Enclosure Backplates

Enclosure backplates and panels are offset from the back of the enclosure allowing electrical devices to be mounted without compromising the integrity or NEMA rating of the enclosure. Most back panels come with pre-cut holes to match the mounting holes in the enclosure. These interior panels can also be removed or replaced, allowing the components to be easily worked on, without uninstalling the entire electrical cabinet. Back panels are made of steel, fiberglass, aluminum, wood, galvanized steel, painted steel, as well as composite materials.
Allied Moulded enclosure back panel kits are available in aluminum, fiberglass, galvanized steel, PVC and white painted carbon steel.
Hoffman Perforated Panels are 16 gauge steel and used for mounting lightweight control components. They eliminate the need to measure, mark and drill when mounting components.
Hoffman Composite Panels are manufactured from reinforced phenolic laminate sheet stock, which has exceptional strength and chemical resistance. Composite panels can be drilled and tapped and are intended for use in corrosion-resistant enclosures.
Hoffman Panels for Type 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 13 enclosures are aluminum, painted steel or Type 316 stainless steel. Some larger panels have flanges on two or four sides and include extra holes for panel lifting.
Hoffman Panels for free-stand single and dual access one-door enclosures are 12 gauge painted steel and can be positioned anywhere along the horizontal mounting channels. Half-length panels can be located in the upper and lower portion of the enclosure.
Hoffman Panels for WiFi cabinets are available in either 14 gauge painted steel or ¾ inch plywood. Wood panels are supplied with POLYPRO Type 4X WiFi cabinets and Fiberglass Hinged-Cover cabinets.
