CLEVELAND, Ohio — August 18, 2010 — Bud Industries, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of electronics enclosures, announced that its popular SNB sheet-metal box
is now available in stainless steel. Constructed of 16 ga. 304 stainless steel, the new
NEMA box is ideal for harsh environments and applications where sturdy steel, security,
and a seal against moisture are required.
Like other enclosures in Bud’s NEMA box line, the stainless steel SNB is suitable for use
in a broad range of outdoor applications such as wind turbines and solar power systems,
as well as for housing industrial controls in wash-down, marine, and corrosive
environments such as in the food or medical industries. The SNB Series is part of Bud’s
complete range of electronics enclosures including cabinet racks, aluminum enclosures,
and plastic NEMA boxes.
Care has been taken in the design of this NEMA box to maximize protection of sensitive
electronics and critical electrical controls. The SNB Series has continuous welded seams
and a hinged cover that has a water-tight seal. The hinged cover clamps to the base with a
keyed quarter-turn latch that requires a non-traditional key for added security. External
mounting brackets allow the box to be mounted on a wall or panel without having to
remove the cover and expose internal components to the environment.
The enclosure is designed to meet the requirements of NEMA 1, 2, 4, 4X, 12 and 13. UL
listing is pending.
Bud’s new NEMA box is a breakthrough in both engineering and price. It includes a steel
mounting panel that most other vendors supply at additional cost. It has a stainless steel
hinge and all stainless steel hardware.
Available in 13 sizes ranging from 9.84 × 5.91 × 5.91 inches to 15.75 × 12.01 × 7.87
inches, the boxes are easily machined and modified. Bud is more willing than some
enclosure manufacturers to make modifications, such as custom cutouts that allow for
meter readout and cable entry.
These are among the more than 2,500 products that Bud offers, more than 90 percent of
which are available for same-day shipment. The company also offers direct design
support and an Enclosure Design Tips Handbook for creating optimal design and
engineering solutions, available at www.budind.com/51.
