NEMA and IP Rated Enclosure Accessories

All the enclosure accessories you need to put your design into action

After selecting your NEMA or IP-rated box, you need related components to make your enclosure functional without compromising its dust and moisture protection.

We’ve been at this for almost 100 years, so every NEMA-rated enclosure accessory you may need is available from Bud. Accessories include:

• Cable glands that help preserve rated protection
• Internal panels for mounting components
• Mounting brackets that let you put your box where you need it
• Moisture vents that help eliminate damaging condensation

Cable Glands

Cable glands are the most common enclosure accessories for NEMA and IP rated models. Boxes may be tightly sealed, but every cutout for a signal wire, power cable, etc. could provide an opening for environmental contaminants to enter the enclosure and damage your electronic design. Fortunately, Bud offers a wide variety of cable glands in many sizes and material types. The glands provide a secure seal that preserves the protection of your enclosure investment from moisture, contamination, corrosion, and even flammable gas.

By the way, Bud can modify enclosures with cutouts to accept cable glands, vents, and other components. Most of our NEMA and IP enclosures are in our industry-leading modifications program, which makes cutouts to your specs in as few as five days.

NEMA-Rated and IP-Rated Vents

Bud offers a variety of vents that meet various levels of NEMA protection. Our IP-rated enclosure accessories include remarkable IP-rated vents, which allow air circulation but block moisture, even under water! Using a high-tech membrane, these vents:

• Allow air pressure to change gradually, avoiding gasket failures in extreme weathe
• Slow temperature changes which could otherwise encourage condensation
• Provide a path for heat to exit the enclosure.

Enclosure Internal Mounting Panels

Mounting your design into the enclosure should not be an afterthought. Installation of printed circuit boards and electrical components should be easy, and changes in the field should be easy as well. A simple solution is to use an internal mounting panel. With the panel removed from the enclosure, it is easy to mount components. Then the panel may be installed inside the enclosure. This avoids damaging the integrity of the enclosure, as well.

Bud offers internal mounting panels made of steel, aluminum, and plastic that are sized to fit their respective enclosures.
