66 ratings for equivalent performance.
