Rugged carbon steel enclosure with 14 gauge wall thickness delivers high impact resistance and long-term durability in harsh factory environments, reducing replacement costs and unplanned downtime. Coupled with a 14 in height and 10.75 in width, the PBX20 provides a compact footprint that fits tight control panels while maintaining accessible wiring spaces, accelerating installation and future rework. The NEMA 12 rating and oil-resistant gasket protect internal components from dust and light splashes, enabling reliable operation in dusty or semi-wet areas and lowering preventive maintenance cycles. A hinged cover and medium single door simplify routine access for routine testing and wiring changes, while external mounting feet support quick installation on flat surfaces without special fabrication. Removable cover, recessed pull ring, and plated screws streamline field servicing and component upgrades, reducing downtime during maintenance and retrofits. Finish color ANSI 61 gray and painted exterior offer a clean, professional appearance and consistent corrosion resistance across environments, supporting ongoing compliance with facility aesthetics and branding while maintaining performance. Designed for compatibility with the Eaton B-Line series, PBX20 ensures seamless integration with existing enclosures and mounting rails, which translates to faster project timelines and unified electrical infrastructure across the plant.

FAQs

PBX20 is designed for surface mounting with external mounting feet, providing fast, vibration-resistant installation on flat surfaces. Installation steps include aligning the enclosure, securing the feet to a solid surface, and attaching the hinged cover for easy access. The 14 in height and 10.75 in width provide a compact footprint that fits standard panel layouts while allowing space for wiring and peripherals.
The PBX20 carries a NEMA 12 rating, offering dust and light splash protection suitable for typical industrial environments. It includes an oil-resistant gasket to seal the enclosure, protecting internal control components from contaminants and moisture during routine operation and maintenance.
PBX20 is ideal for general industrial use requiring dust and light splash protection (NEMA 12). For heavy washdown or harsher chemical exposures, consider enclosures with higher protection ratings (such as NEMA 4/4X) to ensure extended component life and compliance with stricter environmental requirements.
PBX20 adheres to NEMA 12 protection standards and is manufactured in the United States, aligning with US-origin sourcing and typical industrial enclosure conventions. There are no additional certifications listed beyond these specifications, so verify project requirements for any site-specific regulatory needs.
The PBX20 offers quick maintenance access with a removable cover and recessed pull ring, plus plated screws for durable field servicing. External mounting feet simplify installation, reducing labor costs. Its rugged carbon steel body and gasket protection lower long-term replacement and repair expenses, contributing to faster payback in new builds and retrofit projects.
