IP66 ingress protection shields critical connections from dust and water jets, reducing moisture-related failures. This translates to fewer maintenance cycles, better uptime, and lower total cost of ownership. Apply this receptacle to surface-mounted panels and outdoor/maritime equipment where washdowns and wet environments are common.Brass construction offers superior corrosion resistance in challenging atmospheres and frequent cleaning environments. The business impact is longer service life, fewer replacements, and lower lifecycle costs. Typical applications include process plants, marine installations, and outdoor control panels where durability matters.Surface mounting enables quick, secure installation on flat panels and enclosures. The result is reduced installation time and improved wiring integrity, decreasing field labor costs. This makes the 2632BU-250 ideal for new builds or panel upgrades in factories and food and beverage facilities.NEMA configuration 6-15/20R with a 250 V AC rating ensures compatibility with common 15A/20A circuits. The outcome is reliable power delivery and correct plug-receptacle matching, minimizing connection faults. Use it on industrial machines, conveyors, and machining centers that require robust, code-compliant outlets.Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification supports standard facility installations without specialized explosion-proof hardware. This reduces upfront costs and simplifies procurement for general manufacturing environments. Pair with Eaton's Pauluhn 26 series and 2632BU-250 catalogs and datasheets to verify compatibility during design reviews.Documentation and catalogs provide confidence during specification and procurement. The 2632BU-250 is featured in Eaton's Pauluhn marine watertight receptacles catalog page and a dedicated specification sheet. Access the catalog page and datasheet to confirm IP66 performance, NEMA 6-15/20R configuration, and 250 V AC operation for your project.

FAQs
The 2632BU-250 is designed for 250 V AC circuits and supports 15A/20A in a NEMA 6-15/20R configuration. It’s a brass, surface-mounted receptacle built to withstand washdowns and dusty environments, ensuring proper mating with compatible plugs and preventing arcing or loose connections during operation. It fits standard panels and enclosures to streamline procurement and commissioning.
This receptacle carries IP66 ingress protection and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification, meaning it is suitable for wet locations and general manufacturing environments without additional hazardous-location ratings. This combination helps meet safety and compliance goals in marine, outdoor, and process-plant installations.
Install on flat, accessible surfaces such as control panels, equipment housings, and exterior enclosures where washdowns occur. Ensure surface mounting on stable panels, route wiring per code, and maintain clearances for 250 VAC outlets. Use with compatible Pauluhn 26 receptacles to ensure a proper fit and safe operation.
Yes. Eaton publishes the Pauluhn 26 series datasheet and a catalog page specific to marine/watertight receptacles. These documents confirm IP66 performance, the 6-15/20R configuration, and the 250 V AC rating. Access the Eaton catalog page and PDF spec sheet to verify installation notes and dimensional data.
Benefits include quick installation due to surface mounting, durable brass construction for longer life, and reduced downtime in washdown environments. The Ordinary location rating minimizes upfront costs and simplifies procurement across factories, labs, and outdoor sites, delivering a favorable return on investment through lower maintenance and faster commissioning.
