FAQs
For proper installation, ensure a clean, flat mounting surface and adequate clearance for the 3.44 in depth. Use the specified mounting holes or hardware suitable for brass components, seal the enclosure interface to preserve IP66 integrity, and verify the NEMA 5-15/20R configuration matches your cordset. Always follow manufacturer torque recommendations and local code requirements.
IP66 ensures complete protection against powerful water jets and dust ingress, which minimizes entry of moisture and particulates that can corrode contacts or cause arcing. This protection translates to fewer field failures, longer service life, and reduced maintenance intervals in washdown bays, outdoor cabinets, and damp industrial spaces.
Yes. The 2590B-125 uses a NEMA 5-15/20R receptacle design compatible with common 125 Vac plug sets. This compatibility simplifies sourcing, reduces wiring complexity, and accelerates installation in general-purpose power applications across manufacturing floors, labs, and utility rooms that rely on standard plug-and-socket connectivity.
Best suited for ordinary/non-hazardous locations requiring durable, weather-resistant power access, the Pauluhn 25 series provides rugged sealing, reliable electrical contacts, and straightforward mounting. Ideal for outdoor enclosures, process areas with moisture exposure, and equipment rooms where uptime and simple maintenance are critical.
Schedule regular inspections of the receptacle and mating plug for signs of wear or corrosion, particularly in damp or saline environments. Keep IP66 interfaces clean and reseal seals during inspections, replace gaskets if distorted, and verify that mounting hardware remains torqued to specification. Document replacements to track lifecycle and support ROI.
