Eaton TP216 Switch Box - 12.5 cu in NEC/CEC cert
Part Number: TP216
Quick Summary
The Eaton TP216 switch box is a rugged, snap-in steel enclosure designed for conduit wiring in control panels across industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with space constraints, misfit fittings, and slow panel builds when boxes lack flexible mounting options. This model carries NEC/CEC compliance and UL listings for steel switch boxes, including US and Canada registrations. With 12.5 cubic inches of capacity, a 2-1/2 in depth, and gangable, snap-in construction, the TP216 delivers reliable protection while streamlining installs in process and control cabinets. By combining compliance, space efficiency, and field-installation convenience, it supports faster projects and lower lifecycle costs for manufacturers.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TP216 uses a snap-in, gangable steel switch box construction, delivering faster installation and higher panel density, reducing wiring time and labor costs in control panels. This translates to measurable efficiency gains in electrical protection and circuit control deployments in industrial environments. Feature → Application: Conduit (no clamps) and knockouts (one end, one side at 1/2 in) enable flexible routing with minimal hardware, simplifying retrofits and new builds for process lines and machine panels. Feature → Application: Weighing only 0.69 lb with compact 2 in length and 2.5 in width, it enhances handling and reduces shipping and on-site fatigue in tight spaces. Feature → Compliance: NEC/CEC standards plus UL listings for US and Canada mitigate risk and streamline procurement across multinational sites. Feature → Compatibility: Gangable, snap-in design works seamlessly with other Crouse-Hinds steel boxes for multi-gang configurations in control rooms and switchgear assemblies.
