B-Line Eaton series fiberglass accessories, White powder coated, Steel, Fiberglass accessories, Fits 9" X 6" enclosures, Back panel, 14 gauge

The AW96P is sized for 9 x 6 inch enclosures in the Eaton B-Line fiberglass enclosure line. The panel itself measures 8.25 in by 4.875 in by 4.875 in, so it sits inside the 9 x 6 box footprint rather than matching it exactly. If your box is a different size, you need the back panel cut for that box, not this one.

Steel, with a white powder coated finish. It is catalogued with Eaton's B-Line fiberglass enclosure accessories because it mounts inside those fiberglass boxes, but the panel material itself is 14 gauge steel. That matters if you are mounting to it: you can drill and tap it and hang DIN rail, terminal blocks, or a small contactor off it.

Drilling the wall of a fiberglass enclosure breaks the environmental seal and voids the box rating. A back panel like the AW96P gives you a sacrificial mounting surface inside the box: you drill and tap the 14 gauge steel, not the enclosure. The panel drops onto the mounting studs already in the 9 x 6 box, and it can be pulled, laid on a bench for layout, and reinstalled wired.

It is listed to CSA C22.2, the Canadian Electrical Code component standard series, so it will pass on work specified to Canadian requirements.

It is a NEMA flanged panel, not a flat sheet. The flange is what gives you the 4.875 in depth dimension alongside the 8.25 in and 4.875 in face measurements, and it stiffens the panel so mounted gear does not flex it.

The white powder coated finish on the AW96P is a coated steel surface, and powder coat is the standard protective finish for panels sitting inside sealed enclosures. The protection against the environment is the enclosure itself, not the panel, so the panel finish is there to resist condensation and handling inside the box. If the box seal is intact, the coating is doing the job it was specified for.
