Quick take
Choosing an industrial control panel enclosure usually comes down to size, enclosure type, and how much you want to spend. These four options span a listed price range from $50 to $113.99, so the first decision is whether you need a large 24-inch cabinet, a compact 8x6x4 box, or a mid-size enclosure for a built-in control panel. The SCE 24"x9"x12" cabinet is the largest and highest-priced, while the Hammond HJ12108HLP is the lowest-priced listed option. Two others sit close in price: the Berner SLC07-1072AA-BK and the SCE 8"x6"x4". All but the Hammond are listed as new open-box units.

Product notes
SCE Industrial Control Panel Enclosure 24"x9"x12" Saginaw Cabinet 4086462 M09756
This is the largest enclosure in the group, with outer dimensions listed as 24" long, 9" deep, and 12" high, and it is the highest-priced item here at $113.99. The model line includes 3R, 12, and 4 ratings in the model number, which points to multi-purpose enclosure use. The white finish is distinct from the gray options elsewhere in this comparison. It is listed as new open box with a panel mounting style, making it a straightforward candidate when you need a roomier cabinet for control components or terminal wiring. The main trade-off is the footprint: a 24-inch-long enclosure takes up more panel space and carries the highest listed price, so confirm your mounting area before choosing it.
Berner International Enclosed Industrial Control Panel SLC07-1072AA-BK *PI
The Berner SLC07-1072AA-BK is positioned as a complete enclosed control panel rather than just an empty cabinet. It is listed at $95.00, near the SCE 8x6x4 in price but with a different role: the title calls it an enclosed control panel and the listed type is Control Panel. It is new without factory packaging, and the description notes a minor dent on the side, so the box may show some cosmetic wear. The unit quantity is listed as one, and it is made in the United States. If you are replacing an existing enclosed panel and want a drop-in unit, this is the only complete panel here. The cosmetic dent is the main limitation to plan around.
Hammond HJ12108HLP Industrial Control Panel Enclosure Waterproof Electrical Box
At $50.00, the Hammond HJ12108HLP is the lowest listed price in this roundup. It is a rectangular gray metal enclosure with a panel mounting style, and the description carries NEMA Type 4, 13, and 12 ratings, which means it is built for dust, water, and corrosion resistance. The listed condition is used, and the manufacture date is August 16, 2019, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. For a project that needs a Type 12/4-style box without a large outlay, this is the lowest-priced listing here. The used condition is the trade-off: unlike the other three units listed as new open box, this one is explicitly used, so inspect it for the condition that matters to your installation.
SCE SCE-806ELJ. ENCLOSURE Type 12 8"X6"X4" INDUSTRIAL CONTROL PANEL Nema 3R
This Saginaw Control & Engineering enclosure is the compact option, with dimensions listed as 8" long, 6" wide, and 4" high. It is priced at $94.67, nearly the same as the Berner panel, but it is a Type 12 and 4 enclosure with a gray metal body and panel mounting. The title also mentions Nema 3R, so it covers a few enclosure-style references. If your wiring job is small and you need a metal enclosure that fits into a tight footprint, this is the most space-conscious choice. Because it is only 8x6x4, internal clearance will be limited for larger breakers or controllers. It is listed as new open box, so the box condition should be clean.
Final recommendation by use case
- Need the biggest cabinet? The SCE 24"x9"x12" at $113.99 gives you the largest listed dimensions and a white finish.
- Need a complete control panel? The Berner SLC07-1072AA-BK at $95.00 is the only listed model described as an enclosed control panel.
- Need a compact Type 12 box? The SCE 8"x6"x4" at $94.67 keeps the footprint small and adds gray metal Type 12 styling.
- Want the lowest listed price? The Hammond HJ12108HLP at $50.00 is the least expensive option, though it is a used unit.
Match your decision first on size and enclosure type, then use listed price to break the tie.
