Eaton Specification Sheet - EPJ505B
Explosionproof brass construction provides inherent safety margins and resistance to corrosive environments, reducing the risk of ignition and improving compliance with hazardous-location requirements. This feature translates to safer operation and lower insurance costs in chemical plants and oil refineries, where equipment exposure to vapors and wash-downs is routine. IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings deliver dust-tight and water ingress protection, enabling cleaner terminations and fewer enclosure-related failures in outdoor or harsh environments, which lowers maintenance frequency and extends service life. The 5.69 in length and 5.69 in height with a 3.5 in width, combined with a 9.7 lb weight, provide a compact yet sturdy footprint that fits tight spaces while resisting impact, vibration, and mounting stress. Surface mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations, reducing installation time and labor costs. Certification to NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location classifications (Class I/Division 1 and 2; Class II/Division 1 and 2) ensures regulatory compliance and smoother project approvals. Pauluhn EPJ505 lineage offers proven compatibility with standard conduit accessories, improving installation reliability and reducing the need for special parts. These attributes support faster commissioning, predictable performance, and lower lifecycle costs for hazardous-area electrical infrastructure.
