Quick Summary

574AT6 junction box is a copper-free aluminum enclosure for surface-mount control wiring in industrial environments. Engineers often struggle to protect terminations in dusty, damp, or outdoor spaces while meeting IP66 protection and NEC/CEC compliance. This Pauluhn series box delivers IP66 protection and ordinary-location suitability, while its copper-free body reduces weight and corrosion risk. The surface-mount design plus a 6-pole terminal block enables quick installs, easier wiring, and lower maintenance in control panels and MCCs.

Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and improves corrosion resistance, making the 574AT6 easier to handle during installation and less prone to degradation in harsh environments. This material choice also supports longer service life and lower maintenance costs in outdoor or wash-down facilities, where frequent enclosure swaps are costly. IP66 ingress protection guards against dust and powerful water jets, ensuring reliable electrical connections in dusty plants, rainy outdoor cabinets, and other demanding locations. The robust enclosure helps maintain terminal integrity and minimizes the need for additional protective measures, aligning with NEC/CEC requirements for ordinary, non-hazardous areas. Surface mounting simplifies installation in tight control rooms and on walls where space is at a premium. The 574AT6 eliminates the need for backboxes, speeding up wiring, reducing labor time, and providing flexible mounting options for retrofit projects in existing panels. The integrated 6-pole terminal block streamlines wiring, reduces terminal splices, and lowers field fault potential. This feature supports faster commissioning and easier maintenance, especially in multi-circuit control panels where dense wiring must be organized and quickly tested. With a compact footprint—approximately 4.38 in long, 4.38 in tall, and 2.19 in wide—and a weight around 1.8 lb, the 574AT6 fits into crowded enclosures and small cabinets. The copper-free aluminum body further enhances weight performance for portable or mobile equipment. Certified for NEC/CEC standards and suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, this Pauluhn 574-series box provides regulatory peace of mind for design reviews and inspections. Its rugged build supports reliable operation across industries, including manufacturing, water treatment, and marine environments. Drawing on Eaton's Pauluhn lineage, the 574AT6 pairs with compatible Pauluhn 500-series accessories and mounting configurations, enabling scalable solutions for evolving control systems. This compatibility helps engineers standardize enclosures across projects, reducing part variety and procurement complexity.

FAQs

To install the 574AT6, mount the enclosure on a flat surface using appropriate fasteners while ensuring the gasket remains seated for IP66 sealing. Route conductors to the 6-pole terminal block, tighten to spec, and verify accessibility and NEC/CEC compliance. The surface-mount format minimizes backbox requirements and speeds wiring in constrained spaces.
External dimensions are approximately 4.38 inches in length and height, and 2.19 inches in width, with a body depth of 2-3/16 inches. The unit weighs about 1.8 pounds. These compact dimensions enable installation in tight panels while preserving essential wiring space and terminal access.
Yes. The 574AT6 is rated IP66, providing robust dust and water jet protection, and is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards. This makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor industrial panels where rugged protection and regulatory compliance are required.
The enclosure is part of the Eaton Pauluhn 574 family and features a built-in 6-pole terminal block, enabling multi-circuit wiring in a single box. This design supports consistent Pauluhn accessory compatibility, reduces wiring complexity, and accelerates commissioning in panel assemblies and process controls.
