Copper-free aluminum
Copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance while keeping weight low, reducing handling effort and transport costs on site. This translates to longer service life in chemical plants or coastal facilities and lower maintenance frequency when used as a hazardous-area enclosure for field terminations. Through-feed design with a 3/4" trade size enables straightforward conduit pass-through and simplified wiring, cutting installation time and enabling faster panel commissioning in tight equipment bays. IP66 and NEMA 4 ratings protect against dust, water ingress, and washdowns, delivering reliable performance in outdoor or wet-process environments and minimizing downtime due to enclosure leaks. The surface-mount style and compact footprint (6 in height, 2.38 in width, 3.38 in depth) offer a practical fit in crowded electrical rooms, with a 1.75 lb weight facilitating rapid mounting and service access. Compatibility with the Pauluhn HFS series ensures seamless integration with existing hazardous-area components, reducing part variety and inventory costs. NEC/CEC compliance plus hazardous-location classifications Class I Division 2; Zone 2; Class II Division 1 and 2; Class III provide confidence for code-driven installations and inspections, supporting safer, more predictable enclosure performance in demanding industrial environments. This combination of material, form factor, and ratings makes HFSC-2BC a robust solution for surface-mounted junctions and device terminations in hazardous locations, delivering measurable reductions in downtime and total cost of ownership.
