Enclosure for Electrical Components

The Hoffman AHE8X8X6 is a carbon steel enclosure rated NEMA 1 and IP30 for indoor use. It protects wiring, terminal blocks or small control devices in dry environments. The powder coated gray finish resists corrosion on the 14/16 ga metal body. Mounting holes allow direct wall installation for industrial or commercial panels.

Quarter Turn Latch Upgrade

This model replaces enclosures that rely on multiple screws for cover access. The single 1/4 turn latch with screwdriver slot opens the solid cover in seconds, cutting service time on live panels. The jump is worth it when technicians open the box daily for inspection or rewiring and need a secure, tool operated closure that cannot vibrate loose.

Internal Space and Limits

The 8 by 8 by 6 inch cavity holds a modest DIN rail assembly, a few relays or a small transformer with room for cable bending radius. It runs out when a project demands multiple contactors, a PLC rack or forced air cooling, because the solid cover and NEMA 1 rating provide no ventilation or gland plates. Builders needing higher ingress protection or deeper device mounting must specify a different series.

Questions about this item

Will the 14/16 ga carbon steel box with mounting holes fit my 8 in by 8 in wall space?

The enclosure measures 8 in high by 8 in wide and 6 in deep with integral mounting holes for direct wall mounting.

How do I secure the cover using the 1/4-turn latch with screwdriver slot?

Align the solid cover, insert a screwdriver into the latch slot and rotate a quarter turn until the latch engages fully.

What upkeep does the powder-coated gray finish and IP30 rating require over time?

Wipe the powder-coated surface clean periodically and verify the 1/4-turn latch still seals the enclosure to maintain the IP30 rating.
