Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2433A Toggle Switch - Three-way
Part Number: 2433A
Quick Summary
2433A toggle switch provides rugged control for Pauluhn 2400 enclosures in industrial panels. Design challenges like corrosion, mounting compatibility, and downtime in harsh plants are common; this switch addresses those by using copper-free aluminum and a surface-mount footprint. Note the area classification is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, and there are no listed SIL, CE, or IP ratings in this data; ensure your compliance checks align with project specs. Together, these features support faster installations, lower maintenance, and consistent performance in panel-building workflows. Engineers and procurement teams gain confidence from the documented ratings and configuration options, helping align hardware selection with project schedules and uptime targets.

Copper-free aluminum housing reduces weight and resists corrosion, extending life in damp environments. Business impact: lower installation effort, extended service life, and reduced downtime in harsh environments. Application: ideal for surface-mount installations on control panels, instrument housings, and weather-exposed enclosures in industrial facilities. Three-way configuration enables multi-location control without extra parts, simplifying wiring schemes. The business impact is faster commissioning, easier fault isolation, and reduced spare parts inventory. Application: suitable for start/stop and remote control circuits in packaging lines, conveyors, and machine tool panels. Surface mounting and a compact footprint streamline panel design. The 3.5 in depth, 4.63 in height, and 3.44 in width reduce chassis cutouts and improve layout flexibility. It aligns with Pauluhn 2400 series enclosures, supporting standard mounting patterns used in electrical protection and circuit control deployments. With a 20 A amperage rating at 250 VAC, the switch delivers reliable power control for typical automation circuits without oversizing hardware. This compatibility reduces wiring changes and ensures robust switching for control panels, motor starters, and instrument panels in ordinary environments. Documentation and install resources, including the Pauluhn Weatherproof Toggle Switch catalog page and installation sheets, support fast, compliant deployments. Engineers benefit from ready-made references that shorten procurement cycles, reduce rework, and improve change-management during panel builds and maintenance.

FAQs
The 2433A is designed for surface-mount installation on Pauluhn 2400 series enclosures, offering a three-way switch configuration in copper-free aluminum. This compatibility simplifies panel layouts and reduces hardware complexity, making it straightforward to integrate into existing control panels and enclosure assemblies without special adapters or extensive rework.
Key specs include a 20 A amperage rating at 250 VAC, a three-way switch design, and a copper-free aluminum body. It measures 3.5 in in depth, 4.63 in in height, and 3.44 in in width, and weighs about 1.8 lb. The catalog indicates suitability for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The product is listed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, which means it is intended for standard industrial environments without hazardous location ratings. For applications in potentially hazardous areas, verify compliance with project-specific safety standards and confirm any additional enclosure or protection is required.
Mount it as a surface-mounted device aligned with Pauluhn 2400 enclosure standards. The three-way configuration allows multiple control paths, reducing wiring complexity. Review the installation sheets referenced in the datasheet suite to ensure correct wiring, terminal layout, and panel cutouts are prepared prior to panel fabrication and commissioning.
Copper-free aluminum housing offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight, contributing to longer service life and lower maintenance costs in damp environments. The 20 A at 250 VAC rating accommodates common automation loads, while the three-way configuration minimizes spare parts and wiring changes, delivering faster maintenance cycles and improved uptime over standard copper-based switches.
