Eaton AC-20C20SS Consolet Enclosures - NEMA 12

Material and finish deliver long-term reliability in aggressive environments: the AC-20C20SS uses 304 stainless steel with a 14-gauge wall, finished in #4 brushed gray. This combination provides excellent corrosion resistance, enabling operation in washdown areas, chemical exposure, or outdoor installations without sacrificial coatings. The NEMA 12 rating further protects internal components from dust, splashes, and light moisture while maintaining accessibility for routine maintenance. The 20x20x13 inch body size provides sturdy enclosure while staying compact for panel layouts. The oil-resistant gasket enhances sealing against incidental fluids, supporting longer service intervals and fewer leaks in demanding process lines. Installation efficiency comes from a surface mount design with external mounting feet and a screw cover on a medium single door. The continuous hinge simplifies door operation and minimizes misalignment during service, while stainless screws resist corrosion at fasteners. These features translate into reduced field downtime, easier retrofits, and predictable maintenance windows. The enclosure's dimensions align with common control-panel footprints, helping engineers optimize layouts and spare parts inventories. Compatibility with Eaton B-Line accessories ensures easy expansion as systems grow, and the externally mounted feet enable stable anchoring on uneven floors. Compatibility with Eaton’s B-Line accessories ensures seamless integration with other enclosure components and wall mounting options, enabling scalable control cabinets. The 20x20x13 inch footprint fits standard control-panel footprints, simplifying layout planning and spare-parts inventory. UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certification support regulatory compliance for electrical installations in manufacturing, processing, and facilities environments. The combination of NEMA 12 protection and 304 stainless steel helps meet demanding washdown, chemical exposure, and climate conditions while maintaining serviceability and low total cost of ownership. From a total-cost-of-ownership perspective, investing in stainless, gasketed, and easily serviced enclosures reduces corrosion-related replacement costs and maintenance labor. The option for external mounting feet improves anchoring in uneven surfaces, while 304 SS construction supports longer service life in oil-contaminated or washdown zones. This design also supports preventive maintenance programs by offering straightforward access for inspections and component swaps, ensuring uptime across critical automation lines.
