Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2716A Toggle Switch - Pilot Light
Part Number: 2716A
Quick Summary
The 2716A toggle switch from Eaton Crouse-Hinds is a surface-mount pilot-light control for industrial panels. Installers often struggle to deliver clear status indication while meeting panel-depth constraints in rugged environments. This model is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and uses copper-free aluminum housing for corrosion resistance and long service life. With a 15A, 120 VAC rating and a single-pole, pilot-light configuration, it delivers reliable visibility and straightforward integration—supporting faster commissioning and reduced maintenance across automation applications. Its Pauluhn interior design aligns with Pauluhn catalog standards, ensuring compatibility with common low-voltage control schemes.

Pilot light visibility → Improves fault detection and operator awareness, accelerating troubleshooting in automation panels. The 2716A integrates a built-in indicator into the toggle assembly, reducing wiring complexity and avoiding separate pilot indicators. This is ideal for machine controls and panel applications where quick status confirmation reduces downtime and improves shift handoffs. Copper-free aluminum housing → Enhances corrosion resistance while reducing weight, lowering lifecycle maintenance costs in factory environments. The material choice also minimizes galvanic issues with nearby metals and supports longer service intervals, especially in non-hazardous locations where enclosure reliability matters. Surface mounting with defined dimensions → Simplifies panel integration and reduces retrofits. The 2.75 in depth, 4.5 in height, and 1.75 in width facilitate compact layouts in control cabinets, helping engineers minimize panel footprint and wiring channels while preserving clearance. Electrical rating 15A at 120 VAC → Supports typical lighting and signaling loads without oversizing, reducing panel hardware and wiring. This rating, combined with a single-pole contact, delivers predictable performance for start/stop control and indicator circuits in automation lines. Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations → Ensures safe operation in general plant environments, avoiding specialized enclosures and extra certification costs. The combination of a robust Pauluhn interior toggle and pilot-light feature helps maintain visible control in non-hazardous settings across assembly, packaging, and processing lines.
