FAQs

The 2443A is a surface-mount, three-way toggle switch designed for ordinary locations. Plan for a clean, flat mounting surface and adequate clearance around the actuator. Use proper torque on fasteners per the installation sheet and verify 250 VAC wiring is within the 30A rating. For retrofits, confirm existing backplane compatibility with the Pauluhn 2400 series footprint.
This model carries a 30A amperage rating and operates at 250 VAC. It is a three-way switch suitable for non-hazardous locations. The unit uses a copper-free aluminum housing, which helps with durability and corrosion resistance. Dimensions include 3.5 in length, 4.63 in height, and 3.44 in width, with a weight of about 1.8 lb.
Yes. The 2443A is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and is designed for surface mounting in control panels and enclosures. Its copper-free aluminum construction supports longer life in typical industrial environments, while the three-way configuration provides flexible circuit control without requiring extra components.
The data specifies area classification as Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. For comprehensive compliance details such as UL/CE listings, refer to the official Eaton/Crouse-Hinds datasheets and installation sheets included in the downloads, which cover the Pauluhn 2400 series and the 2443A specification in detail.
The copper-free aluminum construction reduces corrosion risk and maintenance needs compared to copper-based housings, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. Its standard dimensions and Pauluhn 2400 lineage simplify sourcing and replacement, reducing downtime during upgrades. The 30A/250VAC rating supports reliable operation for mid-load control circuits, improving equipment uptime and service continuity.
