The internal breaker is integrated into the Pauluhn 2462B-250 receptacle, reducing the need for external protection devices and simplifying wiring. This leads to faster installations, lower panel footprint, and easier maintenance, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership in outdoor control panels and marine enclosures. The 20A, 250 VAC rating matches typical branch-circuit expectations in automation and process environments, enabling reliable, code-compliant connections without a separate breaker. Brass construction provides robust durability and corrosion resistance in wet or salt-spray conditions, translating to longer service life and reduced replacement costs in coastal facilities, ships, and offshore operations. IP66 ingress protection guards against dust and powerful water jets, delivering dependable performance in washdown areas, weather-exposed panels, and harsh industrial sites. The three-wire, two-pole configuration supports straightforward wiring schemes for Pauluhn series interlock receptacles, streamlining procurement and installation workflows. With UPC 662276378469 and compatibility with Pauluhn catalog pages and LBL1552 instructions, maintenance and sourcing become more predictable, supporting better inventory control and faster corrective actions during outages.
