Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life in typical plant environments. This translates to lower replacement cycles and safer terminations in control panels and motor starters. Application: ideal for machine rooms and panel builds where weight and space are at a premium. Feature → Deep single-gang design increases internal volume, allowing more conductors and devices without crowding connections. Result: faster wiring, fewer errors, and improved thermal management in compact enclosures used on conveyors and presses. Feature → 1-inch trade size and C-shaped geometry enable streamlined installation with standard conduit fittings and accurate device mounting. Benefit: reduces commissioning time and ensures reliable, code-compliant terminations. Feature → NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary/non-hazardous location rating provide clear pathways for spec writers and procurement teams, avoiding over-specification. Application: suitable for general industry, water treatment, and packaging lines where non-hazardous environments prevail. Feature → Coherent family integration with Crouse-Hinds FD ecosystem ensures compatibility with FS/FD catalogs and standard covers, lowering part variability and spare-part inventory. Benefit: faster project wins and lower total cost of ownership over panel lifecycle.

Key specifications include copper-free aluminum construction, depth Deep, 1 gang, shape C, trade size 1", catalog number FDC3 SA, UPC 782274745138, dimensions 6.28 in L x 2.75 in H x 2.69 in W, weight 1.35 lb, area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, and standards NEC/CEC. These specs support reliable terminations, easy wiring in enclosures, and compliant installations in non-hazardous environments.
No. The FDC3 SA is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is not specified for outdoor use or hazardous locations. For outdoor or hazardous environment needs, select a box with appropriate IP rating, enclosure rating, and certifications to match the specific risk assessment and applicable codes.
FDC3 SA aligns with NEC/CEC standards for standard non-hazardous locations, and UL/CSA certification references support compliance in Canada and North America. These certifications matter for project approval, insurance requirements, and ensuring wiring methods meet national and regional electrical codes for safe, reliable operation.
Copper-free aluminum resists galvanic corrosion and reduces weight, which lowers field installation fatigue and handling time. Combined with the deep, single-gang design, it enables faster panel builds and fewer re-terminations. Over the lifecycle, you gain lower maintenance costs, longer service intervals, and improved durability in typical plant environments.
