Part number
574BT4-C1
Quick Summary
Eaton 574BT4-C1 junction box provides rugged field-wiring protection for control panels in harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with moisture ingress and installation complexity in surface-mounted enclosures, especially when spaces are tight or wiring must pass through multiple points. This model meets IP66, NEC/CEC compliance, and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classifications, delivering reliable performance in industrial settings. Brass construction resists corrosion in damp environments, while a 1/2 inch trade size through-feed terminal block simplifies wiring. The 2-3/16 inch depth and 4-pole terminal block support efficient cable management and rapid termination, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership for panel builders and maintenance teams. As a surface-mount enclosure, it integrates neatly into control panels and equipment racks, enabling compliant installations that meet OSHA and IEC expectations.

FAQs
The 574BT4-C1 features a 1/2 inch trade-size through-feed terminal block within a 4-pole configuration, all housed in a brass IP66-rated enclosure. This design enables clean, continuous conductor routing from one side of the box to the other without compromising sealing integrity. For installers, this means faster termination, fewer entry points to seal, and improved reliability in wash-down or damp factory environments.
As a surface-mount Pauluhn 574 series box, the 574BT4-C1 integrates quickly with minimal chassis modification. Its 2-3/16 in depth and 4.38 in height provide a compact footprint suitable for crowded control panels. Ensure proper gasket seating and surface mounting hardware is used to maintain IP66 integrity, and route cables to the 1/2" trade-size ports to preserve seal effectiveness during maintenance or panel upgrades.
Yes. The unit is listed for NEC/CEC compliance and suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, which aligns with standard industrial panel fabrication and general purpose wiring. IP66 ingress protection further supports compliance in damp or dusty environments. Always verify site-specific codes and classification with your electrical engineer to ensure full regulatory alignment for each installation.
Typical applications include control panels, motor control centers, and general purpose enclosures in manufacturing, process industries, and marine or wash-down environments where robust protection and reliable terminations are required. The 574BT4-C1’s brass construction, 4-pole terminal block, and through-feed capability make it a preferred choice for space-constrained panel builds that demand durable, corrosion-resistant wiring hubs.
Brass provides excellent corrosion resistance in moisture-prone or wash-down environments, reducing enclosure degradation over time. The IP66 rating protects against dust and water ingress, minimizing downtime for maintenance. Combined with rapid through-feed wiring and a durable mounting design, the 574BT4-C1 lowers life-cycle costs by reducing replacements, rework, and service calls in demanding industrial settings.
