Eaton 574A Junction Box - Pauluhn Series IP66 Rated

Copper-free aluminum is a standout feature of the Pauluhn 574A, delivering corrosion resistance without the weight penalty of traditional alloys. This material choice extends enclosure life in manufacturing environments where moisture, humidity, and incidental exposure are common, and it supports long-term reliability of terminations in harsh spaces. Lighter weight also simplifies handling during installation, reduces labor costs, and minimizes fatigue for technicians working on elevated platforms. IP66 ingress protection ensures dust-tight performance and robust water resistance, enabling reliable operation in washdown zones, outdoor installations, and damp environments. The enclosure helps maintain termination integrity and reduces the risk of field faults, supporting uninterrupted production in process lines, packaging areas, and equipment rooms. With a rugged aluminum shell, it withstands routine impacts and maintains gasket performance over time. Surface mounting provides flexible install options on walls, panels, or equipment frames without complex chassis modifications. The 574A's 2-3/16 in depth and compact 4.38 x 4.38 inch footprint fit where space is at a premium, making retrofits and line-side terminations more efficient. The surface-mount design also simplifies field wiring access, enables neat routing of cables, and reduces the need for additional brackets. At 1.7 lb and a square 4.38 inch footprint, the enclosure minimizes added load and simplifies handling during installation and maintenance. The 2-3/16 inch depth provides just enough clearance for internal components while leaving room for standard terminal assemblies and wiring channels. This balance of size and weight helps systems integrators optimize panel density and reduce installation time. Certified for ordinary/non-hazardous locations under NEC/CEC standards, the 574A aligns with common industrial control requirements and safety practices. IP66 protection complements these certifications by addressing exposure to dust and water, reducing the need for extra protective measures in many applications. This combination simplifies procurement and ensures consistent performance across multiple sites. Downloads and technical data are readily available through Eaton, including the 574A specification sheet and Pauluhn 500 Series catalog page, ensuring engineers can validate fit, compatibility, and mounting methods prior to purchase.
