Eaton DH162NDK DC disconnect - UL Listed 600VDC
Part Number: DH162NDK
Quick Summary
Eaton DC disconnect safely isolates 600 VDC power for solar and industrial DC circuits. Field technicians often contend with mismatched enclosure standards, awkward wiring layouts, and safety gaps when installing DC switching in crowded control spaces. UL Listed certification ensures electrical safety, the NEMA 12/3R enclosure guards against dust and incidental moisture, and the fusible with neutral design simplifies panel wiring. Designed for solar disconnect and industrial DC control applications, this unit helps technicians speed commissioning, reduces field rework, and supports safer, code-driven installations even in space-constrained environments. With a robust 60 A rating and 600 VDC capability, it delivers reliable protection while simplifying maintenance and stocking of common spares.
