Eaton EDSCM63 Modular Device Body - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: EDSCM63
Quick Summary
The Eaton EDSCM63 modular device body is designed to house explosion-proof control components in hazardous locations. When panels must fit through tight spaces, wiring complexity and maintenance frustration can derail projects. It carries NEC/CEC hazardous ratings across Class I, II, and III locations, plus NEMA 3, 7, and 9 protection, offering durable compliance in harsh environments. This solution delivers space-efficient through-feed multi-gang capability with copper-free aluminum construction, enabling faster installations, easier upgrades, and long-term cost savings for industrial automation and hazardous-area control systems. Secondary benefits include robust compatibility with DSD device cover sub-assemblies and streamlined field servicing for critical applications.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EDSCM63
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Three-gang tandem body with through-feed design increases panel density and reduces enclosure count, delivering a smaller footprint and lower installation time in hazardous locations, ideal for complex control schemes in process and chemical plants. This translates to lower capex per control panel and faster commissioning in tight plant spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight compared with traditional materials, improving handling, site safety, and long-term reliability in offshore, marine, and industrial environments where exposure to moisture and salt is common. Use this in cable-rich motor control centers to extend service intervals and reduce maintenance costs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Hub configuration of two 2" hubs and two 1-1/4" hubs offers flexible wiring routes and simplified fill calculations, minimizing the need for adapters and reducing wiring errors during panel assembly. Deploy this layout in retrofits or expansions where existing conduit runs require precise routing while maintaining through-feed capability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated for NEC/CEC hazardous locations with Class I, II, III across Division 1 and 2 and NEMA 3/7/9, delivering proven compliance and ruggedness for demanding environments. This supports regulated industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine applications where regulatory adherence and uptime are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with DSD device cover sub-assemblies enables modular upgrades and tailored operator interfaces without a full panel rewrite, reducing downtime and permitting rapid adaptation to evolving process control requirements in hazardous areas.

FAQs
The EDSCM63 should be mounted in a suitable enclosure designed for explosion-proof or dust-ignition protection, with correct gaskets and seals for Class I Division 1 conditions. Utilize the three-gang tandem body’s through-feed hubs (two 2" and two 1-1/4"), follow NEC/CEC wiring methods, and ensure conduit and cable entries maintain enclosure integrity while complying with hazardous-location requirements.
Yes, the EDSCM63 is designed to be used with DSD device cover sub-assemblies, enabling customized control interfaces and easier field updates without reworking the entire device body. This compatibility supports flexible control panel configurations while maintaining hazardous-location integrity and enclosure protection.
The EDSCM63 carries NEC/CEC hazardous-location certifications covering Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III, along with NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9, and area classification for hazardous/classified locations. These approvals ensure safe operation in demanding environments such as oil, gas, chemical plants, and marine facilities.
The device body offers two 2" hubs and two 1-1/4" hubs, with a 2" trade size and a through-feed, three-gang tandem configuration. This setup supports efficient wire routing, reduces the need for junction adapters, and enables streamlined wiring layouts for dense control panels in hazardous-area applications.
ROI benefits include reduced panel footprint and faster installation due to the through-feed design and multi-gang arrangement, which lowers labor costs. The corrosion-resistant copper-free aluminum and rugged NEMA/NEC certifications reduce maintenance and compliance risks, while compatibility with DSD covers enables rapid upgrades without full panel rewiring, improving uptime and lifecycle costs.
