Agency approvals listed by Jameco include CE and cULus, and the product is RoHS, REACH, and USMCA compliant.
Key Features and Benefits
Injected polycarbonate box and cover construction - Provides a lightweight, non-metallic enclosure body that supports corrosion resistance for compatible indoor and outdoor installations.
Formed-in-place (FIP) polyurethane gasket - Helps support the IP66 and NEMA 4X seal when the enclosure is closed and latched according to the manufacturer's installation guidance.
Snap-in polycarbonate hinge knuckle - Supports tool-free cover removal and reinstallation, helping simplify access to internal components.
Snap-latch closure with integrated mounting flange - Supports secure panel or surface mounting and quick cover access without additional hardware.
NEMA Type 4X and Type 13 rated - Supports use in environments where protection against dust, oil, and water ingress is required, within the manufacturer's stated limits.
IP66 rated - Supports protection against powerful water jets and total dust ingress, within the manufacturer's stated limits.
RoHS, REACH, and USMCA compliant - Supports use in applications with regulatory compliance requirements for restricted substances and North American trade compliance.

What type of gasket does this enclosure use?
The PCJ181610LF uses a formed-in-place (FIP) polyurethane gasket, as specified in the manufacturer's datasheet, to help support the enclosure's environmental seal when properly closed and latched.
Is mounting hardware included with this enclosure?
The enclosure includes an integrated mounting flange. Refer to the manufacturer's datasheet and CAD drawings for mounting hole locations and hardware specifications before installation.
Is this enclosure RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. The PCJ181610LF is listed as RoHS compliant, REACH compliant, and USMCA compliant on the Jameco product page. Compliance documentation is available through Hammond Manufacturing at hammfg.com/compliance.
Are CAD files available for this enclosure?
Yes. Hammond Manufacturing provides CAD PDF, DXF, and 3D STEP files for the PCJ181610LF. Links to these files are available on the Jameco product page.
Customer Concerns
Will this enclosure maintain its seal in a washdown or high-moisture environment?
The PCJ181610LF is rated NEMA Type 4X and IP66 as listed by the manufacturer, which supports protection against water ingress including directed water jets, within the manufacturer's stated limits. Proper installation and latching according to the datasheet are required to maintain the seal. Verify that your application's specific environmental conditions are within the enclosure's rated limits.
Is a polycarbonate enclosure durable enough for industrial use?
The PCJ181610LF uses an injected polycarbonate box and cover, as confirmed in the manufacturer's datasheet. Polycarbonate is a common material choice for non-metallic industrial enclosures. Verify that the material is suitable for your specific chemical exposure, temperature range, and mechanical requirements before installation.
