Eaton AC-16C20SS Consolet Enclosures - NEMA 12
Part Number: AC-16C20SS
Quick Summary
Eaton AC-16C20SS consolet enclosures protect control panels in harsh industrial environments while keeping service calls to a minimum. In many facilities, corrosion, leaks, and difficult maintenance shorten equipment life and drive up downtime costs; these enclosures address those pain points with durable construction and a corrosion-resistant finish. They are built to UL 508A and CSA C22.2 standards and carry a NEMA 12 rating, providing reliable dust, water, and oil resistance for demanding applications. The combination of surface mounting, external feet, and a screw-access cover further simplifies installation, inspection, and routine servicing. For OEMs and integrators, this means faster commissioning, consistent compliance, and lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
