When should you consider a hinged enclosure for your application — and what makes Polycase’s hinged enclosures the best choice? Explore hinged enclosure options below.
Why Use a Hinged Electrical Enclosure?
Using an electrical enclosure with a hinged door panel provides convenient access to the components inside an enclosure without compromising security and protection. These enclosures typically use a hinged front panel that opens via a set of latches or, in some cases, a keyed lock. Models without a built-in lock include a padlock hasp so the user can attach their own padlock for security.
Outdoor hinged enclosures can also have watertight and dust tight IP and NEMA ratings. Through the use of sturdy materials like polycarbonate and stainless steel, plus a silicone gasket, these enclosures maintain strong protection from environmental hazards. They can be an excellent option for heavy-duty outdoor applications that require both robust protection and easy access to electrical components.
Applications for hinged enclosure boxes vary widely — from industrial control panels to outdoor WiFi routers to security systems. Essentially, any application that requires a combination of security, protection, and convenient access can be a strong candidate for a hinged enclosure.
