Durable carbon steel construction with 16 gauge walls provides long service life and improved mechanical protection, reducing unplanned downtime and repair costs in demanding environments. The oil resistant gasket enhances dust and oil ingress protection, delivering reliable performance in manufacturing floors where lubricants and coolants are common. The PBC2 supports surface mounting and external mounting feet, enabling fast, flexible installation on walls or equipment frames and simplifying retrofits in existing control panels. A removable cover, recessed pull ring, and plated screws streamline maintenance activities, decreasing service time during inspections and repairs. The small single door design and ANSI 61 gray painted finish offer a compact, professional appearance for controlled enclosures in space-constrained installations. With carbon steel and NEMA 12 protection, this enclosure is a practical, cost-effective choice for standard control panel housings in US facilities.

FAQs
The PBC2 is designed for surface mounting with external mounting feet, allowing installation on walls or equipment frames. For best results, mount on a clean, flat surface and use the external feet to align the enclosure with operator access and panel interfaces, then secure with appropriate fasteners and gasket seating to maintain NEMA 12 protection.
Key specs are a 3.25 in height, 6.25 in width, and 4.81 in depth, made from carbon steel with 16 gauge wall thickness, and a painted ANSI 61 gray finish. The enclosure weighs approximately 3 lb, making it manageable for installation and field servicing.
The PBC2 is NEMA 12 rated, providing protection against dust and non-metallic liquids in general industrial environments. It features an oil-resistant gasket, which helps resist oil exposure typical in machine shops and production lines, though it is not a washdown-rated enclosure.
The model is rated NEMA 12 and is manufactured in the United States. CE, SIL, and IP certifications are not listed for this specific model, so compatibility should be verified against your project requirements and local codes.
The removable cover, recessed pull ring, and plated screws simplify field servicing, reducing maintenance time. Durable carbon steel construction and a robust gasket improve reliability, potentially lowering downtime and extending service life for control panels in busy production environments.
