Eaton 863.5-4LC JIC panel enclosure - NEMA 4 rated
Part Number: 863.5-4LC
Quick Summary
Eaton B-Line series JIC panel enclosure is a compact, weather-resistant housing for control panels in industrial facilities. In demanding environments, installers struggle with leaks, corrosion, and door tampering that slow commissioning and increase maintenance costs. With UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 4 ratings, this cabinet meets stringent safety and performance standards for critical processes. By combining a carbon steel shell, 16-gauge wall thickness, and a sealed gasket, it delivers reliable protection while simplifying field mounting and service. This translates to fewer unexpected outages and a more predictable project timeline, enabling tighter schedules and lower lifecycle costs for panels, power distribution, and automation interfaces.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 4 rated enclosure plus UL 50 and CSA C22.2 compliance reduces ingress of water, dust, and corrosion, safeguarding sensitive electronics and extending service life in washdown and outdoor environments. This directly lowers maintenance frequency and ensures steady process continuity for automated lines and substation controls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Carbon steel, 16 gauge wall thickness provides robust protection with a durable form factor, improving vandal resistance and impact tolerance in heavy-industrial spaces such as packaging, metal fabrication, and chemical plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Seamless poured-in-place gasket and screw cover minimize points of moisture intrusion and simplify cleaning, boosting sanitation and reliability in food & beverage processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wall mounting with external feet enables quick, secure installation on varied wall surfaces, reducing installation time and hardware costs for control cabinets near conveyors and robotic cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Small single-door, 8 x 6 x 3.5 inch footprint supports compact control panels, offering a space-saving enclosure option for compact drives, PLCs, and terminal blocks in compact automation zones. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ANSI 61 gray finish and painted exterior provide corrosion resistance and easy field touch-ups, benefiting maintenance teams in outdoor rigs and harsh plant environments while preserving compliance aesthetics and visibility.

FAQs
The 863.5-4LC is designed for wall mounting using external mounting feet. Ensure a flat, sturdy wall surface and use compatible fasteners suited to 16-gauge carbon steel housings. Plan for appropriate clearance around the door and gasket to maintain sealing performance. The gasket should be cleaned and re-sealed after installation to preserve NEMA 4 protection.
Key specs include a NEMA 4 rating, UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, carbon steel construction with 16 gauge wall, exterior dimensions of 8 in height by 6 in width and 3.5 in depth, a door with a screw cover, and a wall-mount design. The enclosure is ANSI 61 gray with a painted finish, offering durable protection for electrical panels in demanding environments.
Yes. The NEMA 4 rating, UL 50 compliance, and CSA C22.2 certification indicate suitability for outdoor and washdown environments where resistance to water, dust, and corrosion is required. Its gasketed seam and carbon steel construction make it a reliable choice for process automation, substation controls, and outdoor electrical panels.
The enclosure meets UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 4 standards. This matters because it ensures the cabinet provides reliable protection against ingress, supports code compliance for industrial installations, and reduces risk during audits. Projects in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment benefit from these verified protections and documented standards.
The sealed gasket, screw cover, and robust carbon steel shell minimize ingress and reduce cleaning complexity, cutting downtime and maintenance frequency. Wall-mount design with external feet speeds installation, limiting labor costs. Over the asset life, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and greater uptime for automated lines and control systems.
