EKSS16064-316

Overview

The EKSS16064-316 is a stainless steel enclosure manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a rectangular design with dimensions of 16 inches in height, 6 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth. The construction utilizes Type 316 stainless steel, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard grades. The unit includes a hinged door with a latch mechanism for secure access. This model is designed for industrial environments requiring durable protection for electronic components against harsh conditions.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from Type 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Hinged door design with integrated latch for secure closure
• Compact rectangular form factor suitable for space-constrained installations

Applications

• Protection of electronic components in marine environments
• Enclosure for industrial control systems in chemical processing plants
• Housing for sensors and actuators in food and beverage processing facilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting configuration and gasket material requirements against the official Hoffman Enclosures datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the Type 316 stainless steel specification meets the environmental corrosion resistance standards required for the intended installation site. Ensure compatibility with any internal DIN rail or mounting hardware specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical due to exposure to chlorides or aggressive chemicals. Compare with Type 304 alternatives if cost is a primary constraint but ensure the environment does not exceed the performance limits of lower-grade steels. Evaluate the internal volume against the size of components to be housed to ensure adequate clearance for wiring and heat dissipation.
