FAQs
The enclosure is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet, allowing straightforward installation on vertical surfaces. The hinged cover and continuous piano hinge provide reliable door operation while preserving gasket integrity, which simplifies routine maintenance. This setup minimizes mounting complexity and accelerates retrofits in constrained plant spaces.
This enclosure carries UL 508A listing and a NEMA 12 rating, indicating electrical safety compliance and protection against dust, non-corrosive liquids, and light moisture. These certifications support regulatory adherence for industrial control panels and help ensure reliability in typical factory environments where downtime is costly.
Key dimensions are 8 inches in height, 6 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in depth. The enclosure weighs approximately 4.4 pounds. These compact dimensions and modest weight support easy handling, quick installation, and flexible placement within crowded control areas.
No, the 863.5-12CHQRC is a NEMA 12-rated enclosure intended for indoor use where dust and light moisture protection are sufficient. For outdoor or higher moisture environments, consider enclosures with IP ratings or a higher NEMA rating and additional environmental protection features.
The combination of a seamless gasket, hinged cover, and durable carbon steel housing reduces ingress-related maintenance and extends service intervals. Wall-mount and external-foot design streamline retrofits and component access, lowering installation time and downtime while delivering long-term cost savings through improved reliability and regulatory compliance.
