IP66 protection isn’t optional in harsh environments; it keeps out dust and water, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance calls. For surface-mount panels in manufacturing lines, the rugged enclosure protection translates to safer operation and longer mean time between failures. Copper-free aluminum housing lowers weight during install and resists corrosion in washdown and high-humidity areas. This metallurgy choice also helps extend product life in tough plant environments and reduces long-term replacement costs. With surface-mount, single-gang footprint and two-pole wiring, the 2112A simplifies retrofits in tight control panels. The 3.5 in depth and roughly 4.6 in height enable straightforward mounting while leaving wiring space for standard 250 VAC circuits. I t s electrical rating—20A at 250 VAC—supports common industrial controls and lighting loads, while the Pauluhn 2100 series provides a proven design lineage for consistent, scalable installations. Installation and maintenance are streamlined by official documentation, including installation sheets and a dedicated data page, offering a predictable procurement path for plant-wide electrical protection solutions.

Wiring follows standard panel practices; its compact 3.5 in depth, 4.63 in height, and 3.88 in width support typical control-panel wiring layouts without requiring extensive enclosure modification.
The 2112A delivers 20A at 250 VAC and is constructed from copper-free aluminum. It carries IP66 ingress protection and is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This two-pole, single-gang switch is part of the Pauluhn 2100 series, offering rugged performance for standard industrial control circuits in typical plant environments.
Yes. The device is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and features IP66 protection, making it appropriate for ordinary indoor facilities or washdown-adjacent areas where dust and water exposure could occur. Its compact enclosure and mounting options facilitate safe, compliant operation in these environments.
Key certifications and compliance details include IP66 ingress protection and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification. Cataloged as 2112A within the Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn 2100 series, it aligns with standard industrial electrical protection expectations for non-hazardous settings and supports straightforward panel integrations.
Copper-free aluminum reduces corrosion risk and weight, contributing to lower maintenance requirements and easier handling during installation. The IP66 rating protects against washdown exposure, extending service life in challenging environments. These factors translate to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime for mid- to large-scale panel installations.
