Quick Summary
2470B-250 is a four-wire receptacle with internal breaker for industrial control panels. Engineers often struggle with moisture, dust, and wiring complexity that drive downtime and safety risk. With IP66 ingress protection and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area rating, it meets harsh-location requirements while simplifying maintenance. The brass construction and 250 V AC rating deliver durable, code-compliant performance across marine, offshore, and general industrial environments. Internal breaking protection reduces the need for external fusing and minimizes panel wiring. This translates to faster installation and lower total cost of ownership while boosting system reliability. For engineers evaluating interlock receptacle solutions, 2470B-250 offers straightforward compatibility with Pauluhn enclosures. Supported by Eaton's catalog pages and installation instructions, it streamlines procurement and compliance.

Internal breaker built into the receptacle reduces external protection components and speeds fault isolation. This means fewer field splice points and a smaller panel footprint, lowering labor costs during installation and maintenance in busy electrical rooms. In practice, technicians can rely on a single component for switching and interrupting high-risk circuits in industrial control panels, reducing commissioning time and improving safety margins. IP66 rated housing protects against water jets and dust intrusion, crucial for washdown areas and outdoor installations, translating to longer equipment life, lower replacement cycles, and greater uptime in marine, offshore, or harsh facilities. Four-wire, three-pole configuration provides separate neutral and ground paths for safe fault clearing, while brass construction resists corrosion in salty environments to extend service intervals. Rated 15A at 250 V AC, it supports common circuits without oversized wiring, aiding procurement, stocking, and maintenance planning. Documentation and compatibility with Pauluhn interlock receptacles and Eaton installation sheets streamline installation validation and code compliance.

FAQs
Installers should follow Eaton's LBL1552 installation sheet and use appropriate gaskets or seals to maintain the IP66 rating during mounting. The four-wire, three-pole configuration requires dedicated neutral and ground wiring, and the internal breaker consolidates protective functions in one unit. This reduces accessory count, streamlines wiring diagrams, and speeds commissioning in Pauluhn enclosures.
Designed for industrial control panels, washdown areas, and equipment operating in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, the 2470B-250 combines a four-wire, three-pole configuration with IP66 protection and brass construction. It handles 250 V AC, 15A circuits reliably in marine, offshore, and rugged factory environments while keeping connectors sealed against water, dust, and corrosion—reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life.
Verify IP66 ingress protection and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification for the 2470B-250. The product is designed to perform in harsh environments such as washdown zones, industrial facilities, and marine settings, where exposure to moisture and dust is common. While it does not list CE or SIL certifications in the provided data, these two ratings directly support regulatory and safety requirements and help validate compliance during audits and procurement reviews.
An integrated internal breaker provides short-circuit protection within the receptacle, reducing external protective components and simplifying fault isolation. This results in fewer wiring changes during repairs, faster fault diagnosis, and shorter downtime in mission-critical equipment. In field deployments, technicians appreciate the compact footprint and lower part counts, which translates to faster stocking and streamlined maintenance schedules without compromising safety.
Key specs to plan for include a 15A amperage rating, 250 V AC voltage rating, four-wire, three-pole configuration, brass material, and IP66 protection. These values align with common industrial circuits while ensuring durability in harsh environments. For procurement, consider stocking the model alongside compatible Pauluhn receptacles and referenced Eaton installation manuals to support quick validation, accurate BOMs, and consistent performance across projects.
