The ARE36 back box uses a 60A rating and a 1" trade size to provide reliable capacity for standard control circuits while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for panel enclosures. This combination reduces the need for oversized boxes and helps optimize panel real estate, which translates to faster wiring and less material waste during installation. The one hub design simplifies routing, minimizes knockouts, and accelerates terminations, resulting in lower labor costs and quicker commissioning on site. Cast aluminum construction delivers durability, corrosion resistance, and robust mechanical protection in everyday industrial environments, improving long-term reliability and reducing maintenance downtime. With its ordinary/non-hazardous area classification, ARE36 fits broad commercial and light-industrial applications, while compatible with Arktite receptacle ecosystems, ensuring seamless integration into existing enclosure layouts. The enclosure’s dimensions (4.69 in L × 5.69 in H × 4.25 in W) and weight (2.05 lb) strike a practical balance between ease of handling and protective performance, enabling simpler installation in tight panels and behind equipment racks. Access to Eaton’s specification sheets and catalogs supports precise selection, compliant installation, and future expansion planning.
