Mike, That's a very good question. For dustproof requirements, NEMA 12 would be the logical choice. However, NEMA 4 also would work well. Once you have selected your desired materials, check out the products that are available through Newark and determine which NEMA rating is the most cost effectibve. Also, take a look at the whitepaper on the top 5 pitfalls in designing a NEMA enclosure! http://www.newark.com/pdfs/techarticles/bud/Top_5_pitfalls_designingNEMA_enclosures.pdf
