304 stainless steel construction with a 16 gauge wall delivers outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, enabling long service life in washdown and moisture-prone areas. This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and less unscheduled downtime for critical automation panels, especially where equipment must withstand cleaning agents and humidity. The PB2M-4XS is part of the Eaton B-Line series, designed to integrate with standard enclosure accessories, and is sized for compact installations with a small single-door configuration. NEMA 4X rating provides robust environmental protection against dust, water, and corrosive spray, reducing the risk of ingress in demanding environments. In practice, that means your control circuits stay protected without bulky external housings or frequent gasket replacements, improving reliability across shifts. This makes it suitable for food processing, chemical handling, and outdoor automation racks where washdown cycles and solvent exposure are routine. Surface mounting with external mounting feet simplifies installation and minimizes on-site modification—no hidden brackets or retrofits required. The screw cover design and recessed pull ring facilitate quick access for commissioning and maintenance, while stainless steel screws resist corrosion even in humid plants. The enclosure is compatible with standard PBM4XS accessories, ensuring seamless expansion as control panels scale. Removable cover enables routine inspection and wiring changes without disassembling the entire enclosure, reducing maintenance time and service interruptions. The combination of removable cover, oil-resistant gasket, and tight-sealing 16 gauge walls delivers dependable protection for electrical controls in lubricant-heavy environments, such as gearboxes and conveyor lines. Compact dimensions—5.75 in high, 3 in deep, 3.25 in wide—and a light 2.1 lb weight support easy handling and installation in tight spaces. This makes it an economical upgrade for legacy panels needing improved protection and a modern, corrosion-resistant enclosure that aligns with modern safety and industry standards.
