A multi-door enclosure includes an enclosure body, a primary door having an actuator and a secondary door. An interlock member having a holding section extends between the primary door and the secondary door. As the primary door closes, the actuator contacts the interlock member to translate the interlock member towards the secondary door until the holding section engages the secondary door.

Embodiments of the invention provide enclosures for electronic components and methods for manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the enclosure includes first and second sidewalls formed from a single elongated piece of sheet metal. The first sidewall, the second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall define an interior space of the enclosure. At least one of the first and second sidewalls includes an edge region folded inwardly relative to the interior space to form a mounting channel. The enclosure further includes a backwall coupled with first edges of the sidewalls and a door hingedly coupled with a second edge of at least one of the sidewalls.

An air conditioner for an enclosure that can include a housing that partly defines an ambient air exchange cavity and a tub that further defines the ambient air exchange cavity and partly defines a cooling cavity. The tub can support a first heat exchanger within the ambient air exchange cavity, and a second heat exchanger and a fan within the cooling cavity. The second heat exchanger can be included in a coolant flow loop with the first heat exchanger and the fan can move air across the second heat exchanger and into the inlet of the enclosure. The second heat exchanger can be located above the fan. A fluid trap can be provided below the second heat exchanger and adjacent the fan to capture condensate from the second heat exchanger and can direct the condensate into the ambient air exchange cavity for disposal.
