CSFI Self Sealing Fasteners Optimize NEMA Enclosures




NEMA enclosures are electrical enclosures used in industrial applications. NEMA, the US non-profit National Electrical Manufacturers Association defines the standards for such enclosures which are rated to protect against (1) personnel access to hazardous parts and (2) environmental hazards such as water, dust, oil or coolant or conditions subject to corrosive agents. NEMA participates extensively in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) headquartered in Geneva.

CSFI's fasteners are perfectly suited to meet the requirements of NEMA enclosures as well as the standards of the IEC. With respect to personnel access, CSFI sells a wide variety of its sealing fasteners with Security/Tamper-Proof features that make them extremely difficult to access without authorized tools. CSFI's tamper proof recesses include sockets , 6-Lobe, 6-Lobes with pin, spanner and one way slotted fasteners. Indeed, CSFI is capable of turning any tamper proof fastener into a sealing fastener meeting both the security and environmental requirements of electrical enclosures.

In addition, CSFI's self-sealing fasteners set the standard for preventing invasive environmental hazards from intruding into electrical enclosures. CSFI's sealing screws are used on a wide variety of electrical enclosures including outdoor commercial lighting protecting LED lamps, ballards and fixtures. CSFI's fasteners protect high value equipment out in the field as well as in manufacturing facilities, communications equipment, air filtration and compression systems, as well as all manner of security apparatus from outdoor cameras to night vision goggles.

CSFI's products have become a critical part of the electrical components supply chain protecting enclosures on products produced in the US, the UK, Europe and Asia. CSFI's parts meet environmental requirements set by international standards including ROHS, REACH conflict mineral requirements and the standards set in California Proposition 65. CSFI's self-sealing fasteners are inherently green, manufactured with minimal environmental impact and intended to protect the environment in which they are placed as well as the internal workings of the machinery they protect to minimize waste.
