B-Line Eaton series panels and panel accessories, Smooth brushed, Aluminum, Panels and panel accessories, Fits 6" X 6" enclosures, JIC and small panel

The AW66AP panel is made for 6 x 6 inch enclosures, which is the JIC and small panel size range. The panel itself measures 4.87 in height, 4.87 in length/depth and 6 in width, so it sits inside the box rather than covering the full 6 x 6 footprint. If your enclosure is larger than 6 x 6, you need the panel sized to that box instead.

Aluminum, with a smooth brushed finish. That means it is lighter than a steel subpanel (the AW66AP weighs .188 lb) and it will not rust, which is why aluminum panels get used in washdown and outdoor enclosures. Practical trade-off: aluminum threads are softer than steel, so if you are tapping the panel for machine screws, don't overtorque them.

Order model AW66AP from the Eaton B-Line panels and panel accessories line. It is a single-model item, so there is no finish or size choice to specify: aluminum, smooth brushed, sized for 6 x 6 enclosures.

The AW66AP is the panel itself, an aluminum mounting plate for 6 x 6 enclosures. Small JIC enclosures normally come with their own panel mounting studs or brackets welded in the back of the box, so the panel bolts to what is already there. If your enclosure was supplied without those studs, source them with the enclosure, not with the panel.

Yes. That is what a subpanel is for: the AW66AP gives you a flat aluminum surface inside a 6 x 6 enclosure to drill, tap or self-tap for DIN rail, terminal blocks, relays or a small contactor, so you are not putting holes through the enclosure wall and breaking its seal. Aluminum drills easily; use machine screws with a nut or a thread-forming screw rather than deep taps in thin stock.

NEMA is the standard cited for the AW66AP panel. Keep in mind the environmental rating of an installation comes from the enclosure and its gasketing, not from the interior mounting panel, so the box you are putting it in is what determines NEMA 1, 4, 4X and so on.
