Hinged cover with plated screws provides quick access for maintenance while maintaining a secure closure, reducing dust ingress and service time. This translates to faster inspection cycles and fewer shutdowns during routine wiring updates in control panels. The combination of durable 14 gauge steel and ANSI 61 gray finish offers long-term corrosion resistance in moderate environments, supporting reliable operation in factory floors and automation rooms. Generous internal space from the 8" height by 8" width by 48" length footprint enables organized cable runs and easy future expansion, improving overall wiring density without sacrificing accessibility. 15 top and 15 bottom knockouts on the body enable flexible routing, eliminating the need for ad hoc adapters and speeding installation on complex machines. Thru holes mounting method simplifies panel mounting and reduces field modification time, supporting rapid deployment across multiple enclosures. NEMA 1 protection ensures indoor reliability for standard manufacturing and assembly applications, promoting safer, cleaner control cabinets.
