Eaton Specification Sheet - 562AT6
Copper-free aluminum construction provides superior corrosion resistance and lighter handling, reducing maintenance costs and downtime in harsh environments. This translates to longer service life in factory floors and outdoor installations, boosting overall equipment reliability and lowering lifecycle costs for maintenance teams. The IP66-rated enclosure offers robust protection against dust and high-pressure water jets, enabling safe operation in washdown areas and dusty production lines—critical for sectors like food processing and packaging. Surface mounting with a compact 2-3/8 in depth simplifies retrofits and new builds where space is constrained, speeding up installation and eliminating bulky mounting hardware. The 6-pole terminal block consolidates wiring, improving wiring clarity and reducing installation errors, while NEC/CEC compliance ensures regulatory alignment for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Lightweight, copper-free aluminum also supports easier handling during rack or panel assembly and reduces shipping costs in large projects.

FAQs
To achieve IP66 protection, start with clean, undamaged mating surfaces and seating gaskets. Use the specified screws to secure the cover evenly, ensuring the gasket remains undisturbed and compressed to the rated depth. Verify the enclosure is mounted with appropriate seals for the mounting surface, and perform a final ingress protection test according to NEC/CEC guidelines. Proper wiring entries should use listed glands or grommets that maintain the IP66 rating.
Yes. The 562AT6 is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC, making it suitable for general industrial environments where flammable atmospheres are not present. This helps facilities meet regulatory requirements while delivering reliable protection for control wiring. It is not intended for use in hazardous or classified locations without additional approvals or enclosures designed for those conditions.
The 6-pole terminal block in the 562AT6 supports multiple discrete conductor terminations within a single enclosure. This enables organized, compact wiring for up to six circuit paths, simplifying layout and maintenance. For larger I/O schemes, you can pair this enclosure with compatible Pauluhn accessories to extend terminal capacity while preserving protection and code compliance.
Yes. The 562AT6 is part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn 562 family, designed for compatibility with standard Pauluhn accessories such as mounting hardware and compatible conduit and gland solutions. This alignment supports faster upgrade paths and consistent protection levels across enclosures, reducing design complexity and procurement risk in multi-box deployments.
Copper-free aluminum resists corrosion better than traditional materials in many industrial settings, reducing repainting and part-replacement costs. Its lighter weight improves handling during installation and reduces shipping costs. Over the enclosure’s life, you gain lower maintenance intervals and fewer unplanned downtimes, contributing to a favorable return on investment for automation projects and facility upgrades.
