Eaton Specification Sheet - 568A
Copper-free aluminum body reduces weight and improves corrosion resistance. This translates to easier handling and shorter installation times in outdoor and washdown environments. It aligns with copper-free enclosure demands for Pauluhn 568A boxes used in industrial facilities. IP66 ingress protection ensures water and dust exclusion in exposed installations. The combination with surface mounting simplifies seal integrity and minimizes field rework, saving downtime on critical lines. It is well-suited for outdoor panels, equipment enclosures, and process instrumentation housings. With 6.38 in length, 7.5 in height, and 3 in width, the 568A fits compact spaces while preserving terminal access. A 5 lb weight supports overhead or wall-mounted layouts without heavy lifting hazards. The surface-mount mounting style accelerates installation and reduces hardware requirements. NEC/CEC standards alignment and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location rating streamline approvals and inspections. This reduces engineering review cycles and post-install changes, lowering project risk. This enclosure is designed to work with Pauluhn 500 Series rectangular marine junction boxes catalog pages and related fittings, ensuring vendor ecosystem compatibility. Long-term durability, reduced maintenance, and fewer replacements translate to lower total cost of ownership for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
The 568A is designed for surface mounting, enabling straightforward installation on walls or equipment frames. It accommodates Pauluhn configurations and standard enclosure fittings, with overall dimensions of 6.38 in length, 7.5 in height, and 3 in width. This makes it a practical choice for compact control cabinets and outdoor housings where space is limited.
The enclosure is made from copper-free aluminum and carries an IP66 rating, delivering excellent resistance to water and dust ingress. This combination reduces field maintenance, supports outdoor use, and suits environments requiring corrosion resistance and lighter weight enclosures without sacrificing strength.
Yes. The 568A is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. This alignment simplifies regulatory approvals, reduces engineering review time, and helps ensure smooth commissioning in standard industrial facilities, control panels, and non-hazardous process areas.
The enclosure meets NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with IP66 ingress protection. These certifications support reliability in non-hazardous industrial settings and enable teams to demonstrate compliance during audits and inspections.
The copper-free aluminum construction combined with IP66 protection reduces corrosion-related maintenance and field service visits. Lighter weight and straightforward surface mounting accelerate installation, shorten downtime, and improve total cost of ownership by lowering labor, replacement frequency, and risk of environmental damage to terminations.
