Eaton DSD948 J11 Pilot Light Cover and Device Sub-assembly - Hazardous/Classified Locations
Part Number: DSD948 J11
Quick Summary
DSD948 J11 pilot light cover and device sub-assembly provides reliable signaling in hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle to keep status indicators performing under dust, moisture, and explosive atmospheres, leading to unplanned downtime. This unit meets NEC/CEC standards and hazardous area ratings, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, with compatible NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9. The rugged blue housing, factory sealed construction, and a single pilot light deliver consistent visibility in tough environments. By combining reliability with straightforward installation in standard control panels, it helps reduce maintenance, support safe shutdown procedures, and simplify regulatory compliance for offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other hazardous-area equipment deployments. Secondary value comes from compatibility with Eaton Crouse-Hinds signaling solutions and easier spare-part sourcing.
