Copper-free aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight, reducing wear and replacement cycles in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The copper-free construction minimizes maintenance downtime and shielding concerns in damp or dusty panels, particularly in Pauluhn interiors where enclosure integrity matters; this translates to lower total cost of ownership and longer service life for control points in manufacturing lines. The flush mounting style improves front-face aesthetics and seal integrity, enabling faster installation and easier inspections in crowded panels, which decreases commissioning time and reduces ingress path for contaminants. This switch combines one single-pole and one three-way switch in a compact footprint, delivering flexible control for multi-point start/stop configurations without adding extra hardware, ideal for conveyors and machine tooling where space is at a premium. The 15 A, 277 Vac rating supports common industrial loads while maintaining a practical safety margin; designers can plan circuits with confidence and avoid overrating controls. Pauluhn 27S interior compatibility ensures straightforward retrofits and substitution in existing installations, cutting integration risk and spare-part inventories. In ordinary locations, this unit aligns with typical control schemes and service workflows, supporting predictable maintenance schedules and faster procurement through a familiar product family. Overall, the 2720AF delivers measurable improvements in uptime, wiring efficiency, and lifecycle cost through durable materials, flexible switching, and seamless compatibility with Pauluhn interiors.

FAQs

The 2720AF uses flush mounting compatible with Pauluhn interiors and standard panels. Verify enclosure opening and ensure the 2.75 in depth, 4.5 in height, and 1.75 in width fit within your panel cutout. Use existing Pauluhn interior toggle switch assemblies to simplify wiring and reduce field modification, ensuring a clean, reliable installation.
The 2720AF is rated for 15 A at 277 Vac, suitable for general control loads within that limit. Do not exceed 15 A on any single circuit passing through the switch; account for inrush and inductive loads by selecting appropriate wiring gauges and protective devices per code. This rating supports reliable operation in most panel-mounted control circuits.
Yes. The unit combines one single-pole switch and one three-way switch in a single device, enabling multi-location or staged control. For conveyors or machinery requiring start/stop from multiple panels, this design reduces component count, simplifies wiring, and lowers installation time while maintaining safe, coordinated control logic.
The 2720AF is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with general industrial environments that do not involve hazardous atmospheres. Always confirm local electrical codes and site requirements, and ensure enclosure integrity to maintain compliance and safety.
Copper-free aluminum reduces corrosion and weight, extending service life in challenging environments and lowering replacement frequency. Flush mounting improves seal integrity and simplifies inspections, while Pauluhn interior compatibility streamlines retrofits. Collectively these factors improve uptime, simplify stocking of spare parts, and yield favorable total cost of ownership in ongoing control-panel maintenance.
