Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2632A-250 Receptacle - IP66

Feature: Aluminum housing and rugged build deliver high durability in demanding environments. The business impact is longer service life with fewer field replacements, reducing downtime and operating costs. This is especially valuable for outdoor or marine installations where exposure to moisture, dust, and temperature cycles challenges standard receptacles. Applications include Pauluhn marine pin-and-sleeve systems in industrial automation and process facilities where reliability and fast deployment matter. For maintenance teams, the robust contact design translates to fewer false trips and lower failure risks over the equipment lifecycle. Feature: IP66 ingress protection and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations classification. The business impact is resilient performance in non-hazardous areas, protecting electrical connections from water ingress and particulate contamination. Applications span outdoor control panels, damp plant rooms, wastewater facilities, and general industrial automation where a sealed receptacle is required. The combination supports compliance with common safety standards while enabling longer intervals between inspections. Feature: Three-wire, two-pole configuration rated at 20A and 250V AC. The business impact is safe, standardized electrical loads and simplified wiring diagrams, reducing miswiring and fault potential. Applications include conveyors, robotics interfaces, and power distribution in automation cabinets requiring a compact, compliant receptacle. The rate aligns with motor and control circuits, facilitating predictable performance across equipment lines. Feature: Surface mounting and Pauluhn compatibility. The business impact is faster installation, fewer enclosure alterations, and easier future maintenance, which lowers labor costs and downtime. Applications include retrofit projects in existing panels and new builds where surface-mounted receptacles streamline surface routing and enclosure aesthetics. This compatibility also reduces the need for adapters and simplifies spare-part planning. Industry context: In modern industrial facilities, rugged aluminum Pauluhn receptacles that combine IP66 protection with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations certification deliver predictable performance across environments, from manufacturing floors to offshore platforms. Operators benefit from reduced maintenance cycles, easier stocking with compatible parts, and improved safety and compliance in line with Pauluhn standards. The design supports scalable automation deployments, where fast, reliable power connections are critical for uptime and throughput.
