Eaton Specification Sheet - STBS1151208
Polished 316L stainless steel construction delivers superior corrosion resistance and fatigue tolerance, reducing replacement costs in aggressive environments and extending service intervals for automation panels. This translates to higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership in chemical plants, offshore facilities, and washdown-heavy facilities. IP66/NEMA 4X protection provides dependable ingress resistance against dust, water, and washdowns, enabling safer operation in harsh production areas and simplifying maintenance routines. The hazardous location approvals (Class I, Division 2; IECEx/ATEX; NEC/CEC) support global deployments, reducing the need for site-specific enclosures and speeding project approvals for multi-site rollouts. The compact 15" x 12" x 8" footprint and weight around 3.5 lb facilitate straightforward mounting, wiring, and retrofits into existing cabinets without major panel rework. Overall compatibility with standard control hardware and mounting hardware keeps installation predictable and scalable across automation architectures. Documentation and datasheets from Eaton provide clear installation guidance, speeding procurement and commissioning.
