Eaton AC-16C36 Enclosures - Surface Mount, NEMA 12
Part Number: AC-16C36
Quick Summary
Eaton AC-16C36 enclosures protect electrical components in industrial control panels and electrical rooms. Designers often battle mounting constraints, dust ingress, and tight schedules when upgrading legacy cabinets. UL 508A, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 12 ratings provide confidence in safety, compliance, and durability in challenging environments. The surface-mounted design and carbon steel construction deliver robust protection without compromising access or serviceability. This combination supports faster commissioning and lower lifecycle costs, helping engineering teams stay on schedule while meeting stringent industry standards. Users benefit from a hinged cover and external mounting feet that simplify field installation and maintenance. In practice, the ANSI 61 gray finish and 14 gauge wall offer reliable oil resistance and long-term durability.

The 16 in height by 36 in width by 11.12 in depth footprint accommodates standard automation hardware, enabling a compact yet scalable enclosure solution. This standardization reduces custom fabrication, shortens lead times, and simplifies spare parts inventories, delivering measurable efficiency gains in panel fabrication and wiring terminations. The NEMA 12 rating with an oil-resistant gasket protects sensitive components from dust, splashes, and light oils, supporting reliable operation in manufacturing lines and process controls. Carbon steel construction with 14 gauge walls and ANSI 61 gray finish delivers durability and corrosion resistance, while the surface-mount capability with external feet simplifies installation on walls or frames without extensive field modifications. Hinged covers with a continuous hinge and plated screws enable faster maintenance access and safer servicing, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Certifications to UL 508A and CSA C22.2, along with NEMA compliance, validate conformity for regulated environments and long-term asset protection, making this enclosure compatible with Eaton B-Line systems for scalable automation projects.

FAQs
AC-16C36 supports surface mounting using external mounting feet, which minimizes the need for interior modifications and rails. Its hinged cover design allows fast access to internal components during commissioning and maintenance. This compatibility reduces installation time, supports clean wiring terminations, and aligns with standard panel layouts for quick integration into existing control systems.
Key specs include a 16 in height, 36 in width, and 11.12 in depth footprint with a 14 gauge carbon steel wall and ANSI 61 gray finish. It carries a NEMA 12 rating and an oil-resistant gasket, providing dust, splash, and light oil protection. The enclosure weighs about 41.1 lb, aiding in handling and field installation.
Yes. The enclosure is UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certified and rated NEMA 12, making it appropriate for regulated environments. Its rugged construction, continuous hinge and external feet, plus oil-resistant gasket, help meet safety and durability requirements while simplifying audits and maintenance in production lines.
AC-16C36 carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications and is NEMA-rated, confirming compliance with widely recognized electrical safety and protection standards. These certifications reduce project risk, support regulatory approvals, and facilitate procurement through standardized performance expectations for control enclosures in industrial settings.
The hinged continuous hinge and plated screws enable quick, tool-assisted access, reducing maintenance downtime. The robust 14 gauge carbon steel with oil-resistant gasket minimizes corrosion and sealing failures, lowering replacement and repair costs. Surface-mount installation with external feet reduces installation labor, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
