Eaton DSD948 J3 Pilot Light Cover - Hazardous
Part Number: DSD948 J3
Quick Summary
Eaton DSD948 J3 pilot light cover and device sub-assembly signals status in hazardous-area control panels. Industrial maintenance in hazardous environments is costly when seals fail or lights fog, leading to unplanned downtime. This unit delivers a factory-sealed enclosure, green indicator, and rugged Feraloy iron alloy body to resist tough conditions while meeting NEC/CEC ratings for Class I, II, and III locations with NEMA 3, 7, 9 protection. By standardizing on this sub-assembly, engineers gain installation speed, inventory simplicity, and a clear path to regulatory compliance in hazardous locations.

Eaton Specification Sheet - DSD948 J3
Factory-sealed construction provides ingress protection against dust, moisture, and gases, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime in hazardous areas. Business impact: longer service life and lower spare-part costs; application: control panels in chemical plants or oil & gas facilities. Feraloy iron alloy housing delivers rugged durability under high-temperature and corrosive conditions, improving field reliability. Business impact: fewer field failures; application: harsh offshore environments and mining sites. Green indicator with a single pilot light minimizes footprint while delivering clear status signaling. Business impact: quicker fault diagnosis and reduced wiring complexity; application: compact control enclosures and retrofit projects. Dimensions of 5.1 in L, 3.75 in W, 3.6 in H with a 3.3 lb weight provide predictable fit in standard DSD assemblies. Business impact: streamlined installation and compatibility with existing DSD control stations; application: retrofit programs and modular panel builds. Certification alignment including NEC/CEC Class I/II/III, and NEMA 3/7/9 ensures compliance and regulatory risk reduction. Business impact: simplified procurement and faster time-to-compliance for hazardous-location panels; application: plants and facilities subject to strict electrical safety codes. The green pilot light and factory-sealed design also support maintenance planning and inventory optimization for ongoing operations. Business impact: improved total cost of ownership and predictable maintenance schedules; application: industrial automation environments with stringent safety requirements.

FAQs
DSD948 J3 is designed as a pilot light cover and device sub-assembly for Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD control stations, featuring a factory-sealed housing and the same footprint as common DSD components. It supports a single pilot light and aligns with DSDX sub-assemblies, allowing quick integration into existing hazardous-location control panels without modification. Ensure the enclosure remains compliant with Class I/II/III locations during retrofit or new installations.
DSD948 J3 carries NEC/CEC standards for hazardous-rated equipment, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. It also carries NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9, and is suitable for Hazardous/Classified Locations. These certifications support compliance in industrial environments and reduce regulatory risk during audits and downtime planning.
Yes. The DSD948 J3 has Canadian certification listings available via UL Canada references, ensuring conformity with local hazardous-location requirements. For project-specific approval, reference the UL Canada pages linked in Eaton’s certification documents and verify your installation site’s jurisdictional code adoption.
The factory-sealed design minimizes ingress of dust, moisture, and hazardous gases, lowering maintenance frequency and replacement costs. The rugged Feraloy iron alloy housing enhances durability in tough environments, while the single pilot light provides a compact signaling solution that simplifies wiring and reduces enclosure real estate. Overall, it enables faster commissioning and easier spare-part management in hazardous-area panels.
Using the DSD948 J3 consolidates signaling components into a single, certified sub-assembly, which lowers total cost of ownership by reducing seal failures, extending service intervals, and simplifying stock management for spares. In hazardous-area projects, this translates to shorter downtime during commissioning and repairs, faster regulatory validation, and improved predictability for maintenance budgeting.
