Eaton DH162UDKN DC disconnect - 60 A, 600 VDC, UL Listed
Part Number: DH162UDKN
Quick Summary
DC disconnect is a safe isolation switch for DC power in industrial systems. The DH162UDKN provides this function as a rugged, single-pole, 60 A device suitable for control panels and DC distribution in harsh environments. Key challenges include avoiding accidental energization during maintenance and ensuring code-compliant protection; this unit offers non-fusible protection and a NEMA 12 enclosure to meet those needs. UL Listed certification supports safety compliance, while factory-installed neutral assemblies streamline wiring and accelerate installation, reducing field errors and total cost of ownership. This makes it a reliable choice for industrial automation projects where uptime and safety matter most.
