Electrical Enclosure for Indoor Wiring

This carbon-steel enclosure measures 12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 4 inches deep. It carries a NEMA Type 1 rating and an IP30 rating for basic indoor protection against solid objects. The powder-coated gray finish resists corrosion in dry environments. Mounting holes allow direct wall installation.

Thermal and Power Characteristics

The solid metal body dissipates heat from enclosed components through natural convection without fans or active cooling. No power is drawn by the enclosure itself, so it adds no electrical load to the circuit. Screw-latch closure maintains a consistent seal during normal operation. Noise is limited to any equipment mounted inside.

NEMA Type 1 Rating Decides Suitability

This rating confirms the enclosure is intended for indoor use where falling dirt is the primary concern. It does not protect against water, oil, coolant or outdoor weather exposure. Buyers who need protection from liquids, dust ingress or outdoor conditions must select a higher-rated enclosure. The 12-gauge to 16-gauge steel construction meets UL 50 and 50E listings and cUL per CSA C 22.2 No 40.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the ASE12X12X4NK enclosure and what is the common mistake?

Use the pre-drilled mounting holes to secure the 12-inch-high carbon-steel box to a wall or panel; the step often missed is tightening all captive screws evenly so the gasket seals to its IP30 rating.

What maintenance will the powder-coated finish and captive screws need over time?

Inspect the gray powder coat annually for scratches that could expose the 12/14/16 ga steel to corrosion, and verify each captive screw still turns freely and retains its latch tension.

What is the first limitation you hit when the enclosure runs continuously at its rated ambient?

The NEMA Type 1 and IP30 ratings mean the solid cover blocks only solid objects larger than the test probe and provides no defence against dripping water or fine dust, so moisture ingress becomes the limiting factor.
