Eaton SFS5-A Fan Speed Controller - cULus Listed
Part Number: SFS5-A
Quick Summary
The Eaton SFS5-A fan speed controller is designed to regulate motorized fans used in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and industrial cabinets. No neutral required is a big win for wiring efficiency and faster panel retrofits, especially in compact enclosures. The cULus Listed safety certification reinforces compliance for industrial environments, while its 60 Hz, 120 V operation aligns with common power standards. From a business perspective, it enables straightforward integration with existing automation assets, supports compact, maintenance-friendly panels, and helps achieve consistent cooling performance across multiple lines. Designed for panel-mounted control, the SFS5-A also reduces wiring complexity thanks to back-and-side wiring and a flush-mount footprint. These attributes support faster commissioning, safer maintenance, and measurable uptime improvements in critical production environments.

FAQs
The SFS5-A is designed for flush panel mounting with back-and-side wiring and does not require a neutral; this simplifies wiring and reduces panel alterations. Ensure the enclosure provides 120 V supply at 60 Hz, and use #14-12 AWG conductors. Secure all connections with proper torque to prevent vibration wear and maintain long-term reliability in automation cabinets.
Yes. The SFS5-A is a single-pole, single-phase controller rated for 120 V and 60 Hz, with a 14 lbf-in torque rating suitable for small to medium fans. Its compact flush-mount design and versatile wiring support retrofit in existing racks and new enclosures. The no-neutral requirement simplifies upgrades where panel space is limited.
The SFS5-A carries a cULus Listed safety certification, signaling compliance with safety standards for industrial environments. This facilitates faster validation, helps meet regulatory requirements for control panels and machinery, and supports audits by ensuring components meet established UL safety criteria. Relying on certified parts also reduces risk in mission-critical applications.
By enabling smooth, adjustable fan speed control, the SFS5-A minimizes unnecessary fan operation, lowering energy consumption and heat load. Reduced wiring complexity, faster commissioning, and lower maintenance costs contribute to a lower total cost of ownership over equipment life. OEMs benefit from improved reliability and shorter time-to-market with compliant panels.
The flush-mount design with a compact footprint fits crowded panels, while back-and-side wiring offers flexible routing. The no neutral requirement eases wiring changes during retrofits, and the almond polycarbonate housing provides durable, corrosion-resistant operation in challenging environments. This combination supports quick, risk-mitigated upgrades in existing automation equipment.
