Die-cast aluminum housing provides robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance, extending life in control panels and enclosures. This translates into fewer field replacements and lower maintenance costs, especially in damp factory environments. The NEMA configuration 6-20R ensures compatibility with widely used plugs, reducing mis-mating and inventory complexity while speeding up panel assembly and field service. A 250 V AC rating aligns with common industrial equipment standards, delivering safe operation for medium-power devices and helping prevent over- or under-voltage issues that can disrupt production lines. The Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification supports cost-effective compliance and simpler procurement, avoiding unnecessary certifications for non-hazardous environments. The watertight design language from Pauluhn, together with the catalog-page resources, facilitates dependable performance in moisture-prone areas and simplifies maintenance planning for engineers. Its installation compatibility with standard mounting arrangements and 6-20P plugs reduces retraining needs for technicians and accelerates onboarding. In short, this receptacle offers durable reliability, straightforward installation, and predictable total cost of ownership for non-hazardous industrial applications.
