FAQs
The 2104A is designed as a Pauluhn 2100 series snap switch, featuring a four-way, single‑gang form with a copper-free aluminum housing for compatibility in standard Pauluhn 2100 installations. Its surface-mount footprint simplifies retrofit work and minimizes enclosure modification, enabling straightforward alignment with existing Pauluhn components and wiring schemes.
Key specs include a 15A amperage rating and a 277 VAC voltage rating, which cover common industrial lighting and signaling circuits. The IP66 ingress protection rating provides robust dust and water resistance, while the copper-free aluminum enclosure supports corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
This switch is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for general industrial settings such as warehouses, manufacturing floors, and equipment rooms. Its IP66 protection helps in environments with exposure to dust, water, or washdown, ensuring dependable operation without frequent replacements.
Plan for a single-gang mounting footprint with a surface-mount backbox, allowing efficient wiring in tight spaces. The 3.5 in length, 4.63 in height, and 3.88 in width fit standard backbox enclosures, reducing bulk in control panels and enabling quicker commissioning with existing Pauluhn 2100 wiring practices.
Copper-free aluminum reduces corrosion-related maintenance, extending service life and lowering lifecycle costs. IP66 protection minimizes ingress-related failures, reducing downtime. Standardization on the 2104A across Pauluhn 2100 installations also streamlines spare parts and training, delivering measurable total-cost-of-ownership benefits.
