Feature: The B293A-6ZN measures 3.5 in high, 6 in long, and 1.62 in wide, weighing 1.44 lb. Business Impact: This compact footprint supports stable, repeatable installations without excessive bulk, improving rack density and reducing material waste. Application: Ideal for mounting cross-members and small electrical assemblies in control panels and equipment racks. Feature: Steel construction with an electro-plated finish. Business Impact: Electro-plating enhances corrosion resistance, extending service life in damp plant environments and reducing maintenance. Application: Suitable for indoor electrical projects, cable tray supports, and light-duty mechanical mounts in industrial facilities. Feature: Bracket type is Channel opening downward. Business Impact: Downward channel orientation minimizes above-slab clearance when mounting to overhead or ceiling-mounted strut systems. Application: Ideal for suspended conduit runs and cable management in raised-floor or mezzanine setups. Feature: Special features include one mounting hole of 9/16 inch diameter. Business Impact: A single, standardized hole simplifies fabrication and field installation with common hardware. Application: Quick attach/detach options for temporary fixtures or rework. Feature: Catalog compatibility and support materials include Strut Fittings Catalog Section and an Eaton spec sheet. Business Impact: Streamlines design-to-procurement workflows and reduces sourcing lead times. Application: Use in design reviews and BOMs with exact catalog references.

FAQs
The B293A-6ZN is designed for standard Eaton B-Line strut systems and downward-channel mounting. It fits cross-members and small electrical assemblies in control panels and equipment racks, providing a reliable, repeatable mounting base within common industrial layouts.
The downward channel opening positions hardware to minimize above-slab clearance, simplifying overhead or ceiling-mounted installations. This orientation improves clearance in tight spaces and reduces risk of interference with other components while maintaining secure load paths.
The bracket uses electro-plated steel for improved corrosion resistance in typical indoor industrial environments. While not rated for extreme outdoor or corrosive exposure, it delivers durable performance for standard panel and rack mounting within controlled facilities.
Certifications for this specific bracket are listed as Not Applicable. Users should verify their project’s regulatory requirements (such as CE or IP ratings) with their compliance team and cross-check compatibility with Eaton’s Strut Fittings Catalog Section for exact specifications relevant to their installation.
Using the B293A-6ZN can reduce part variety and simplify procurement by aligning with existing Eaton Strut Systems. Its electro-plated finish and steel construction offer durable performance, lowering maintenance cycles and replacement costs in standard installations, while speeding installation and improving field reliability.
