Eaton 16146-4QT JIC Panel Enclosure - NEMA 4/UL 50
Part Number: 16146-4QT
Quick Summary
Eaton 16146-4QT JIC panel enclosure is a rugged wall-mount solution designed to protect industrial control panels in harsh environments. Installers confront weather sealing, door closure reliability, and space constraints, especially in compact plant layouts. UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 4 ratings back performance against dust, moisture, and corrosion, giving operators confidence in uptime. The enclosure's 16 in height, 14 in width, and 6 in depth optimize footprint while still accommodating standard components. Painted ANSI 61 gray carbon steel construction supports long-term durability, while external mounting feet and a hinged cover streamline field installation and service. This combination delivers compliance, safety, and operational efficiency for panel builders and maintenance teams.

FAQs
To verify compatibility, compare the enclosure footprint (16 in H × 14 in W × 6 in D) and the wall-mount method with external feet to your existing panel layout. Confirm the small single-door design, hinged cover, and 15.8 lb weight fit your space and handling limits. Ensure the unit’s NEMA 4 rating and UL 50/CSA C22.2 compliance meet your environmental requirements.
Key performance specs include the NEMA 4 rating, UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, 16 gauge carbon steel construction, and the footprint of 16 in H × 14 in W × 6 in D, along with a hinged cover and continuous piano hinge. The 15.8 lb weight supports safe handling and installation, while external feet simplify alignment. These factors influence protection level, serviceability, and lifecycle costs.
Yes. The enclosure is designed for damp and wash-down environments thanks to its NEMA 4 rating and seamless gasket seal, which protect interior components from dust, moisture, and light splashes. While not a dedicated outdoor housing, proper installation with weather considerations makes it suitable for semi-exposed plant areas and outdoor facilities in many industrial settings.
Certifications UL 50, CSA C22.2, and the NEMA 4 rating establish enclosure integrity, electrical safety, and environmental protection. These standards help with regulatory compliance during audits, support spec-driven purchasing, and improve reliability in critical applications such as control panels, PLCs, and motor starters in regulated industrial environments.
Maintenance and ROI focus on serviceability and lifecycle costs. The hinged cover and external feet speed inspections and reconfigurations, minimizing downtime. The carbon steel with painted finish resists corrosion in typical plant environments. While upfront costs are higher than basic boxes, durability, reduced maintenance, and faster commissioning provide favorable total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life.
