Eaton Specification Sheet - 559A
Copper-free aluminum construction is a defining feature of the 559A, delivering excellent corrosion resistance in damp, dusty, or washdown environments. This materially robust enclosure reduces galvanic corrosion when mounted with metallic fittings and wires, extending service life and lowering replacement costs. For industrial automation panels and field-mounted junctions, the copper-free alloy also minimizes weight without sacrificing strength, enabling easier handling during installation and maintenance. IP66 ingress protection provides dust-tight performance and protection against powerful water jets, meaning the enclosure can withstand routine washdowns and outdoor exposure. This translates to lower maintenance intervals and fewer field failures, particularly in manufacturing floors or outdoor equipment rooms. The surface-mount design further simplifies installation on walls or equipment frames, reducing both time to energized operation and the risk of wiring damage during mounting. Its internal footprint is governed by 8.13 inch depth and height with a 6 inch width, offering ample space for standard terminations and conduit entries. The surface mounting style combines with compatible mounting holes and smooth exterior to ease alignment with adjacent panels. This predictable footprint supports modular panel design and quick rework when layouts change, minimizing downtime during upgrades or expansions. NEC/CEC standards alignment plus Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification provide regulatory confidence for general industrial spaces without hazardous atmospheres. This reduces project risk by ensuring the enclosure meets core electrical codes and safety expectations, helping procurement teams justify enclosure choices in bid packages and audits. Combined with rugged mounting surface and a lightweight copper-free aluminum body, the 559A reduces installation time and on-site handling costs. Easy access for wire terminations, compatible with standard conduit fittings, and straightforward maintenance support a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.

FAQs
The 559A is specifically designed as a surface-mount junction box, enabling direct mounting to walls or panels without a backbox. It accommodates common conduit entries and standard fittings used in industrial control panels, simplifying wiring runs, reducing accessory needs, and speeding up energized-operation timelines. For installation, align mounting holes, secure with appropriate screws, and seal per IP66 requirements to maintain enclosure integrity.
Key dimensions are 8.13 inches in length/depth and height, with a 6-inch width, and an approximate weight of 8 pounds. The enclosure carries IP66 ingress protection, NEC/CEC compliance, and a UPC of 662276383272, with copper-free aluminum construction. These specs support predictable fitment in standard panels and reliable performance in non-hazardous environments.
Yes. The 559A is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for typical factory floors, control rooms, and general industrial applications where hazardous atmospheres are not present. This alignment reduces risk during audits and helps with supplier qualification and project approval.
The enclosure is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with IP66 protection. This means it meets widely recognized electrical safety codes and is suitable for environments where dust and water exposure are possible but without hazardous atmospheres. Compliance supports safer installation, easier bid approvals, and smoother regulatory reviews.
Copper-free aluminum provides enhanced corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles in damp or outdoor environments. IP66 sealing minimizes ingress-related failures, lowering field service costs. The lightweight design eases installation, decreases labor time, and supports reliable long-term operation, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
