Eaton Specification Sheet - 2617A-208
Aluminum housing with IP66 protection provides strong ingress resistance and corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime in harsh environments. Business impact: lower operating costs and higher equipment availability in marine, outdoor, and washdown areas. Application: control panels and outdoor enclosures benefit from robust protection and easy cleaning. The four-wire, three-pole configuration delivers secure fault isolation and predictable current paths, improving safety and reducing miswiring during installation. This translates to fewer field rewires and faster commissioning in automation projects and conveyors. The 20A, 208V rating supports common field devices and motors without over-sizing, aligning with cost-efficient panel design. Surface mounting simplifies retrofits and new installs where mounting depth is limited, enabling quicker seatings and consistent field connections. Long-term performance is enhanced by Pauluhn engineering, known for rugged, industry-grade connectors that sustain uptime in demanding facilities.

FAQs
Install the 2617A-208 using a surface-mount footprint designed for Pauluhn receptacles. Connect the four wires to the corresponding terminals (two receptacles in a four-wire, three-pole arrangement), secure with enclosure screws, and fasten to a clean, flat surface. Ensure IP66 sealing is maintained by using the appropriate gaskets and seals and verify 208 Vac operation within the 20 A rating. Confirm enclosure integrity after mounting to prevent ingress during washdowns.
The unit is rated for 20A at 208 Vac, configured as four-wire, three-pole with two receptacles. It is constructed from aluminum and carries IP66 ingress protection, suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This makes it compatible with standard industrial control circuits and equipment loads typical in automation and process applications.
Yes. The IP66 rating provides robust protection against dust and water ingress, and the aluminum housing is well-suited for corrosive or washdown environments commonly found in outdoor or marine settings. For best results, ensure proper enclosure sealing and follow mounting guidelines to maintain integrity in harsh conditions.
The product is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and features IP66 ingress protection. This combination supports reliable operation in standard industrial environments while resisting dust and water exposure typical of washdown zones and open equipment areas.
The aluminum construction and IP66 protection reduce corrosion and ingress-related wear, lowering maintenance needs and extending service life. Its four-wire, three-pole arrangement simplifies wiring and fault isolation, supporting quicker diagnostics and uptime. The rugged Pauluhn design also minimizes replacement frequency in challenging environments, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life.
