Eaton PBP6 Push Button Enclosures - NEMA 12 Rated
Part Number: PBP6
Quick Summary
Eaton PBP6 push button enclosures provide durable, surface-mounted housing for control stations in demanding industrial environments. Maintenance crews wrestle with protecting sensitive controls from dust, moisture, and oil leaks in tight spaces. Key standards include a NEMA 12 rating with carbon steel construction and an oil-resistant gasket, made in the US for traceability. For installers and procurement teams, the PBP6 supports surface mounting with external feet and a hinged cover to speed commissioning. Its 11 inch by 6 inch by 7.5 inch footprint balances enclosure capacity with footprint control, while the 14 gauge carbon steel wall resists deformation in busy plant floors. Users gain predictable performance under typical automation workloads, with reduced downtime and simpler parts sourcing across Eaton’s B-Line series.
