Eaton Specification Sheet - 2716PL
The 15A at 120Vac rating ensures compatibility with common control circuits while delivering safe, predictable operation in ordinary locations. The built-in pilot light provides immediate status indication, helping maintenance teams verify operation at a glance and reduce troubleshooting time. Surface mounting and non-metallic construction simplify installation in tight panels and damp environments, improving first-pass assembly yield and lowering commissioning costs. The compact 2.75 in depth, 4.5 in height, and 1.75 in width footprint minimizes panel real estate while preserving mounting strength and plug-in wiring clarity. A single-pole design with a dedicated pilot light reduces wiring complexity and spares spare parts inventory, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over time. This Pauluhn design supports straightforward replacement in existing 27S installations, preserving compatibility and reducing downtime during upgrades.

FAQs
The 2716PL is a surface-mount, single-pole toggle switch designed for Pauluhn 27S panels. With a 2.75 in depth, 1.75 in width, and 4.5 in height, it fits compact panel enclosures while maintaining a robust mounting footprint. The non-metallic housing simplifies installation in damp or non-conductive environments, reducing grounding concerns and easing retrofits in existing control panels.
Rated for 15A at 120Vac, the 2716PL supports typical control circuits without overloading the switch. This single-pole configuration with a built-in pilot light provides clear status indication, helping ensure safe operation during startup, maintenance, and fault diagnosis in non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The 2716PL integrates a pilot light into a single-pole switch, offering immediate visual feedback of actuation status. This is especially valuable in busy control rooms and production lines where quick status verification reduces downtime and accelerates fault isolation.
Plan for a surface-mount footprint with non-metallic housing to simplify enclosure access. Ensure the panel cutout accommodates the 2.75 in depth and that wiring follows standard low-voltage control practices for 120Vac circuits. The built-in pilot light eliminates the need for separate status indicators in many applications, saving panel space and wiring time.
The 2716PL delivers quick installation due to its surface-mount design and single-pole configuration, reducing labor time during panel builds. The built-in pilot light improves uptime by facilitating rapid diagnostics, while the non-metallic housing minimizes corrosion risks in damp locations. Overall, these features translate to lower maintenance costs and faster throughput in standard, non-hazardous environments.
