Eaton TP239 Switch Box - 18 cu in Capacity
Part Number: TP239
Quick Summary
The Eaton TP239 Switch Box provides a rugged enclosure for wiring and terminations in industrial control panels. Engineers often wrestle with limited space, confusing knockouts, and grounding gaps when wiring in compact enclosures. This model aligns with NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for steel switch boxes, including U.S. and Canadian approvals. Manufactured for ordinary locations, it delivers reliable protection with a gangable steel body, NM clamps, ears, and a ground pigtail. Used in control panels, machine wiring, and field installations, TP239 shows up as a practical, space-efficient choice. Its 18 cubic inch capacity accommodates conductors and terminations without crowding, reducing rework and warranty issues.

Steel construction provides rugged durability essential for demanding industrial environments, while its gangable design lets you combine enclosures to meet changing panel needs. This translates to measurable business impact: fewer distinct boxes, less field wiring, and faster assembly with modular scalability that reduces project lead times. In practical terms, TP239 is ideal for control panels, machine wiring, and field installations where space is tight but reliability cannot be compromised. The robust steel body resists impact and maintains enclosure integrity in busy plant settings, helping you meet uptime targets. NM clamps and clearly defined knockouts offer wiring flexibility without improvisation. The bottom knockout (1/2 in) and two additional cable knockouts support secure conduit routing and neat terminations, while NM clamps simplify direct wiring of non-metallic cables. This combination minimizes prep time, reduces wire damage, and lowers inspection findings in standard electrical installations. Ears and ground pigtail expedite grounding continuity, a critical factor in panel safety and compliance. The grounding feature speeds installation and improves reliability across all enclosures, especially when multiple devices share a common ground path. By aligning with NEC/CEC grounding requirements, TP239 reduces commissioning risk and helps your project pass final inspections more smoothly. Compact footprint with 18 cubic inches of capacity ensures room for conductors, splices, and small devices without crowding. At 3-1/2 inches deep, 3 inches height, and 2 inches wide, the TP239 fits crowded switchgear racks and wall-mounted panels alike. Lightweight enough to handle during installation yet sturdy enough to withstand rough plant environments. Compliance and certifications are central to your sourcing decisions. TP239 follows NEC/CEC standards and carries UL certifications for U.S. and Canadian approvals, giving you confidence for audits and job-site approvals. The ordinary/non-hazardous location rating expands applicability across general industrial settings, from packaging lines to assembly stations.

FAQs
The TP239 is designed to integrate with standard gangable steel enclosures in control panels. It uses NM clamps for direct non-metallic cable terminations and includes common knockout patterns (bottom 1/2 in and additional cable knockouts) to simplify routing. This alignment reduces the need for adapters and minimizes field rework during panel expansion or reconfiguration.
TP239 provides 18 cubic inches of internal capacity with overall dimensions of 3 in depth, 3.5 in height, and 2 in width. This balance delivers ample space for conductors and terminations while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for crowded panels and wall-mounted installations, reducing crowding and heat buildup in typical control configurations.
Yes, TP239 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It includes ears and a ground pigtail to ensure reliable grounding continuity, which speeds installation, improves safety, and simplifies compliance with NEC/CEC grounding requirements across general industrial environments.
TP239 complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries UL certifications applicable to both the United States and Canada. This dual-certification approach supports audits and project approvals in multinational deployments, ensuring consistent code-compliant performance in diverse market regions.
The TP239 reduces part counts through a gangable steel design, simplifies wiring with NM clamps and defined knockouts, and speeds grounding with built-in features. These factors collectively shorten installation time, lower labor costs, and minimize rework, delivering predictable ROI in routine panel-building projects.
