Eaton 12104 TCS Enclosures - NEMA 1, Surface Mounted
Part Number: 12104 TCS
Quick Summary
Eaton B-Line series utility enclosures protect electrical components in industrial spaces for reliable, indoor control panel protection. Engineers often grapple with installation complexity, restricted access, and finishes that deteriorate under harsh environments. UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 1 ratings confirm safe indoor operation and regulatory compliance. With a carbon steel body, 16 gauge walls, ANSI 61 gray paint, and a hinged cover, it balances durability with serviceability. Thru-hole mounting and key locking support flexible installation and secure access, while the 12 by 10 by 4 in footprint fits compact control panels. These features translate to faster commissioning and lower lifecycle costs for plant owners.

The compact 12x10x4 inch footprint supports surface mounting in tight machine spaces, reducing layout complexity and installation time. This enables faster deployment of starter panels and minimizes framing and clearance issues in crowded lines. The 16 gauge carbon steel walls and ANSI 61 gray painted finish provide robust protection against everyday industrial wear and corrosion, lowering repaint cycles and reducing maintenance interrupts. NEMA 1 rating with UL 50 and CSA C22.2 listings confirms safe indoor operation and regulatory compliance, giving engineers confidence for general-purpose indoor use. The hinged cover with continuous piano hinge and trimmed lid improves serviceability by simplifying lid removal and alignment, reducing maintenance time during inspections and upgrades. Through-hole mounting and a key locking provision offer flexible installation, secure access, and straightforward retrofits in evolving plant layouts.
