When specifying electrical enclosures for wet or outdoor environments, understanding NEMA ratings ensures equipment protection and longevity. Two commonly specified ratings—NEMA 6 and NEMA 6P—offer robust water protection, but knowing the distinction can prevent costly equipment failures or over-specification. What does NEMA 6 Mean? NEMA 6 is a rating established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association indicating an enclosure’s ability to protect electrical equipment in wet locations. This rating confirms that an enclosure can withstand rain, washdowns, and temporary submersion…

What distinguishes a simple metal or plastic box from a functional electronic enclosure? Most often, it’s the modifications necessary to allow access to the interior, stabilize and protect its contents, and present the appropriate appearance. Enclosures typically need a minimum of one cutout for a power cable and often many other modifications, which can include holes, cutouts, tappings, gaskets, pre-assembly, and finishing. For many design engineers, specifying enclosure modifications is the final step in the design cycle, with time-to-market pressure…
