The 16x16x11.12 in footprint paired with 14 gauge carbon steel walls creates a compact, rigid enclosure that fits tight machine spaces while maintaining panel integrity. This solid construction supports longer service life in bustling production lines and minimizes enclosure substitution costs. The NEMA 12 rating provides dust and splash protection for indoor environments, reducing the risk of contaminants reaching sensitive controls and lowering maintenance frequency. Hinged cover with continuous hinge and an oil-resistant gasket delivers easy, repeatable access to panel electronics while maintaining a reliable seal against grime and minor liquids, cutting commissioning time and post-install adjustments. External mounting feet and a surface-mounting method simplify installation on concrete pads or frames, enabling faster project completion and more predictable mounting layouts. Finish and material choices—ANSI 61 gray painted carbon steel with a 14-gauge wall—offer durable corrosion resistance for typical plant environments while keeping total cost of ownership favorable. Special features such as continuous hinge and plated screws enhance long-term durability and compatibility with the Eaton B-Line series, supporting scalable panel assemblies and standardized field upgrades.

FAQs
AC-16C16 provides a 16 in height, 16 in width, and 11.12 in depth footprint with external mounting feet for surface mounting. The enclosure uses a medium single-door design with a Hinged cover, and the mounting feet simplify anchoring to concrete pads or equipment frames. This arrangement supports easy, plug-and-play installations in compact control rooms.
Yes. AC-16C16 is designed to meet UL 508A and CSA C22.2 safety requirements, complemented by a NEMA 12 rating that provides dust and splash protection for indoor electrical equipment. This combination supports compliant panel builds and helps maintain regulatory alignment in manufacturing environments.
Maintaining NEMA 12 protection with AC-16C16 involves ensuring a proper seal at the hinged cover and maintaining the integrity of the oil-resistant gasket, regular inspection of the continuous hinge, and correct mounting to a stable surface to prevent gaps. External mounting feet should be firmly anchored to prevent movement that could compromise seals.
AC-16C16 enclosures are ideal for indoor control panels in manufacturing lines, process automation, and equipment housings where compact footprint, robust protection, and reliable access are required. Their surface-mount design, corrosion-resistant carbon steel body, and NEMA 12 rating make them a versatile choice for space-constrained industrial installations.
The enclosure’s durable carbon steel build, hinged continuous-duty cover, and external feet speed up commissioning and routine maintenance by reducing access time and replacement intervals. NEMA 12 protection minimizes ingress-related issues, lowering downtime and service costs, while compatibility with Eaton B-Line components supports scalable upgrades without significant rework.
