Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2590A-125 Receptacle - IP66 Rating

Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and minimizes corrosion risk in outdoor, washdown, and coastal installations. The lighter material, combined with rugged build, translates to lower handling costs during installation and easier field replacements, especially in tight-panel spaces. In Pauluhn 25 receptacle deployments, this alloy supports durable performance across a wide temperature range while helping keep support and spare parts inventories lean. IP66 ingress protection guards against dust and powerful water jets, delivering dependable operation in challenging environments. This protection reduces unplanned downtime and mitigates risk of enclosure leaks that can compromise downstream equipment. Use cases include factory floors, marine facilities, and outdoor enclosures where frequent spray or washdowns occur. Surface mounting simplifies installation by eliminating complex enclosures or flush-mount requirements, enabling quick retrofit and faster time-to-first-power. The unit's compact dimensions (3.44 in length, 3 in width, 3.5 in height) fit standard panel footprints while maintaining clearance for wiring and connectors. This approach reduces panel depth concerns and supports modular cabinet designs. With a 15A/20A amperage rating and a 5-15/20R NEMA configuration at 125 Vac, the 2590A-125 matches common North American cords and in-cabinet feeders. The dual rating supports typical plug types without adapters, improving safety and compliance in industrial controls. This makes it a versatile upgrade for control panels and instrumentation racks. Rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, the receptacle meets everyday plant safety requirements while maintaining equipment compatibility across Eaton's Pauluhn family. Its copper-free aluminum body, IP66 protection, and surface-mount footprint work together to reduce total cost of ownership by limiting corrosion-related maintenance and part diversity. Engineers appreciate the alignment with standard Eaton catalogs and the ease of sourcing from the Pauluhn 25 lineup. Designed to integrate with Pauluhn 25 receptacle ecosystems, it's compatible with 5-15/20R plug configurations and 125 Vac services. For design and installation reference, consult the Pauluhn Marine Watertight catalog page and the Eaton 2590A-125 specification sheet to ensure proper enclosure fit and wiring practices.
