Eaton Specification Sheet - DSD961 J3 SA
Copper-free aluminum construction delivers excellent corrosion resistance while reducing weight and lifecycle costs, enabling longer equipment life in demanding environments. The material choice also supports regulatory compliance for environmental and material standards in hazardous locations, reducing total cost of ownership. Factory sealing prevents dust, moisture, and chemical ingress, lowering maintenance frequency and minimizing unplanned downtime for critical control panels in oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine applications. The two cover buttons plus one pilot light provide clear status indication and immediate local control, improving operator response times and reducing cycle times in automated lines. The green color aids quick visual identification in complex switchgear layouts, while the 2-button configuration supports common control logic without added hardware. NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9 ensure compatible installation in diverse hazardous locations, streamlining procurement and installation for plant engineers. Compatibility with Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD family devices supports scalable panel designs and simplifies field retrofits, reducing commissioning time and project risk.
