Manufacturer
Eaton Crouse-Hinds
Part number
EABX16 DIN16 ATEX
Quick Summary
The EABX16 DIN16 ATEX conduit outlet box protects electrical terminations in hazardous locations within industrial automation. Too many enclosures force engineers to trade off compliance, installation speed, or DIN-rail compatibility. This product delivers NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance, IP66 ingress protection, and a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure rating, ensuring safe operation across harsh environments and changing regulations. With DIN rail mounting, six terminal blocks, and a 3 inch cover opening, it streamlines wiring, reduces panel footprint, and cuts installation time. Manufactured from Feraloy iron alloy for corrosion resistance and heat resilience, it supports reliable long‑term service in chemical plants, oil fields, and similar operations.

FAQs
The EABX16 is designed for DIN rail mounting and fits a compact footprint (5.31 in length, 2.53 in width, 5.31 in height) with a 3 inch cover opening and 1/2 inch trade size. It supports six terminal blocks, is constructed from Feraloy iron alloy, and complies with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX. This enables straightforward integration into existing panels, reduces redesign needs, and ensures reliable operation in ATEX zones.
ATEX/IECEx certification confirms explosion‑hazard compliance, while IP66 provides dust-tight and high‑pressure water jet protection. The NEMA 4 rating adds weather and corrosion resistance for indoor/outdoor use. Together, these ratings deliver robust enclosure performance, minimizing ingress, preventing equipment failure, and supporting long service life in demanding environments such as chemical plants and oil fields.
Yes. The EABX16 is specifically designed for hazardous locations, with ATEX/IECEx certification, IP66/NEMA 4 protection, and rugged ferrous construction. Its DIN rail mounting and six terminal blocks support dense wiring and modular panel designs common in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This makes it a reliable choice for field wiring and terminal protection in harsh process environments.
EABX16 carries NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certifications for hazardous locations, aligning with global standards. The IP66 and NEMA 4 ratings provide ingress and environmental protection guarantees, essential for equipment reliability in harsh sites. These certifications reduce regulatory risk, simplify procurement across multinational projects, and support safe, compliant operation in challenging industrial environments.
The Feraloy iron alloy housing offers durable resistance to corrosion and heat, lowering replacement frequency and maintenance costs. DIN rail mounting accelerates installation and future upgrades, while six terminal blocks optimize wiring density. Overall, you gain reduced downtime, easier panel upgrades, and improved long-term total cost of ownership in hazardous-location applications.
