FAQs
The 866-12CHSC is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet, providing stable attachment and easier service access. This configuration simplifies alignment during installation and allows adequate clearance for wiring and maintenance inside a compact 8x6x6 inch footprint.
This enclosure carries a NEMA 12 rating with UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications, ensuring dust and moisture exclusion and compliance with common industrial electrical standards. It is suitable for indoor dry or mildly damp environments where protected control panels are required.
While the NEMA 12 rating provides robust protection in dusty and splashing environments, this enclosure is primarily intended for indoor or sheltered locations. For outdoor or extreme exposure, consider higher NEMA/IP-rated enclosures or additional sealing measures.
Dimensions are 8 in high, 6 in wide, and 6 in deep, with a 5.5 lb weight. It uses 16-gauge carbon steel, painted ANSI 61 gray, with an oil-resistant gasket. These details support durable performance, ease of mounting, and consistent appearance in regulated environments.
The hinged cover provides rapid access to internal components, reducing maintenance time and exposure of live parts. This design is particularly beneficial for frequent inspections or upgrades in production lines, enabling faster replacements while maintaining enclosure integrity and safety standards.
