Eaton Specification Sheet - 2632BU-125
IP66 ingress protection provides robust sealing against water jets and dust, significantly reducing nuisance outages in outdoor and exposed plant areas. By preventing ingress at the receptacle interface, maintenance cycles are extended and equipment reliability improves, translating to lower total cost of ownership. This makes the 2632BU-125 ideal for surface-mounted power connections on outdoor panels, docks, and wet-duty environments. Brass construction offers superior durability and corrosion resistance compared with zinc or plastic alternatives. The result is a longer service life in harsh facilities, with fewer replacement parts and lower lifecycle costs. This is especially valuable for control panels, switchboards, and equipment rooms that see frequent condensate exposure or humidity. Surface mounting simplifies installation and reduces enclosure footprint, enabling rapid deployment in retrofit projects and new builds. The 2632BU-125's compact form and standard footprint support quick alignment with existing cutouts, while the 2.75 lb weight contributes to stable mounting without heavy hardware. In applications ranging from machinery booths to outdoor enclosures, installers gain time savings and improved reliability. The NEMA 5-15/20R configuration supports common plug types at 125 Vac, up to 15/20 amps, ensuring compatibility with standard tools and devices. This reduces the need for adapters and promotes code-compliant, safe power distribution across light-industrial equipment and lab settings. Dimensions and mounting compatibility align with typical Pauluhn designs, with a 3.69 in length, 4.25 in width, and 2.94 in height making it easy to plan panel layouts. The 2.75 lb weight also helps with handling during installation, transport, and field service. As part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn line, the 2632BU-125 offers proven marine watertight lineage and reliable performance in ordinary locations, backed by extensive catalog coverage and datasheets.

FAQs
Start with a clean, flat mounting surface and verify compatibility with standard Pauluhn cutouts. Align the receptacle, install mounting screws, and apply a suitable gasket to maintain IP66 sealing. Connect conductors per 125 Vac 15A/20A rating, then tighten fittings to specification. Ensure the surface and enclosure provide adequate support for the 2.75 lb unit to prevent movement.
The receptacle supports 125 Vac at 15A/20A with a NEMA 5-15/20R configuration, accommodating common 5-15 and 5-20 plugs. It provides a single receptacle outlet designed for standard industrial and commercial equipment, eliminating the need for adapters in most light to medium-load applications.
Yes. It carries IP66 ingress protection and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for outdoor, damp, and exposed installations. Brass construction adds corrosion resistance, while the surface-mount design supports durable, long-term use in challenging conditions.
Key protections include IP66 ingress protection and the Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations classification, which define its suitability for non-hazardous environments. The IP66 rating ensures effective protection against dust and powerful water jets, enabling reliable operation in outdoor panels, wet-area equipment bays, and similar settings without extra enclosures.
Brass construction provides superior corrosion resistance and durability, reducing replacement intervals and maintenance costs. The IP66 sealing minimizes ingress-related wear, while the robust Pauluhn design supports long service life in harsh industrial environments. Overall, expect lower total cost of ownership through fewer field failures and simpler retrofit or expansion work.
