FAQs
The 574BT6 is IP66 rated, providing dust-tight protection and protection against powerful water jets from all directions. This makes it well-suited for harsh industrial environments where dust, water spray, or washdown exposure is common, helping to prevent ingress that could compromise electrical terminations.
The 574BT6 uses surface mounting for quick, secure installation. Its external dimensions are 4.38 inches in length and height and 2-3/16 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 4.5 pounds. These specs fit standard panel cutouts and offer ample internal room for a 6-pole terminal block.
Yes. It is rated IP66 for dust and water ingress and classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. While it is well suited for outdoor or damp environments, it is not intended for Hazardous locations unless additional protective measures are employed and verified against local codes.
The 6-pole terminal block supports up to six conductors, enabling straightforward wiring for common control circuits. When wiring, ensure conductor sizes and torque specifications meet NEC/CEC requirements, maintain proper strain relief, and verify that the enclosure remains IP66-sealed after termination for continued protection.
Yes, the 574BT6 conforms to NEC/CEC standards and carries IP66 ingress protection with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification. This combination supports code-compliant installation in non-hazardous industrial settings, providing confidence for spec-driven procurement and maintenance planning.
