Feature → Business Impact → Application: The PBP30 uses a carbon steel enclosure with 14 gauge wall thickness, delivering durable, impact-resistant housing that reduces panel damage in harsh environments; this translates to lower replacement costs and less downtime in manufacturing lines. Application: Ideal for assembly lines and packaging equipment where operators require quick, safe access to control devices while panels endure dust, oil, and incidental contact. Feature → Business Impact → Application: External mounting feet enable surface installation on existing panels without custom chassis, accelerating projects and enabling scalable deployments across multiple lines. Application: OEMs can standardize on a single enclosure family for multiple SKUs, improving inventory control and installation consistency. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Hinged closure and removable cover facilitate fast maintenance and component swaps, reducing maintenance window time and extending lifecycle in high-rotation control panels. Application: Food processing, logistics, and material handling environments where frequent access to controls is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Oil-resistant gasket and ANSI 61 gray finish provide chemical and corrosion resistance, supporting longer service intervals and lower replacement costs in challenging environments. Application: Industrial automation cabinets and switchgear housings in dusty or oily facilities.

FAQs
To install the PBP30, mount the enclosure surface-facing the panel, align it with external feet for level placement, and secure with appropriate fasteners. Ensure the hinged cover clears adjacent components and connect internal wiring per your control schematic. The external feet simplify retrofits by eliminating the need for new mounting plates, saving time during integration.
PBP30 measures 18.5 inches in height, 15 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. It uses surface mounting with external mounting feet, enabling quick installation on existing panels without modifying the frame. The enclosure features a hinged cover and a removable cover for fast maintenance access.
Yes. The PBP30 carries a NEMA 12 rating, providing protection against dust and oil ingress. Constructed from carbon steel with a 14 gauge wall and an oil-resistant gasket, it maintains enclosure integrity in harsh environments common to manufacturing, packaging, and material handling facilities.
The PBP30 is rated to NEMA 12 and is US-origin, reflecting its construction standards and manufacturing provenance. There are no additional certifications listed beyond these specifications, making it a straightforward choice for environments prioritizing NEMA protection and robust construction.
The hinged, removable cover enables rapid access for maintenance or replacement of internal components, reducing downtime. An oil-resistant gasket maintains sealing performance over time, while the exterior ANSI 61 gray finish resists corrosion. Combined, these features lower maintenance costs and extend service life in demanding industrial environments.
