Nema4 Enclosure, need an inexpensive option

Catwell over 15 years ago

I need a Nema4 enclosure roughly 10" x 10" x 6" for less than $50 US dollars.

Let me know where I can get one, or where to look.

Thanks.

These are all great options. However, the metal enclosures are not sealed enough for my electronics.

I need a box like this here, but I would like it to be half the price. $60 is just too much money for a box. Any options out there?

I would suggest giving the company you posted a call. As a salesman, I would negotiate a price!

Josiah,

Great product link. That Bud enclosure is what I am using now, but your link is the cheapest I've ever seen.
Thank you very much.

Josiah,

I also need the backplate for that cabinet. Can you find the part number for me? I am having a hard time finding it.

A metal backplate would be prefered.

Thank you.

Not an issue at all. The Bud part number is NBX10986. You can find it at the following link:
http://www.newark.com/bud-industries/nbx-10986/enclosure-panel/dp/83F5565

If you decide you want it in plastic as opposed to the 16ga Steel panel, just add an "PL" to the end of it (NBX10986PL)

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Josiah

Josiah,

Way to come through on the enclosure. I am going to go with your suggestion. And I'm going to try the plastic back plate. I'm not sure how I am going to ground the entire system that way. Normally I place the AC ground on the backplate.

Thanks again.
