Eaton L-Shaped Aluminum Mounting Bracket for Photoelectric Sensors

The Eaton L-Shaped Aluminum Mounting Bracket is a rugged accessory built to securely position photoelectric sensors and related control components in demanding industrial settings. Machined from aluminum with a chromate finish, this bracket resists corrosion while standing up to an operating temperature range of -40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C). It carries an exceptionally broad environmental rating — NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12, 12K, 13 — making it suitable for everything from clean indoor panels to outdoor, washdown, and submersible-duty applications.

Key Features

Eaton 6161A-6501 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Eaton 6161A-6501 sensor bracket be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The Eaton L-shaped aluminum sensor bracket carries an environmental rating of NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12, 12K and 13, which covers indoor panels, outdoor and rain-exposed locations, hosedown and washdown duty, and dust- and oil-tight industrial areas. The aluminum body with a chromate finish is what gives it the corrosion resistance to sit outside or in a wet process area.
2) Will this Eaton bracket hold up in a freezer or an unheated outdoor installation?
The L-shaped aluminum bracket is rated from -40 to 158 degrees F (-40 to 70 degrees C), so cold storage, freezer rooms and unheated outdoor mounting are all inside its range, as are hot process areas up to 158 F. Check the sensor you are mounting separately, since the sensor's own temperature rating is usually the narrower of the two.
3) Is the Eaton sensor bracket steel or aluminum, and will it corrode in a food plant?
Aluminum, with a chromate conversion finish over it. That combination is what lets it carry NEMA 4 and 6P ratings for washdown and wet locations rather than rusting the way a plain plated steel bracket would. It is not stainless, so for aggressive caustic or chlorinated washdown chemistry, confirm the cleaner is compatible with chromated aluminum.
4) Is there more than one version of the Eaton L-shaped photoelectric sensor bracket to choose from?
No options to pick. The L-shaped aluminum sensor bracket is a single configuration ordered as manufacturer part number 6161A-6501, in the chromate finish. There are no size, finish or handing choices to specify.
5) Can I use this bracket to mount a sensor inside a NEMA 12 control panel as well as on the machine?
Yes. The ratings on this Eaton bracket run from NEMA 1 clean indoor through NEMA 12 and 12K dust-tight and NEMA 13 oil-tight, so the same part works inside an enclosure or out on the equipment. One bracket type across a plant means one spare to stock instead of separate indoor and outdoor hardware.
