Eaton 16146-12CHQRC Enclosure JIC Panel - NEMA 12

The B-Line series JIC panel enclosure features a continuous piano hinge and a hinged cover designed for frequent access without misalignment. This arrangement improves serviceability and reduces downtime when operators need to inspect or swap components mid-shift. Applications span machine control cabinets on production lines and process equipment where reliable access is essential. Its carbon steel construction with a 16-gauge wall offers robust protection against impacts and dust ingress, while the painted finish reduces corrosion risk. The combination extends enclosure life in harsh environments and lowers maintenance costs for robotics, conveyors, and packaging lines. A seamless poured-in-place gasket and the hinged closure provide dependable sealing against dust and moisture, aligning with NEMA 12 expectations. This reduces ingress-related electrical failures and helps keep sensitive controls clean in dirty factory floors. UL 508A certification and a NEMA 12 rating ensure electrical safety and environmental protection across standard industrial settings. External mounting feet and wall-mount capability simplify retrofits and new installations, enabling quick alignment with existing panels, control cabinets, or machine enclosures. External mounting feet support stable installation and easy relocation if lines shift. The closed, sealed design with a hinged cover minimizes maintenance downtime, while the cont. piano hinge and pull-drawn catch simplify opening, inspection, and service without tools. Compact dimensions (16 in H x 14 in W x 6 in D) and a modest 15.9 lb weight make handling, shipping, and installation straightforward in constrained spaces. The external feet and wall-mount approach help installers align with adjacent equipment and maintain service clearances.
