Eaton CEAG Crouse-Hinds explosion-protected control station switches are designed specifically for industrial use in hazardous area environments and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, in particular chemical and offshore plants. A large actuator surface allows for operation even when wearing gloves and a protective collar prevents accidental operation.

• On-Off switch, Change over switch and push button switch options
• Top or bottom cable entry suitable for 2 x M25 or 2 x M20 cable glands
• Large push button toggle switch surface for operation even when wearing gloves

Designed for electrical automation and control environments, control station switches are commonly found in push button stations where users may be next to a machine or sitting at a control desk, within suspended operator panels or in a control panel. Suitable for a wide range of stop-start and electrical safety applications including factory conveyor belts, escalators and control panels. The CEAG control stations are suited to industrial lighting and similar uses.

•IP69K (rated as ’’complete assurance ’’provides the highest protection rating on the scale)
•IP67 (rated as "dust tight" and protected against immersion)

This explosion-protected control station switch from Eaton CEAG Crouse-Hinds is designed for use in hazardous industrial environments. It's used to switch lights on and off in Zone 1 and 2 explosive atmospheres at currents of up to 16A and voltages of 250V AC. The DPST (double-pole single-throw) contact configuration means the switch completely isolates the supply from the load to enhance safety. A large surface area makes this switch easy to operate even when you're wearing gloves, while a protective collar prevents accidental operation. It's ideal for use in chemical manufacturing and offshore power plants.

• Top or bottom cable entries suitable for 2 x M25 or 2 x M20 cable glands, for ease of installation
• Polyamide (PA) enclosure material with special steel (AISI 316 L) screw connectors for impact resistance and corrosion prevention
• IP66 (ingress protection) to withstand dust and fluid

Also known as surgical stainless steel, AISI 316 stainless steel is a chromium-nickel alloy. It's easily shaped and welded, highly resistant to corrosion and can perform well in a wide range of temperatures (-150°C to +950°C), so it's suitable for use in harsh conditions.
