Eaton Specification Sheet - 559B
Brass construction provides superior corrosion resistance and robust mechanical protection, translating to longer service life in coastal, oily, or washdown environments where enclosure integrity is critical for uptime. The IP66 rating delivers reliable dust-tight protection and resistance to powerful water jets, directly reducing the risk of electrical faults in harsh outdoor or industrial settings. Surface mounting accelerates installation, minimizes field modification, and enables quick rework on existing panels, which lowers labor costs and downtime. The large interior footprint, with an 8.13 in length/depth and 8.13 in height, supports complex splices and cable management while maintaining favorable clearance for code-compliant wiring. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location suitability streamline procurement, regulatory alignment, and long-term maintenance planning. Compatibility with Pauluhn accessories enhances retrofit flexibility and reduces total cost of ownership in evolving automation infrastructure.
