Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2111B Snap Switch - IP66 Watertight
Part Number: 2111B
Quick Summary
The 2111B Snap Switch by Eaton Crouse-Hinds provides reliable switching for control panels and equipment enclosures. In harsh environments, moisture, dust, or corrosion can degrade performance and lead to costly downtime. This model addresses those risks with IP66 protection and brass construction, making it suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and washdown areas. Its surface-mount, single-gang, single-pole design simplifies installation and reduces panel depth requirements. By standardizing on the Pauluhn 2100 family, maintenance crews benefit from consistent replacement parts and streamlined spare-parts planning, while OEMs gain faster time-to-market through a familiar form factor and stock availability.

IP66 protection translates to rugged ingress protection, reducing downtime from moisture and dust intrusion in washdown or outdoor environments, while maintaining safe, reliable operation in exposed enclosures. This enables you to deploy the 2111B in harsh locations without compromising control integrity, translating to lower service costs and higher equipment uptime in manufacturing lines and processing plants. The 20A, 250 Vac rating supports typical control circuits and motor-start applications within industrial panels, allowing you to consolidate components and simplify wiring schematics while meeting margin requirements for safety and code adherence. Brass construction offers superior corrosion resistance versus plated alternatives, extending service life in humid environments and chemical washing regimes common in food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing facilities. Surface mounting with a single-gang, single-pole footprint provides straightforward installation and retrofit compatibility, reducing panel rework and enabling rapid implementation in existing Pauluhn enclosures. As part of the Pauluhn 2100 series, the 2111B ensures compatibility with a broad ecosystem of watertight, surface-mounted switches, improving spare-parts management and facilitating standardized maintenance across multiple lines and facilities. This combination of form factor and protection makes the 2111B an attractive choice for OEMs and maintenance teams pursuing reliability, compliance, and cost efficiency in industrial automation projects.
