Eaton Specification Sheet - SP6565 NW
60A current rating and 480 Vac operation deliver power for high-demand equipment without oversized accessories. This reduces panel space, wiring complexity, and protection coordination, cutting install time in the field. It also supports a broad frequency range of 60–400 Hz, making it compatible with mixed motor and control circuits in hazardous locations and SRD interlock setups. Copper-free aluminum housing with brass contacts reduces weight and corrosion risk compared to copper-based connectors. The lighter assembly speeds handling during installation and maintenance while offering dependable conductivity under tough plant conditions. This is advantageous in chemical processing, oil and gas, and mining environments where equipment longevity and lower maintenance costs matter. With a built-in cable grip and neoprene bushing, the SP6565 NW provides improved ingress protection and strain relief. This minimizes moisture intrusion, cable movement, and the need for field re-termination after vibration. Applications include conveyors, pumps, and outdoor equipment exposed to dust, moisture, or temperature cycling. Designed for SRD spring door receptacles and Style 2 grounding, the plug ensures safe interlock operations and straightforward replacement in explosion-protected enclosures. The design supports fast, reliable locking and reduces mis-wiring risk during maintenance. This is critical for safety-critical installations in chemical plants, refineries, and other hazardous zones. NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 7, 9, 3, 12 provide regulatory alignment and technical credibility. Certifications simplify sourcing and audits, while validating suitability for hazardous-location power distribution. This compatibility extends to UL-listed interlock assemblies and certification reports that support Canada and US installations. Cable diameter range 0.875–1.375 in enables flexible field wiring without changing connectors, saving commissioning time. The four-wire, five-pole configuration supports robust power feeds to SRD-enabled receptacles. Targeted for industrial automation, packaging, and process control in hazardous environments.
