Eaton Crouse-Hinds 862B Rotary Switch - IP66, 120/240V

IP66 ingress protection provides reliable moisture and dust sealing, reducing field maintenance and extending service life in outdoor, washdown, or marine panels. Business impact: lower maintenance costs and fewer unscheduled outages, enabling tighter uptime targets in automation projects. Application: use in harsh-location control cabinets and outdoor enclosures where washdown or exposure to the elements is a concern. The 20A electrical rating with 1 hp at 120 V and 2 hp at 240 V capacity supports common motor controls without oversizing, lowering panel footprint and total cost of ownership. Business impact: simplified drive integration and reduced component count; Application: power small to mid-size motors in process or material handling lines. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments, translating to longer life and better reliability. Application: marine, petrochemical, or coastal installations where metallurgy matters. Surface-mount mounting and round brass body enable fast installation and clean aesthetics, improving panel density and reducing field alignment issues. Business impact: faster commissioning and easier retrofits. The compact dimensions—3.38 in length, 3.88 in height, 2.94 in width—fit standard electrical enclosures, supporting flexible layout and scalable panel designs. Application: retrofit projects and new builds seeking space-efficient control components. Weight at 2.1 lb contributes to easier handling and shipping logistics, lowering total project cost. In summary, the 862B delivers robust performance, straightforward installation, and durable operation within ordinary/non-hazardous locations while aligning with existing Eaton/Crouse-Hinds accessory ecosystems.
