Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in wet, dusty, or humid environments, reducing ongoing maintenance costs and downtime. This translates to lower total cost of ownership for remote or harsh panels and improved reliability in conveyor, pump, or equipment controls. The IP66 ingress protection protects critical switch contacts from water and dust ingress, enabling safe operation in washdown zones or outdoor enclosures, while maintaining consistent performance. The surface-mount two-gang form factor saves panel space and simplifies wiring, enabling faster installation and easier future expansion in control cabinets and machinery housings. With a 20 A rating and 1 HP at 120 V / 2 HP at 240 V, the 1869B handles common motor and accessory loads without overspec, improving energy efficiency and reducing switch wear. Compatibility with the Pauluhn 862/1869/1871 family allows straightforward retrofits and replacements, minimizing downtime during upgrades or service. Comprehensive installation resources, including LBL1511 instructions and Eaton data sheets, streamline commissioning and ensure compliance in industrial environments.
