Eaton TP240 Switch Box - 18 cu in Capacity, NEC/CEC
Part Number: TP240
Quick Summary
Eaton TP240 switch box provides a durable steel enclosure for NM wiring in industrial control panels, delivering reliable protection in demanding environments. Installers often struggle with limited space, awkward knockouts, and mounting constraints that slow projects and increase the risk of wiring errors. This model is NEC/CEC compliant and UL-listed for steel switch boxes, suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and designed to pass routine inspections with confidence. The gangable design, 18 cubic inch capacity, and NM clamps support scalable, clean wiring layouts while preserving cabinet footprint. By aligning with standard panel dimensions and familiar knockout patterns, TP240 accelerates assembly, reduces material waste, and enhances long-term reliability in manufacturing and process environments.

Feature: The TP240 uses a rugged steel enclosure delivering 18 cubic inches of internal space to accommodate splices, connectors, and NM terminations without crowding. Business Impact: This extra capacity reduces termination time, minimizes the need for rework, and speeds panel assembly, cutting labor costs on busy production lines. Application: Ideal for control panels in manufacturing and process equipment where reliable protection and cable management matter. Feature: NM clamps and a full set of knockouts provide flexible wiring options—one end knockout, two side knockouts, one bottom knockout—and two NM clamps. Business Impact: This simplifies conductor routing, preserves insulation clearances, and reduces the chance of cable damage during installation and maintenance. Application: Well-suited for standard NM cable installations in steel switch boxes within automation cabinets. Feature: Gangable design with a bracket style F, set 1/2 inch, lets you combine multiple boxes into larger enclosures without custom fabrication. Business Impact: Enables scalable control architectures and reduces procurement complexity for multi-gang panels. Application: Common in machine control, packaging lines, and centralized monitoring stations. Feature: Compact dimensions—2 in depth, 3 in height, 3.5 in width—and a weight of 0.88 lb offer a space-efficient solution without sacrificing rigidity. Business Impact: Easier mounting in tight panels, higher circuit density, and lower overall enclosure footprint. Application: Useful where panel real estate is at a premium in automotive, packaging, and material handling environments. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance, Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification, and UL certification. Business Impact: Ensures regulatory alignment, improves inspection pass rates, and reduces risk in plant installations. Application: Essential for OEM equipment and facilities requiring proven safety and code conformity.
