Eaton Specification Sheet - DSD948 J3 SA
Feature: Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Business Impact: Prolonged service life and lighter installation weight, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: Offshore, chemical plants, and outdoor hazardous locations where exposure to corrosive atmospheres is common. The copper-free material also supports sustainability goals and regulatory compliance. Feature: Factory-sealed design prevents dust, water, and explosive atmospheres from compromising the pilot light indicator. Business Impact: Reduced maintenance cycles and fewer panel openings, translating to lower maintenance labor costs and downtime. Application: Enclosures with frequent washdowns or harsh ambient conditions in Class I/II locations. Feature: Integrated one pilot light in the cover-sub-assembly. Business Impact: Simplified wiring and reduced panel footprint, accelerating panel assembly and reducing installation time by eliminating separate pilot light housings. Application: Control stations and signal circuits in hazardous areas where space and simplicity matter. Feature: Green color coding and standardization with DSD lineup. Business Impact: Clear status indication and simplified troubleshooting for quick fault isolation. Application: Hazardous-area signaling across electrical rooms and process plants. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings (3, 7, 9) validate suitability for hazardous locations. Business Impact: Regulatory approval reduces the risk of non-compliance penalties and project delays. Application: Global installations requiring recognized safety certifications. Feature: Catalog-page compatibility with DSD cover and device sub-assemblies. Business Impact: Streamlined procurement and inventory planning, with consistent stocking and interchangeability. Application: OEM and end-user wiring cabinets needing standardized signaling components.

FAQs
Yes. The DSD948 J3 SA is designed as a pilot light cover and device sub-assembly compatible with Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD control stations and related DSD/X configurations. Its catalog number and form factor align with standard DSD components to simplify retrofit and new-build assemblies, reducing custom fabrication during installation.
The unit carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings including Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III, along with a NEMA 3, 7, 9 enclosure rating. These certifications support safe signaling in hazardous areas and outdoor or washdown environments, minimizing compliance risk.
Copper-free aluminum provides corrosion resistance critical in harsh environments, while a factory-sealed design protects the pilot light and sub-assembly from dust, moisture, and explosive atmospheres. This combination reduces maintenance and extends service intervals in offshore, chemical, and industrial installations.
The integrated pilot light and factory-sealed sub-assembly shorten wiring and assembly steps, reducing panel footprint and labor. Copper-free aluminum minimizes corrosion-related wear, lowering replacement frequency. Overall, expect shorter commissioning times and lower lifecycle maintenance spend in hazardous-area applications.
Absolutely. Its NEC/CEC compliance, hazardous-location ratings, and NEMA enclosure protection make it suitable for global deployments where regulatory approvals and safe signaling are mandated. The component’s compatibility with DSD control-station ecosystems further supports scalable, standardized industrial signaling across sites.
