Specification review against nema enclosure ratings
NEMA Enclosure Sourcing uses this page to walk a quoted catalog number against the request. We are an independent sourcing partner. We do not issue UL, CSA, CE or IEC marks, and we have not verified any proposed model in this round. A family page that mentions rainproof or washdown language is not proof that the quoted body carries the nema enclosure ratings you asked for. Type designations and IP codes stay two systems; a conversion chart is not a certificate.
Input
Provide the requested type designation, indoor or outdoor duty, usable panel space, door swing, mounting method, gland or knockout plan and accessory list. If you already hold a factory or distributor offer, include the full catalog number as it will appear on the invoice. Drawings help when entry locations are dimensioned; they do not replace the published type figure. Optional budget and supplier preference can travel with the brief; they do not change which listing file must be produced.
State which published figure and which standard the supplier used for mounting method, gland plates and accessory panels. A nominal exterior size is not a mounting-centre drawing. A back panel is often a separate part number and must be marked included or excluded.
Review
Line up the declared type for the exact catalog number against the request. Then line up interior usable dimensions and door opening, because those figures decide whether the equipment fits. Confirm gasket compound, hinge and latch construction, because a type number does not describe them. Confirm whether field-cut holes keep the product inside the listed configuration.
If the supplier proposes a different model under the same nema enclosure ratings heading, re-check the type record for that new number, interior space, mounting centres and accessory scope. A substitution that keeps the type word but drops corrosion resistance, changes unused-knockout rules or omits the back panel is a different purchase. Country of origin, finish system and packing belong on the same sheet so price is not compared across unequal goods.
Output
The working product of this page is a written specification list factories can quote against: catalog number or an explicit “to be matched” duty, type designation, interior dimensions, quantity, destination and the documents still missing. It is not a certificate and not a promise that the installation will pass inspection. Continue with the inquiry options, the procurement notes or the RFQ form when the file set is incomplete.
