Compact dimensions enable space-conscious installations, reducing cabinet footprint and shortening install time while preserving interior mounting room for electrical components. The 6 in H Ă— 4 in W Ă— 3 in D footprint supports control panels in tight mechanical spaces, enabling efficient layout on equipment carts or factory walls. Carbon steel with 16 gauge walls provides robust, impact-resistant protection against industrial wear, improving uptime in demanding environments and ensuring lasting service life. The seamless poured-in-place gasket delivers enhanced ingress protection, minimizing dust and moisture ingress and lowering maintenance cycles. A hinged cover with a continuous piano hinge promotes quick, tool-free access for routine servicing and repairs, while external mounting feet simplify precise alignment and secure wall mounting. NEMA 12, UL 508A, and CSA C22.2 certifications underpin compliance, safety, and reliability across machine-building and panel-assembly projects. The small single-door design reduces panel depth, easing door clearance in crowded control rooms and aligns with common field-service configurations. Painted ANSI 61 gray finish adds surface protection against corrosion and environmental exposure, delivering a durable, professional appearance on shop walls.
