UL508 Plastic enclosures

[EEEngineer]

Does anyone know of any plastic enclosures for DIN rail products that are UL listed?

Is plastic (of suitable grade) suitable for UL508a approval? Looking through UL508a I don't see anything that specifically requires a metal enclosure but don't see any manufacturers that provide automation enclosures like this.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated

Hoffman, Hammond, Carlon, Stahlin, Vynckier, all have UL listed non-metallic enclosures available. Where have you been looking?

What do you mean by DINs?

Are you talking about components that can be installed on mounting tracks? Or are you talking about metering and instrumentation devices?

Have you looked for a listed plastic enclosure with a raised metal backing and then mount the din rail yourself to the metal backing thus avoiding putting holes in the enclosure? I'm assuming something in the 18" square and above range? I know Carlon makes steel back panels for many of they're NM enclosures, sold separately of course.

Maybe he is looking for a small box that mounts on a din rail to put other components in to make an assembly.
