Eaton Crouse-Hinds AFU0333 55 S752 AST Addressability Control Switch - IP66

AFU0333 55 S752 AST employs a dedicated addressability switch that enables precise, location-aware actuation within a broader control network. This capability translates into faster fault isolation and targeted responses, reducing downtime during fault conditions and enabling safer process automation in hazardous spaces. The Feraloy iron alloy construction combined with a Corro-free epoxy powder coat delivers superior corrosion resistance. In plant environments with moisture, chemicals, or salt spray, this translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. With IP66 ingress protection and NEMA ratings 3, 4, and 9, AFU0333 withstands dust, water jets, and harsh chemicals while maintaining performance. This robust protection supports reliable operation in chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other hazardous locations. The switch requires 25 lb total operating force and 15 lb without the switch, offering a balanced tactile feel that resists inadvertent actuation. Its double-end configuration provides mounting flexibility and simplifies integration into existing enclosures and AFU addresses. At 18.28 inches long, 9.5 inches wide, and 5.68 inches high, with a 26.45 lb weight, the unit fits standard control panels while giving robust actuation capability. Standard installation guidance and specification sheets, including IF 1678 and the Eaton AFU literature, ease commissioning. This combination of durability, compatibility, and clear performance metrics helps reduce lifecycle costs and accelerates project timelines in modern plant automation.
