Eaton AJC56 Back Box - 60A/100A/150A Through Feed
Part Number: AJC56
Quick Summary
AJC56 back box is a rugged enclosure designed for Arktite receptacles in non-hazardous industrial spaces. For engineers retrofitting panels, on-time installation and dependable cable routing are critical pain points, and this unit addresses both with an 8 inch depth and through-feed capability. The design leverages durable cast aluminum and precise fit to minimize misalignment during assembly. Area classification supports Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping facilities avoid unnecessary restrictions. While many markets require region-specific certifications, this model prioritizes robust mechanical protection and predictable performance in typical plant conditions. By combining ease of installation with compatible trade sizes and amperage options, it delivers real business value for panel builders and E&I teams.

FAQs
The AJC56 is designed for through-feed installation and supports trade sizes of 1, 1-1/4, and 1-1/2 inches. Mounting should align with standard Arktite receptacle patterns, with care taken to ensure clean routing of conductors and proper sealing in ordinary non-hazardous locations. The 8" length and 5.75" width fit typical panel footprints, enabling straightforward retrofits and new installs.
AJC56 is rated for 60A, 100A, and 150A, giving you flexibility for different circuit protections and loads. When selecting, size conductors and protective devices to match the chosen rating, and use the through-feed design to simplify conductor pull‑throughs while maintaining compliant clearances in standard environments.
Yes. The unit is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for many factory floors, offices, and non-hazardous control panels. Always verify regional electrical codes and any site-specific requirements, but the AJC56 provides reliable mechanical protection and a compact footprint for such spaces.
The provided data cites Area Classification for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. There are no explicit SIL, CE, or IP ratings listed in the data set. For final compliance, consult the Eaton datasheet and local regulations to confirm region-specific certifications needed for your installation.
The AJC56’s cast aluminum construction, lightweight design (about 2.4 lb), and through-feed installation reduce installation time and field adjustments, lowering labor costs. Durable materials minimize replacement frequency in standard environments, delivering predictable performance and lower maintenance overhead for panel assemblies over the equipment lifecycle.
