Eaton DH162UWKN DC Disconnect - UL Listed, NEMA 4X, 304 SS
Part Number: DH162UWKN
Quick Summary
Eaton DC disconnects provide reliable isolation for 600 VDC systems in solar and industrial power layouts. Maintenance teams often struggle with safe lockout, corrosion resistance, and finding a durable DC isolation solution that fits a tight footprint. Key certifications include UL Listed safety approval and a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure, with a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel body. Coupled with factory-installed neutral assemblies and a 60 A, 600 VDC rating, it speeds installation and reduces total cost of ownership. This combination helps panel builders, OEMs, and service teams meet safety standards while minimizing downtime and field rework. UL Listed status, robust enclosure, and these design choices translate into a lower lifecycle cost and easier audits.
