No neutral required simplifies wiring and reduces neutral conductor routing, enabling faster installs and fewer wiring errors in panel builds. Flush mounting and back-and-side wiring options cut installation depth and improve accessibility, delivering cost savings on labor and materials while preserving front-panel aesthetics. The 120 V, 60 Hz, single-phase configuration delivers reliable, industry-standard control for enclosure fans, supporting predictable performance and regulatory compliance. The 3-way (three-way) and single-pole operation provides flexible control from multiple locations, reducing the need for additional switches and wiring harnesses. A 5 A torque rating (14 lbf-inch) ensures firm, repeatable operation with compact polycarbonate housing that resists impact in demanding environments. cULus Listed certification reinforces safety and compatibility with North American electrical codes. Overall, the SFS5P-LA offers a robust, space-efficient solution that accelerates commissioning for automation and control projects while delivering energy savings and reduced maintenance needs.

FAQs
To install the SFS5P-LA, power must be disconnected, then mount flush in the panel opening. Connect conductors to the back and side terminals using 14 AWG to 12 AWG conductors as appropriate. No neutral connection is required. Secure with the provided hardware and verify 120 V single-phase supply and 60 Hz before energizing the circuit. This approach minimizes wiring clutter and speeds up commissioning in existing panels.
Yes. The SFS5P-LA is specified for 120 V and 60 Hz single-phase operation, making it a direct fit for standard industrial control panels and fan assemblies. Its 5 A rating supports typical enclosure cooling fans while maintaining safe torque and switching performance.
The SFS5P-LA is cULus Listed, indicating compliance with North American safety standards for electrical devices. This certification helps streamline regulatory approvals, supports supplier qualifications, and reduces risk during audits, particularly in regulated facilities and panel assemblies.
Three-way operation allows fan speed control from multiple locations, improving operability in larger panels or systems with distributed control points. Single-pole operation provides straightforward on/off-style control. Together, they offer design flexibility, simplify wiring strategies, and enable scalable control architectures without extra hardware.
By delivering precise speed control with a robust polycarbonate body and no neutral requirement, the SFS5P-LA reduces wiring complexity, lowers installation labor, and minimizes panel space. The result is lower upfront costs, longer fan life due to optimized airflow, reduced maintenance cycles, and a lower total cost of ownership over the system life.
