Mersen‘s finger safe IP20-rated Power Distribution Blocks are part of the
new Compact EP® line of products. The compact footprint allows space
savings in panels, contributing to reduced panel size when compared to
traditional power distribution blocks.
The Compact PDB is ideal for low voltage applications. Rated for UL600V, ampere range of 85-250A, it can accommodate wire ranges AWG
18-3/0, catering to a wide range of low voltage applications. The PDBs
can be DIN rail mounted, are dual wire rated, and are capable of DLO
wire acceptance allowing ease of installation. Translucent covers allow
visual inspection of wire termination points and wiring configurations.
FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Finger-safe protection: Fully insulated block ensures touch-safe
isolation of live parts. Recessed termination screws and wire
openings provide IP20 grade protection and qualify as “fingersafe”
per IEC 529. Translucent cover allows for visual inspection of wire
termination
• Compact modularity: Smaller footprint allows panel builders to
reduce space and build smaller or higher density panels.
• Snap on DIN-rail mounting: Integral DIN rail adaptors allow for quick
and easy installations on 35mm DIN rail, yielding lower installed costs.
• Captive termination screws: Unique channel design ensures captive
metric wire termination screws. Screws can never be lost.
• Multiple wire ratings: Blocks are multi wire rated - see multi wire
rating table and can accomodate 18AWG wire for low voltage
applications such as LED lighting. Can also accept DLO wires.
• CSA certified: Class 6228
