FAQs
The 426-4PC-250 is designed for ordinary or non-hazardous industrial locations where IP66 protection is needed. It supports a 4-wire, 3-pole configuration at 250 V and 20 A, making it suitable for control panels, enclosures, and equipment subject to dust, water spray, or washdown environments. Its Pauluhn compatibility further simplifies integration with existing Pauluhn 420FC/PP/PC components.
The 426-4PC-250 is engineered to mate with Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn 420FC/PP/PC plug and connector families. This compatibility ensures consistent contact geometry and sealing interfaces, reducing mis-mates and installation time. It also supports streamlined spare parts and common field wiring practices across Pauluhn-listed equipment.
IP66 protection seals the connection against powerful water jets and dust ingress, which is critical for outdoor, washdown, or dusty factory environments. For equipment in ordinary locations, IP66 helps prevent corrosion, electrical faults, and performance degradation, thereby extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
The ABS+PC housing combines impact resistance with good chemical and UV tolerance, supporting long service life in demanding settings. This results in lower replacement costs, less downtime due to cracked housings, and better reliability for panels exposed to vibration, dampness, or sunlight exposure.
Yes. The 426-4PC-250 is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is compatible with Pauluhn nonmetallic plug and connector systems used in marine or rugged industrial applications. Its IP66 rating and robust materials help withstand splash zones and other challenging environments while meeting standard industrial compliance.
