F88LE45A

Overview

The Hoffman F88LE45A is a NEMA 12 rated enclosure constructed from cold-rolled steel with a gray baked enamel finish. It features a hinged door with a quarter-turn latch mechanism and includes a gasketed seal to protect against dust, dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. The unit measures 36 inches in height, 18 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth, providing substantial internal volume for industrial control components while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for panel mounting or floor-standing installation.

Feature Summary

• Hinged door design facilitates easy access to internal components without complete removal of the enclosure
• Quarter-turn latches provide secure closure and quick operation for maintenance tasks
• Gasketed seals ensure protection against environmental contaminants such as dust and moisture

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring NEMA 12 protection
• Electrical component housing in manufacturing environments
• Automation system enclosures for machinery control

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific model number matches the required dimensions and ingress protection rating for your application. Confirm that the mounting configuration aligns with existing infrastructure. Ensure compatibility with any required cutouts or knockouts before finalizing the order. Check for any specific accessory requirements such as internal mounting rails or lighting fixtures that may need to be ordered separately.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a NEMA 12 rated steel enclosure with a hinged door is required. Consider the internal volume needs relative to the component count. Evaluate the need for additional accessories like shelves or transformers which are not included. Ensure the gray baked enamel finish meets aesthetic or corrosion resistance requirements for the installation environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman line of industrial enclosures designed for protecting electrical equipment. The F88 series typically denotes a standard wall-mount or floor-standing style with hinged doors. These enclosures are engineered for durability in harsh industrial settings where protection from dust and liquids is essential for operational reliability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements should match the external dimensions and NEMA rating. Verify that alternative models offer equivalent door hinge configurations and latch types. Ensure material composition and finish quality meet the same protective standards. Cross-reference mounting hole patterns if retrofitting into an existing setup.
