NEMA 6 Enclosures

NEMA 6 enclosures and boxes are an ideal solution for waterproof electronic and electrical applications. NEMA Type 6 requirements guarantee that electrical enclosures are suitable for general outdoor use, as well as in a variety of environments where equipment is exposed to harsh elements or encounters temporary submersion in water at a limited depth. Available in aluminum or polycarbonate plastic, NEMA 6 enclosures come in a variety of styles, including hinged, pole-mount, and wall-mount to serve virtually any industry.

Read more below to learn about what NEMA 6 enclosures can offer and how to choose the best option for your application.

NEMA 6 Enclosures Applications

NEMA 6 enclosures are a standard choice for a variety of highly demanding applications where environmental factors like hose-directed water, falling dirt, windblown dust, and submersion are in play. They’re widely used as junction boxes and control panel enclosures in industrial applications, particularly when sensitive automation systems or hazardous parts are in play that need maximum protection from the ingress of water and dirt. However, NEMA 6 is also a popular enclosure type for applications like scientific instruments and devices in water treatment facilities, all of which can be subject to occasional temporary submersion.

Our Enclosure Ratings

To create the most versatile enclosure solutions for our customers, we also design our NEMA 6 enclosures to comply with other important NEMA ratings and provide additional degrees of protection from common hazards. Other important ratings to look for on NEMA enclosures include:

  • NEMA 4X enclosure rating for corrosion resistance
  • NEMA 6P enclosure rating for prolonged submersion at a limited depth
  • NEMA 3S or 3SX enclosure ratings for resistance to ice formation
  • NEMA 12 enclosures for indoor use
