Eaton TP184 Switch Box - 12.5 cu in, NEC/CEC
Part Number: TP184
Quick Summary
The Eaton TP184 switch box provides rugged steel protection for wiring enclosures in industrial installations. Engineers often face tight space, misaligned knockouts, and limited mounting flexibility when deploying enclosures in compact control panels. This model meets NEC/CEC standards for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and offers a 12.5 cubic inch capacity within a compact 2 x 3 x 2.5 inch footprint, with gangable capability. With integrated AC/MC clamps and a S, Set 5/8" bracket system, TP184 reduces field modification time and speeds safe, code-compliant wiring. The result is reliable protection, scalable wiring, and improved project delivery across automation and electrical install projects.

FAQs
TP184 provides end, side, and bottom knockouts at 1/2 inch, plus two cable knockouts, and matches AC/MC clamps. This layout supports flexible conduit routing, simplifies wiring schematics, and minimizes field modification, making it ideal for compact control panels and machine enclosures in industrial settings.
Yes. TP184 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. This enables straightforward adoption in general industrial facilities and machine rooms, with confidence in regulatory alignment and predictable field performance for routine electrical protection.
TP184 is gangable, allowing multiple boxes to be joined side-by-side to accommodate growing wiring density. In practice, you can extend panel capacity without reworking existing enclosures, which reduces install time, lowers labor costs, and supports scalable automation projects in evolving production lines.
TP184 measures 2 in in length, 3 in in height, and 2.5 in in width, with a 12.5 cubic inch internal capacity. It’s crafted from steel and weighs approximately 0.7 lb, providing a compact yet protective solution for mounting and enclosure within space-constrained control cabinets.
Ensure correct knockout use by planning conduit entry points (end, side, bottom), utilize the included AC/MC clamps for secure cable management, and leverage the gangable feature for future expandability. Verify NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary locations and consult the Eaton specification sheet to align with recommended bracket and mounting practices.
