Quick Summary

Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2100A Snap Switch is a rugged, watertight control device designed for surface-mounted, single-pole operation in industrial environments. Engineers often face ingress, corrosion, and downtime when switches are exposed to dust, moisture, or washdown cycles. This model provides IP66 protection and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping to minimize maintenance and extend service life. With copper-free aluminum housing and a 277 Vac rating, it balances durability with ease of procurement for Pauluhn-based installations. The combination of a compact single-gang, surface-mount footprint and standard 15A ratings translates into reliable performance in control panels, light circuits, and equipment enclosures, delivering measurable lifecycle cost savings and predictable uptime.

Feature 1: Copper-free aluminum housing provides excellent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance needs and extending switch life in harsh environments. Business Impact: Lower material degradation costs and fewer field replacements. Application: Outdoor controls, washdown areas, and damp facilities where copper-containing parts would corrode. Feature 2: IP66 ingress protection shields internal components from dust and water exposure, enhancing reliability in non-hazardous locations. Business Impact: Increased uptime and reduced failure-related downtime across production lines. Application: Enclosures and panels near washdown stations or dusty processes. Feature 3: Surface mount, single-gang, single-pole configuration simplifies retrofits and new installations alike. Business Impact: Faster installation, reduced labor, and easier stocking for maintenance teams. Application: Control panels, localized switching, and light-control circuits. Feature 4: 15A amperage rating at 277 Vac supports common industrial control circuits while maintaining a compact form factor. Business Impact: Versatile interoperability with standard lighting and motor-control circuits; lower wiring complexity. Application: Lighting, conveyor, and equipment control in ordinary locations. Feature 5: Pauluhn 2100 series integration delivers watertight reliability with a proven form factor. Business Impact: Consistent performance across replacements and upgrades with minimal compatibility concerns. Application: Pauluhn-based systems and compatible enclosures. Feature 6: Comprehensive technical documentation and downloadable resources (catalog page, installation sheets, datasheet) facilitate rapid spec confirmation and compliant installations. Business Impact: Accelerated project timelines, reduced misinterpretation risks, and compliance confidence for field technicians.
