Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2635A-480 Receptacle - IP66
Part Number: 2635A-480
Quick Summary
2635A-480 receptacle is a four-wire, three-pole interface that powers rugged equipment in industrial environments, delivering reliable 20 A service at 480 Vac. In harsh plants, electrical connections must withstand dust, water exposure, and vibration, and failures translate into costly downtime. This design aligns with critical certifications and standards, including IP66 ingress protection and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location rating, supporting outdoor and marine installations. The combination of surface mounting, aluminum housing, and robust pin-and-sleeve architecture reduces maintenance intervals while simplifying field upgrades and spare-part inventories. For engineers and procurement teams, the durable Pauluhn solution translates to lower lifecycle costs, easier compliance management, and faster panel integration across automation and control systems.

FAQs
The 2635A-480 is designed for surface-mount installation in control panels and equipment enclosures. Use a compatible gasketed enclosure, ensure IP66 sealing, and secure the unit with the mounting holes. Verify four-wire, three-pole wiring and 20 A at 480 Vac rating per the catalog to ensure a safe, compliant connection.
Yes. With IP66 ingress protection and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classification, it is suitable for outdoor, industrial, and marine sites where exposure to dust, water, or splashes is common. The aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance, and the Pauluhn pin-and-sleeve design maintains reliable contact in challenging environments.
Key certifications include IP66 protection and suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, supporting outdoor installations and general industrial use. This aligns with safety standards for control panels, machine rooms, and rugged outdoor equipment. The Pauluhn heritage also ensures compatibility with standard marine pin-and-sleeve connectors, aiding regulatory compliance and maintenance planning.
Compared with many models, the 2635A-480 offers a corrosion-resistant aluminum housing, a four-wire, three-pole configuration for flexible power distribution, and a straightforward surface-mount installation that reduces space requirements. The two-receptacle arrangement simplifies wiring in multi-circuit panels, while the 480 Vac rating aligns with common industrial systems for faster integration.
Lifecycle ROI comes from reduced maintenance, fewer field replacements, and longer service life in harsh environments. IP66 and aluminum construction resist dust and water ingress, lowering downtime and repair costs. While initial costs are higher than basic receptacles, total cost of ownership drops through extended service intervals, easier spares management, and improved panel reliability.
