Eaton 2636B-480 Receptacle - Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations
Part Number: 2636B-480
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2636B-480 receptacle provides reliable surface-mounted power for 480 VAC industrial systems. Installers often confront mounting misalignment and corrosion in harsh environments, which can drive costly rework; this brass, surface-mount design mitigates those risks while delivering consistent electrical contact. It carries an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification, aligning with standard safety expectations and avoiding the extra certifications burden in typical facilities. For procurement teams, the combination of rugged materials and a compact footprint supports faster panel integration, consistent stock keeping, and long-term maintenance predictability across wiring and connectivity projects.

FAQs
The 2636B-480 uses surface mounting, which simplifies panel integration by avoiding through-wall cutouts and enables a faster, cleaner footprint. When planning installation, ensure the enclosure has adequate surface access, verify the three-wire two-pole configuration fits your circuit layout, and align mounting holes with the receptacle footprint to prevent misalignment during commissioning.
This receptacle is rated for 20A at 480 VAC, three-wire two-pole, brass construction. Design considerations include ensuring the panel can accommodate a 4.75 in length, 3.75 in height, and 8.5 in width footprint, providing adequate clearances, and aligning with standard industrial loads for ordinary locations to avoid overloading or misapplication.
The datasheet lists an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification, indicating it is not intended for hazardous environments. For marine or harsher environments, consult the Pauluhn marine pin and sleeve lineup or equivalent marine-rated variants to ensure compatibility and compliance with your external conditions.
Compatibility with Pauluhn marine pin and sleeve connectors means you can standardize on a single family of receptacles and mating plugs, reducing part variety and improving interchangeability. In practice, verify connector pitch, alignment, and tightening procedures to maintain secure electrical contacts across 480 VAC circuits in industrial installs.
Official documentation is available from Eaton: Pauluhn catalog pages, the IF LBL 1506 installation sheet, and the Eaton specification sheet for 2636B-480. These resources cover mounting, wiring diagrams, and safety considerations, helping ensure compliant installation and consistent long-term performance.
