Eaton E50RAS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Eaton E50RAS limit switch be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The E50RAS carries NEMA 1, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 13 and IP67 ratings, so it holds up to outdoor exposure, hosedown and washdown, and temporary submersion. The 4X and 6P portion is what matters for corrosive washdown duty and wet locations. The enclosure is die-cast zinc, which is what gives it the impact and corrosion resistance behind those ratings.
2) Does the Eaton E50RAS come pre-wired, or do I have to run conduit to it?
It ships pre-wired. The E50RAS is a plug-in receptacle style body with a factory SOOW-A cable, so you land the cable at your control panel instead of building a conduit run and terminating inside the switch housing. That keeps the IP67 seal intact, since nobody opens the enclosure to wire it.
3) Will an Eaton E50RAS hold up next to an oven or in an unheated outdoor location?
Rated operating range is 10 degrees F to 200 degrees F. That covers hot equipment areas and most unheated or outdoor installs, but if your ambient drops below 10 F in winter, this is the wrong switch for that opening and you need a switch rated lower.
4) How far can I mount an E50 limit switch from the control panel?
The pre-wired cable is available up to 96 ft, so the switch can sit well away from the enclosure without a junction box or splice in between. SOOW-A cable is oil-resistant and flexible, which suits it to machine and conveyor runs where the lead is exposed.
5) How much room do I need to mount an Eaton E50 plug-in switch body?
The body measures 1.54 in wide by 2.92 in length/depth by 1.06 in high, so it fits tight machine guarding and conveyor frames where a full conduit-entry switch would not. Allow clearance beyond that for the operating head and for the cable bend radius coming off the plug-in connection.
6) Is the Eaton E50RAS UL Listed or UL Recognized, and does that matter for my panel inspection?
It is UL Recognized, not UL Listed. Recognized components are evaluated for use inside a larger listed assembly, which is normal for a limit switch built into machinery or a control panel that carries its own listing. It is also RoHS compliant.
7) What part number do I order for the Eaton E50 pre-wired plug-in switch in die-cast zinc?
The Eaton part number is E50RAS. It is the E50 series plug-in body in a die-cast zinc housing with the pre-wired SOOW-A cable. The E50 platform is modular, so the operating head and levers are specified separately from this body.
8) Should I use a plug-in limit switch body or a conduit-entry one?
Go plug-in, like the E50RAS, when the switch gets swapped out regularly or sits somewhere awkward to rewire: the cable is factory terminated and sealed, so a replacement is a disconnect and reconnect rather than a rewire, and the IP67 seal is never broken in the field. Choose a conduit-entry body instead when plant standards require the run in rigid or liquidtight to the device, or when you need a longer or different conductor set than the factory cable provides.
