Eaton Crouse-Hinds 572A Junction Box - IP66
Part Number: 572A
Quick Summary
572A junction box from Eaton Crouse-Hinds protects electrical connections in surface-mount installations for industrial control panels. In real-world plants, moisture, dust, and corrosion can quickly degrade enclosures, driving maintenance costs and downtime. The IP66 rating provides robust ingress protection, while NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary/non-hazardous location classification ensure you meet regulatory requirements without over-engineering. This copper-free aluminum enclosure pairs a flat cover with a compact 4.38 in length and height, and a 2 in width, delivering a sturdy, lightweight enclosure that simplifies mounting. By combining durable material, predictable protection, and familiar installation practices, it supports faster wiring, fewer weather-related failures, and lower lifecycle costs for facilities teams.

FAQs
For surface-mount installations, ensure a flat mounting surface compatible with the 2 in width and 4.38 in height/depth. The unit’s copper-free aluminum body keeps weight manageable at 1.5 lb, aiding handling and reducing installation time. Use standard fasteners and sealant compatible with IP66 housings to maintain ingress protection.
The 572A adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It provides IP66 ingress protection, offering robust dust and water resistance suitable for non-hazardous industrial environments while meeting common regulatory requirements.
The enclosure features 4.38 in length/depth and 4.38 in height, with a 2 in width. It weighs approximately 1.5 lb, making it compact for space-constrained panels while offering solid protection for wiring and connections.
Yes. The IP66 rating provides high ingress protection against dust and water jets, making the 572A suitable for non-hazardous, damp, or wet-adjacent environments typically found in industrial facilities, provided the location remains non-hazardous per NEC/CEC guidelines.
The copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance with a lighter weight, easing handling and installation. IP66 protection reduces field maintenance and weather-related failures, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes compliance risk. The flat cover and surface-mount design also shorten wiring time, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and faster project delivery.
