Eaton AC-12C16 Enclosures - NEMA 12 UL 508A, Hinged
Part Number: AC-12C16
Quick Summary
The Eaton AC-12C16 enclosures protect control panels and electrical assemblies in industrial environments. Widespread dust, moisture, and mounting misalignment can undermine uptime, safety, and mean costly downtime. UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications back panel safety, while a NEMA 12 rating delivers solid dust and water ingress protection for indoor, non-harsh environments. Designed for surface mounting with external feet and a continuous hinged cover, they speed installation and service access. With a durable carbon steel shell, a 14 gauge wall, and ANSI 61 gray paint, the enclosure resists wear in busy facilities. For engineers and procurement teams, this elevates reliability without sacrificing compatibility with Eaton’s B-Line family and common industrial control components, driving predictable performance across automation lines.
