FAQs
The 568B is a brass, surface-mount enclosure with a 6.38 in L x 7.5 in H footprint and 3 in depth. It supports standard surface-mount installation and accommodates common conduit fittings. Use appropriate gaskets and mounting screws, verify IP66 sealing after wiring, and ensure electrical terminations stay within enclosure boundaries to maintain protection ratings.
The enclosure is IP66 rated and made of brass, providing excellent protection against dust ingress and powerful jets of water. This combination delivers long-term resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure in non-hazardous locations, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where moisture and dust are present.
Yes. IP66 protection and brass construction make the 568B well-suited for harsh, non-hazardous locations, including outdoor or wash-down environments where exposure to moisture and dust is common. Always verify that the specific application remains within Ordinary/Non-Hazardous classifications per NEC/CEC guidance.
The 568B complies with NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Its IP66 ingress protection supports safe operation in environments with dust and water exposure, helping with regulatory audits and installation approvals.
Brass offers superior corrosion resistance, reducing replacement frequency in challenging environments. IP66 protection minimizes ingress-related failures, lowering maintenance visits and extending service intervals. Overall, you gain longer intervals between repairs and a lower total cost of ownership for rugged control panels.
